"Let go and let God"

"Let go and let God."

I used to not like that saying.
My reasons for this was because it sounded to easy,to nonchalant, to simple .
But I see this saying is true because of its simplicity.  God himself says to cast our burden on Him. To cast means to lay down,to let go,to let Him carry it and care for you.God is personally caring for you as an individual.
I think that truth at times is hard to accept and embrace because it's simple and we as "grown-ups" are past simplicity. We want complicated  stuff to mull over and hash out. But what  wonderful ,simple truths of God's love &care for us we miss when we forget to have a "faith like a child ". We miss out on the joy &peace  when we believe and have confidence in God when He says "Come to me,all who labor and are heavy laden  and I will give you rest...You will find rest for your souls.For my yoke is easy,and my burden light." (Matthew 11:28,29b-30)
We need to lay down our burdens,climb into His arms and cling to Christ as a child clings to their father and rest in Him. "Let go and let God", yes  Abba,  Father here it is ,it's yours.

I made a skirt!

It's been sadly awhile since I made ,and fully completed a sewing project. So  the other day I sat down a made a  skirt from start to finish in one day !
I had so much fun,and it brought me so much joy to hear the hum of my sewing machine once again! This skirt is probably my favorite skirt ever. It's a full circle,it has a pocket in it (and we girls know how awesome it is to have pockets in our skirts ! ) :) .
Will be making many more like this soon!

His will alone

It's been awhile since my last post. Life has been busy these days. Sharing a little bit of what's been on my heart and mind these days! 

The deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by his letting us have our way in the end, but by his making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able to honestly pray what he taught his disciples to pray: Thy will be done.” -Elisabeth Eillot 

 "Thy will be done ".

  I believe that is about the hardest prayer to life up before the Lord. It goes against our "I really want my way" human nature . But it's never really been about our, it's always His way,His will because His way is the truth and light. Our own way will never lead to the joy ,peace and happiness we imagine . . . . . . "Your way,O God is holy...." Psalm 77:13a "Teach me to do your will, Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground. "Psalm 143:10
