So I have been sick the last couple of days. So much so I have had to accept help from my friends and neighbors because I haven't been able to do some things. This is very hard for me to do. Accept help that is. I can give help. That is what I do. But I don't accept help. I never need it. Right?
What does this have to do with giving up sugar? Not much really. Except the whole accepting help thing. Letting people in far enough and letting them help you. Realizing I am not strong enough to do it all on my own. I thin this is where I fail miserably with God. I am ok as long as life is sailing alone rather smoothly. Minor bumps I can hand over, but as soon as things get rough, I want to take complete control and try and fix it myself. Why is that? What am I afraid of?
I think if I would spend more time letting go and letting God keep the control, I might actually be more free. Letting the folks in to help me the last few days did nothing to compromise who I was. In fact it helped me and allowed me to feel connected and cared for. Just imagine what it would be like if I or we did that and let God in a little bit more every day.
