"Let it go, Let it go..."

Let it go, let it go

Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, let it go

Turn away and slam the door!

Let it go, let it go

I am one with the wind and the sky

Let it go, let it go

You'll never see me cry. 

Here I stand and here I'll stay

Let the storm rage on! 

(Walt Disney Records: Produced by: Kirsten Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez)

Words memorized by thousands.

Words lived out by thousands. 

Thousands inspired by words. 

These words ring out through my speakers. Thoughts flood my mind as I think of several things that I could let go, turn away and slam the door! Your thoughts race to areas you too could let go, turn away, and slam the door! What is that for you? 

Lies. Fears. Insecurities. 

I listened to a song today that took a different approach to singing out let it go. 

Celebrate His love by Bethel Church. 

From my inmost parts, living water flows

It cannot stay contained

I most let it go

Let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go

Celebrate His grace

Rise up my soul

To shout His praise

Like Princess Elsa, we all have things that hurt and we let go. 

Yet, we all have things we can give, we celebrate, and can't help but let go!
Do you ever get to a point of excitement that you SCREAM? - okay maybe that's just me! 
But you are so full, you pour out with emotions! You let go of what is happening in the inmost part of you to be shared by the world around you! 

What if that type of excitement and zeal is what we let go? 

What if my attention, what if your attention was letting go (giving) of love in such purse, beautiful ways...instead of what steals our time (lies, insecurities, fears, (insert your word)...) that we so desperately sing out, "let it go." 

How then do you sing, "Let it go?" 

Let others around you feel the joy, beauty, and grace your letting go can produce!

Take a listen.

Live NOW and not WHEN.

The sun hits the horizon, my legs feel as rubbery as the tires on your car, my sides feeling the increase in oxygen demand, as my brain and heart take in God's still small voice. Each step on my run, moments to reflect on my day. Letting go of the concerns, worries, and doubts. Moments to give God and well you know burn a few calories too.

As my feet carried me from side streets, to main roads, to paths, the music and lyrics rang in my heart, "In your presence Lord, I will find my strength, my everything, my one desire." "I will find you in the place I'm in." As I turned a corner, a white pickup gently glided past. Within a few moments, it was no longer in sight. There I was, still on the same street, same houses to pass, and keeping a good pace. However, I was already wishing my location was the distance of the white truck.

How many times do I do this throughout my day? Wishing away the now moments for the "when" moments. Watching others, what seems like gliding gently through life, living out dreams, and finding adventures. I watch them as they drive out of sight onto their adventure as I continue to run the trail I'm on, slowly. However, something beautiful happened while I took in the environment I was in. The details of the sky, trees, and faces around me. The moment to be so full from God's creation, to lift my hand in praise to a God who knows each detail! Life was happening now! My pace, yes so different than yours. Yet, beautifully designed, orchestrated, and lead. I was able to embrace the now moment and realize the "when" moments will come.

So I'm living now.
