I got this?

It's been a REAL long while since I have written anything on here, but thought I might share in a effort to help anyone else that this might speak to.  Because I am sure I am not the only one who knows deep down they really don't, but their actions are saying I GOT THIS.

Last night I attended a really nice women's ministry dinner.  The speaker's words were very thought provoking.  I could relate to every point, but one in particular really stood out to me.  She said that every battle is not ours to fight.  It was one of those points where God decides to provide me with a visual as well (I guess to really get me to get it).  He led me to imagine myself being weighted down and struggling to walk with a giant backpack on my back.  I immediately knew what was inside.  It was my kids, my husband...all the things that I worry over.  All the things I try to fix and all the battles (past, present, future) I try to fight were in the backpack.  It's always there.  It's a struggle to put it down.  I know he wants me to hand it over to him.  I know that what is a completely exhausting burden and joy killer for me is but a speck of dust to him.  When the evening was over I wrote these words he put on my heart: 

Put your (really my) children down.  Do what you can, do what I have asked you to do as a wife and mother and then let go.  Put them down. Give them to me.  I can fix anything.  It is not for you to fix.  Stop worrying over things you can't control.

My prayer is that I can let it go and hand it over.  That I can rest and live in the here and now and let him handle everything else.  It's my prayer for others that deal with letting go as well.

LOVE
