50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind: 18

I went a little bit out of order because, in all honesty I'm in a strange mood tonight.  Actually it's not too strange at all because I find myself feeling this way very often.  Sort of a romantic, very emotional, but also melancholy feeling.  I don't feel like going further into it but I wanted to find a question whose answer I felt like answering.  So number 18 it is.


18.Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?
Yes.  In fact I am.  I know I'm holding onto something that's a very big deal (and a lot of other little things that someday might become big deals if they're not dealt with).  This thing that I'm holding onto that I know is a big deal though, I don't know exactly what it is.  I know I need to let go, but I don't know of what.  But I guess here's where I need to let go of my every possible mental projection of the future and trust God with every option.  Maybe someday He will make it clear what I need to let go of but one thing I know is that He is asking me to hold onto Him now and forever.  And He has promised to hold onto me too.  Ahh.  What a relief because I don't like letting go.  But when it's to be able to hold something I know is better, I think I can bear it.

Post Prompts I

I googled blog post prompts just for fun and found a website with a whole bunch.  Rather than writing whole posts on some of the topics, I decided to do interview style responses. Write about the first time you broke the law. When I was 4, stole a handful of grass seed from a store. Felt awful but never admitted to it untill way later. They knew I was lying but never prosecuted (is it even possible to prosecute a 4 year old?).  I discarded the evidence onto their lawn as soon as I got out of the store (I guess that was sort of smart).  Why grass seed? Good question.  Your favorite vacation spot or place that you've traveled to. An Island in Malaysia called Redang. Everything about that place looked like those tropical photos you secretly doubt the existence of.  Straight up B-E-A-U-tiful. Write about the passing of a loved one. My Grandma died 2 years ago on the 4th of July (ironic, don't you think?).  For me, the whole experience wa...

Christmas Eve Eve

Today is Christmas Eve Eve.  I worked almost all day.  I'm very thankful for the hours and I didn't have other plans so I didn't mind being there. One of my managers kept asking me if I was in a bad mood though.  I think 3 times she asked me this today between the two shifts that I worked.  At first I just thought I wasn't really paying attention to my facial expressions since I was busy and tired (I tend to look mad when I'm not paying attention and tired). Then I started thinking about it more and I realized that maybe there was something wrong deep down and I hadn't even noticed it. There has been quite a bit on my mind for the past few months and especially this past week or so- I had noticed that- but I didn't know it had gotten to me so much.  I am thankful though because it gives me an opportunity to give the burden to the Lord.  This whole thing has made me think that even though there is noticeably something on my heart the fact that Christmas i...

Wounded with Love

" You have wounded me with your love and I'll never be the same again I try to run, I try to hide but my heart burns it burns with your fire set a fire down in my soul that I can't contain and I can't control I want more of you God   I love you Lord I don't care what it looks like " This wound is one that I love.  This wound draws me back to you time and time again.  I try to walk away but my heart has been awakened to love and now I can't turn away.  This hurt keeps me yearning for more of the love that changed me forever.  This seal that has been stamped on my heart will forever brand me Yours. At first it didn't make sense to me.  At first I didn't understand how a wound would ever be good, but then you showed me that you had to wound me for my heart to be replaced with yours.  At first I wanted to run and I tried to, but you wouldn't let me get away from something so wonderful.  You don't force me to stay- but the impact ...
