Let Go

I've been wanting to get the words "let it go" tattooed on the inside of my wrist for a few years now to remind me to relax a little and stop letting worry rule my thoughts. Then that darn Frozen movie came out! You win Elsa. 

For the past year or so I've been in and out of a funk with my life. I feel like I'm right on the edge of something great in every aspect, but still just on the edge. And in one particular aspect I feel like I'm barely hanging on, but not on the side that's going to launch me into greatness, I'm barely hanging on to the edge that ends in doom and despair. The edge you can never come back from.

Then this song came on the radio and every single word spoke to me....

Hold it all together

Everybody needs you strong

But life hits you out of nowhere

And barely leaves you holding on

And when you're tired of fighting

Chained by your control

There's freedom in surrender

Lay it down and let it go

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away

You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held

Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place

I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held

Just be held, just be held

If your eyes are on the storm

You'll wonder if I love you still

But if your eyes are on the cross

You'll know I always have and I always will

And not a tear is wasted

In time, you'll understand

I'm painting beauty with the ashes

Your life is in My hands

Lift your hands, lift your eyes

In the storm is where you'll find Me

And where you are, I'll hold your heart

I'll hold your heart

Come to Me, find your rest

In the arms of the God who wont let go

Casting crowns- 

"Just be held"
