I'm Letting Go

Yesterday I woke to a beautiful spring morning and decided to go for a run.  With the sun shining, birds chirping, and the cool breeze I just couldn't resist but to embrace the beautiful day.  I laced up my tennis shoes and cranked up my ipod. 


 It wasn't too far down the course did I hear the words, 
" My heart beats, standing on the edge
But my feet have finally left the ledge


Like an acrobat
There’s no turning back


I’m letting go
Of the life I planned for me
And my dreams
Losing control
Of my destiny
Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe
So I’m letting go


This is a giant leap of faith
Trusting and trying to embrace


The fear of the unknown
Beyond my comfort zone"


I just love it when the Lord is constantly reminding me to trust him.  I was empowered by his spirit that it motivated me to run 2.5 miles.  I was overwhelmed by the love of the Lord to just be content.  


Once I got home I read Luke 9:57-62.  In this passage it speaks of the cost of following Christ.  The Lord was reminding me that the path to following Jesus is not comfortable or easy, but he is always there to guide me.  It tells the story of 3 men whom Jesus wanted to follow him.  The men constantly were telling the Lord to wait...  Jesus insists that following him must take first priority over every other relationship and obligation.  


Jesus said to him," No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."  I need to keep looking forward and let the Lord lead my life.  


I need to quit controlling...
