It hurts when God makes you let go
Corrie ten Boom once said, "Hold everything in your fingers lightly... otherwise it hurts when God has to pry your fingers open, to make you let it go...." We should hold on to everything lightly. There is nothing in our lives that God is not more than worthy of. I have not yet read the book, "Crazy love" but I want to because I have read the title chapters. One of them is "Lukewarm and leftovers, God hates them both." We should not serve a holy God leftovers. He is awesome, more than worthy of our everything. We should hold everything loosely, because it hurts when God has to pry open our fingers to make us let go. Let's not give God the 'leftovers' in our lives. Let's not hold on to the pleasures of the world. Let's give God our everything, and not hold on to the things in this life. Isn't this the least that He deserves?

Hey, Rachel! It's Hannah Dokupil! I discovered your blog from Hosanna's. =) Hope you've been well. Really good post - about letting go - something God's been teaching me recently.
That's awesome that you're doing speech - so am I!! Hopefully I'll see you around! I ought to get your email address sometime, since you have gmail.... =)
Cheers!

Hi Hannah!! Thank you, I'm glad you liked the post.
How have you been? I saw you at VBS (at FEPC) and I never got a chance to talk to you :(. I'm so glad you're doing speech this year... for some reason I thought you were going to a public school but I must have misunderstood. I actually don't have gmail, but I've seen your e-mail address on Alyssa and Kristin's emails so I'll look and send you a message!
Glad you found my blog!
Blessings, Rachel
