Wow Friends,
It is funny how life happens and some things are forgotten about. It seems other things start taking control of our lives. Really those other things are things we would like to forget about. My blogging is what I am talking about right now. I totally forgot I was blogging. I was on facebook and it just hit me that hey, it has been weeks since I have shared.
So, here we are. Sit down with me with for a few minutes and exhale. Take a deep breathe. Breathe in thru your nose and out your mouth. (it always helps me) I have missed sharing my blogs with all of you. I started journaling when I was 12 years old. My Mom passed away and it was such a tragic time is my life. Journaling was a way to express what was swirling on the inside. So, I look at blogging the same way. Here I am as an adult over 20yrs ago, still getting relief and healing from sharing what is going on in my heart. <3
The title is Letting Go. I am going to tell you I don't have it all together and probably won't ever! PG and that is why we need Jesus, a King of all Kings!!!!! I have been in this season of Letting Go...I don't fully understand and prob never will either.
I do know that the more I let go the lighter I feel. Sometimes it feels like the weight of the world lays on my shoulders and that gets to be a heavy burden to bear. I love God's word and the part that says His yoke is easy and light. The thing is we don't even realize that we are holding on too tightly. That could be with things or people. I have learned that the times I hold on too tightly are the times that the pain is the greatest. I think about when I work out in the gym. I remember when I worked in the fitness industry as a personal trainer. We were taught when you lift weights to not hold on too tightly. This goes for the weight training machines and the free weights. Of course you want to have a good firm hold so you don't drop it or get hurt. I think about our firm strong foundation in Christ. We gotta know that HE has a strong hold on our lives.
See, this is all coming to me as a type and share and I am loving it. Working out is one of my most favorite things to do and I take it serious. It relieves much stress and keeps my body toned and healthy. So, to use that in letting go just blows my mind. I am gleaning more revelation as I share with all of you. Thanks for your faithfulness to read my blogs. Please next time one of you or all of you remind a sista that I haven't blogged in weeks and you are missing them. :)
Sweet sweet blessings,
Joannie
Taste and see the Lord is good...
PS and Warning: You will see typo errors and it drives me crazy too but Im letting go...
