Let Go and Let God!

Let go and let God. Easy to say, hard to do. But in this moment I am reminded and will start to let go again.

Sometimes I get so caught up in my thoughts, thoughts of what I should have done and what I will do next time in order to drive a situation in the direction I think it should go. And it takes me spinning out of control in my mind. My body follows and tension and stress build up and I find myself annoyed with someone else, questioning his sincerity and our compatibility based solely on this one thought that has taken on a life of its own.

Certainly I’ll address this concern with him, but why, in my mind, must it be this deep discussion with the likelihood of derailing our plans for an enjoyable time together on our next date. This thought could be an errant one placed in my mind by my gremlin, meant to hold me back, keep me from my joy, just as easily as it could be a hit of intuition telling me something completely different.

When I stop focusing on this one negative thought and think about the many other things I’ve experienced with him, the thoughtful gifts he’s given me, and the compassionate comments he’s expressed, I have a completely different outlook and feeling about the relationship. Why then do I choose the negative one to noodle on day after day?

Let it go and let God!
