Let it all go and fall

In the last week, I have come across 2 scenarios that have encouraged me in a "free falling" posture. One scenario I saw on TV. It was a special, documenting people's lives. There was a guy, who climbed this mountain and he ended up slipping, and as he fell through the air, his arms and feet hustled to gain his ground back, but only for a few seconds and then he stoped fighting, relaxes his body and rests into the fall. He knew he wasn't going to survive the fall and he didn't fight what was coming.

Then, there was another scenario, I read about in a book called "Discovering Your Soul Signature". This was a true story as well. There was a young women who was driving her "Mini Cooper" down the street and she was rear ended by a school bus that was going about 50 miles per hour. Her car wrecked, but she opened the door and got out the car with no injuries, and she said "that at the moment of impact, her body went limp. She just completely … let go.”

I have never tried this posture of letting go and "free falling". But I'm sensing that there are times and seasons where we need to take on this posture. Stop scratching and clawing and just open your hands, let go and fall into whatever awaits us. I'm sure it's good, because God says he has good plans for us:

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Many of us think we can't let go. We are scared to let go. We are scared of the unknown. We are scared of not trying to control outcomes. But I believe that in "letting go" the adventure of your life will truly begin.

Think before you defend yourself

I get on social media and I do my best not to be critical of anyone. It's not my place. I do find it kind of interested how personal relationships, insecurities, and hurts are expressed where the whole world can see. Social media is like this enigma that continues to spark my interest. I find myself asking "why would he/she share something so deep and personal with people who don't know them or even care?". I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I just find myself being very curious and intrigued about why? There is one trend I see, on social media, that sparks a bit of concern. The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media. I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within . Social media speaks volumes to me about inner battles we go through. A thou

Dead or Alive????

One day, when I was cleaning the kitchen, I had a bunch of stuff in my hand. Some stuff was trash, that I wanted to throw away, and some stuff was not trash. Would you believe that I went to the trashcan and tried to throw away trash, while trying to hold on to stuff that wasn't trash, in the same hand. Who does that?. When I threw my trash away, immediately I was like "Wait, did I throw something away that wasn't trash?". Honestly, I didn't know. Because it all felt the same in that one hand. I realized that when you are holding onto too much stuff at one time, everything in your hand begins to feel so natural, that it's hard to tell the difference between what you are suppose to be letting go of and what you are suppose to be holding onto. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Matthew 16:25-26 M

The dirty truth about discipline

I got up this morning, went through the 2 hour process of getting my kids ready for school. Once they were at school I came back home and decided I was going to read my bible, reflect on some things, and write some things down in my planner. Well guess what????? A wave of drowsiness washed over me.....................I had coffee in my hand and I still got so sleepy. So sleepy that I absolutely had to allow myself to drift off into a slumber. I had scheduled a workout at my favorite workout spot, Orange Theory. But I was so sleepy that I was tempted to cancel. Thanks to Orange Theory you can't cancel, the same day, via their app. You have to call and even then you might lose your class that you paid for. They normally have a waiting list for classes. With that said I forced my butt up and into action to get to my class. I'm so thankful to Orange Theory and the way they promote accountability, especially during this special time in my life. See God has me focused
