Last night as I was trying to go to sleep, I had this vision of someone trying to move forward, they were moving but going no where fast. I realized they were not going anywhere because there was something pulling them from behind. Instantly I thought, what’s holding me back? I’ve recognized at times I can hold on to things, whether it’s a grudge or just someone doing something bad to me, I hold on to it.

Yesterday was a good day. I went to see the movie, Breakthrough, great movie I recommend. Then I came home and watched Being Mary Jane, which I enjoyed as well. In watching both the show and movie, there was a point in which the characters of both realized the importance of just letting go of control. In a past blog post, I talked about understanding what God has for you, is for you and not trying to control or manipulate things to benefit yourself. Well, this blog is similar, knowing when to let go and surrender to God can be tough, but necessary. All to often we try to hold…
