Let's face it. In general, we women can be controlling. A lot. If you are like me, you also like to be "right" and like to "fix" things.
It feels good; it feels safe. And, well, we are good at it. *smile*
If there is one thing I have learned in my old age (almost 43), it is learning to just let things go.
Little did I know when I am married Daniel, that learning to let things go would be a huge key to a happy marriage. He and I are not only from very different cultures we are complete opposites in sooooo many ways.
I saw this on pinterest the other day---Go look at it and come back:
Such a simple image with such a DIFFICULT statement. Let it go.
Learning to let things go has brought me so much peace and harmony in my marriage.
That Pinterest image is neat, the thought of letting a balloon just float away.
HARD to do, but so so freeing.
I am not Daniel's mother. I do not need to correct him like a child.
I am not the Holy Spirit in his life either.
I must let things go that he does that I may not like or approve of at the time, or things I am annoyed by.
I must let things go.... and as the older saying goes, let go and let God.
GOD is so much better at fixing things that I am, why don't I just leave it to him.
The more I let go, the more I fall deeper and deeper in love with Daniel too.
HE is actually the one God has used to teach me how to let things go.
I am blessed.
