Let it go....

Okay... I know it's been awhile and that seems to be the new theme for me here on my blog. Sorry! :(

This is just one of those blogs that I just share my heart! Nothing cuties and fun just from the heart. A few weeks back I told you that God had been really working in my life and trying to teach me in new areas. He still is and man is He good! I'm so grateful that He's a gracious and merciful God, aren't you? Cuz man sometimes I think I just don't get it. He's really been trying to drill into this thick head of mine just how much He loves me. JUST for me! Not for who I think I ought to be or who I want to be but JUST me! Could it be that simple? I really think so! He's also been teaching me to just, "let it go." Man this has really been hard for me. For some reason, I want to just fix it all... But every time I turn around there He is again, saying "let it go, Misty. Just let it go!" As most of you know, the last few years very trying and difficult. I went through some things in my life that just rocked this little preacher girls perfect world or at least my idea of it. And to be honest I've had a very hard time knowing what to do with all of it. The pain is very real and very deep and at times just suffocating. But God has been telling me and showing me, in that ever small voice, "Just let it go precious one... let me have it, let me love you!" I wonder how many others of you know, exactly what I'm talking about? Don't you know God must feel much like we feel as parents? Why don't they just trust me enough to listen to me? I know He has my best interests at heart but for some reason I want to hold on to that hurt and that pain. Why? Why do I do that? Why can't I just let it go and let Him have it? I just know that, at this point in my life, deep in my spirit, something has to change. I have to trust Him, maybe in way that I've never trusted Him before. I think there's alot of us out there that feel this very same way. Something has got to give. There's alot of hurting people and we need God to save us, save us most of all from ourselves! So today I leave you with this... Know God loves you and You are His prize possession, not for who you think you should be, what you've done or haven't done, despite the many mistake BUT just for who you are! You do know, you've never gone too far, right? He loves you so much more than you can imagine! We just have to let Him!

Just let it go....
