Is there something in your life that you need to let go of? Turn over to God? Someone you need to forgive? What's holding you back?

Seems like a lot of us are treading water. What will it take for us to take that one step of faith that will lead us to whatever promised land God has planned for each of us, whether alone or not?
 
I think whether anyone is willing to publically admit it or not, we all have areas in our life where great growth could occur, but we are not allowing it because of our actions, or inaction, or stubborness/bitterness/ sorrow/ etc.

It takes a great deal of humility to move past circumstances that have once, OR that have to potential cripple you.

I need to learn to let God drive more often..........but its hard..........dont let many people drive my pick ups or tractors...........and neither were around when he walked the earth!!!!
 
I can think of no more apt place to recommend listening to Carrie Underwood's song: Jesus Take The Wheel
Especial ly with Midwestern country boy homer just commenting and Underwood from Oklahoma 'n all;)

So, be encouraged, everyone, we are not home yet and this road is tough, but Heaven is real answer and I encourage you all to realize that everything you've done regretfully is GONE momento the words have left-hand your líps and are in our Saviour's hands-on.

Here is an encouraging song that speaks volumes of your wanting to just forget it all and give up...Chris TomlIN's: our God is greater, our God is STRONGER, OUR God is higher than any other. And IF our God is for us then who can EVER STOP US? AND, IF, OUR God is with us, WHAT, OR, WHO, CAN STAND AGAINST THAT kind of power??

None :)

Mercy Me : Homesick .
Great song right here, too, to let God know you are struggling on this temporary home you were born on :)

I feel the same but, I wish I could better know what it is.

I feel like my life is on pause and until I find the remote (probably in the couch) its just going to be stuck that way for a little while.
 
Taking it one day at a time. Jesus on the Lead things are good. I allow Him to show me the way, to show me the things i need to let go off. One day at a time...

I have often noticed that people will spend 5 minutes looking for the remote, when in that amount of time hey could have already gotten up and turned the volume down or changed the channel the old fashioned way.

(Just a thought)
 
And, sometimes, while we're looking for the remote, we find car keys, cellphones, a favorite earring we lost and all sorts of fun stuff :) (But you might want to just throw those stale Cheetos away :p)
