Let Go and Let God

This is a motto I strive to live by yet fail to do so on a daily basis. This may be no surprise to many reading this blog but I have an issue with not saying " no" to people, taking on way more than I can handle. I take on a lot and instead of leading God control my life I try to "take the reins." I find time and time again that me taking the reins gets me no where but stressed, burnt out, empty, tired and anxious. You think I would learn? I am so blessed to have the opportunity to work in Ministry, I try to remind myself that it is not my ministry it's Gods. He will provide the teachers, He will guide us, He will touch the hearts and lives of the children. He may use us as His tools to do so, but we have to "let go and let God." I have been blessed with an incredible husband and two beautiful girls. I often try to play the role of super mom/wife. Cleaning, cooking, errands, paying bills, taking care of the animals and more. But the second I make that a priority over my spiritual life I sink into anxiety, fear, sometimes even fits of depression. I am learning that I HAVE to "let go and let God." To anyone reading this blog, I do not by any means think I have all the answers but one thing I do know and pray for you to know also is this... We have a wonderful and loving God who is here to "take the reins" of our lives, we simply have to " let go and let God." Give Him your anxiety, your stress, your finances, your worry, your fears even your hopes and dreams. This is something I am learning daily. I just felt led to write about how AMAZING He is and how there is NOTHING absolutely NOTHING I can do without Him.
