Letting Go...Free Up

It's amazing how we pray for things to get lighter, easier, better, less stressful just feel the space of our own beingness if nothing else.  This week is my week to get up early, get the pre-teen and adolescents off the school which involves me previously me driving, then me riding with my oldest to school as her school is just outside the school district where we live and making sure they get on their respective buses. Well, today, to experience my daughter kiss me and tell me she would see me later as she got in the car to drive herself after I took pictures of her in her outfit for Senior Week was very emotional. The joy and sadness of letting go. My goodness, my little girl has grown up.  As we count down to prom, then graduation, and then college (and all things in between), I'm sure this will not be the last time tears will fall.  I thank God in this little corner of the earth I get to experience the life that I once dreamed about.  Although on one hand I am freed to do something else with myself, yet on another I feel out of control.  Freedom is something else.  Today, I saw the Lord! What does "letting go" mean to you? What can you let go of in order to free yourself up even in a small way? Think about that & choose to enjoy your day!
