Last year, I worked hard to create boundaries to protect my family from toxic ‘others.’ A new renewed my resolve to preserve my mental health and peace of mind.
This year, I made it my goal to Surrender. To entrust everything to God. To let things go and release the need to control. To not resist, try to change others, or force things to happen.
So, how am I doing with it?
In some areas — I’ve done okay or even pretty well. In others — failing daily. And then remembering I’m supposed to surrender — and how things would be swell if I would just follow through with that plan!!
I didn’t know letting go of control would be so hard.
I know I need to embrace the ‘let them’ philosophy that recently posted about. To let go and let God. I know it’s the right thing, but I’ve kept such a tight grasp on things for so long that it’s a hard habit to break.
