So I would usually just chalk up 3 weeks of missed blogging as 3 weeks as missed blogging ( after much guilt and turmoil of course – ya, I’m kind of hard on myself) Anyways, I have become a bit of a new me in the last 3 weeks, and if I had not had such a remarkable experience that I feel like I must share, I would have as this song says . . . “Let Go”.
I know that this song is probably not written how I interpreted it, but I love this song, as I liken it in my own life, and my perfectionist tendencies, and my addiction with food, this song says it all for me. Maybe you can relate in some round about way too – this is what I love so much about music. I get to interpret it however I want, and make it mine – and love someone else’s creative genius!
So as of February 20, when I should have been blogging, I was on a plane to Hong Kong. The week leading up to that flight was remarkable. I had the opportunity to prepare a presentation on my weight loss experience. Preparing for the presentation was when the life changing happened. I know that the Lord blessed me so much as I did the work (prepared, processed, prayed, listened, doubted, cried, and remembered, read, thought, wrote, and watched the last 5 years of my life into an hour long presentation).
So as I was on the plane on the way to Hong Kong, I was exhausted not only physically but emotionally. It was a lot to ‘figure out’. And what did I figure out you ask? That the Lord’s plan of agency is REAL. When be follow the plan, we are free. . . . I just have to keep following the rules and then I will continue to be free of these chains that have been binding me for so long. . . . it’s as easy as that – why is life so easy and so hard all at the same time. . . I don’t know. . . but it is . . . .
