::releasing the hold::

I think today is one of the best days I've had in awhile....and I think its because I let go of somethings that were just weighing me down, things that I had no control over but yet I was so wrapped up in worry over them I could hardly even pray about them. Peter didn't say; "cast only the cares you feel like casting on Jesus, like the small ones, because He cares for you."...no he said; "Cast ALL your cares on Him because He cares for you...!'' 1 Peter 5:7

Why does it seem so much easier to fret then to trust, to worry then to have faith, and to control instead of releasing?

The more one gives to GOD the more He can give back. The more He can control the better everything turns out. The more we worry and try to control the more we take for ourselves and the more we make us miserable and those around us miserable!! Jesus said that the birds of the air, and the lilies of the field are taken care of, but yet we humans who say we believe that we mean more to GOD, worry about all the big things in life and only trust GOD with the little things, the things that if we tried real hard (or not) we could fix just well enough on our own, and then we sit back and cry our little eyes out saying "GOD!!! Why are you doing this to me? Why aren't you there, why aren't you helping me as we wrestle with the boulders, but yet we sulkily tell Him "no its mine," when ever He tries to take it..I think the cure is in us, or should I say in me.

I know that for me it is time to start trusting GOD with everything, including the gigantic things in my life...the things dear to my heart...with me even!!!!!

It's time for me to show Him I love Him in more then words, but in the way that I completely through myself into His arms and gleefully yell; "CATCH ME DADDY! I LOVE YOU THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MUCH!!!!!!
