I know a lot of people who like to be in complete CONTROL of their lives. and aren't so willing to let go of pride... to let go of the control... and give in to the holy spirit... i know that's what i was like before i gave my heart back to the Lord.
But you know what is soooo cool? when I just let go! it's like a free fall into the arms of someone who loves you so much! more than anyone of this world can love you!
In fact, i have to "free fall" over and over again... continually losing my pride and my own plans... my own control... and just leave it in God's hands.
I read this cool little quote from Rob Bell today that i thought i'd share with you...
"Jesus invites that part of us to die. the part of us that always has to be right. the part of us that always has to be better. the part of us that always has to look good"
- Luke 12:22-26 - Then Jesus said to his disciples: "therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens : They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than the birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?"
seriously peeps, let go. free fall.
