Life is a continual process of learning to let go.
Yet at the same time, discovering how to open up.
Tossing baggage, letting go of hurt and breaking down the walls, isn’t for the faint of heart. {<====Click to tweet}
But it is necessary.

And just when life seems to even out and give me permission to breathe, God shows me where I’m still holding my breath, where I’m still packing baggage around that I don’t need.

Out of love, He brings in the blow torch and irons out the wrinkles of my soul. He flattens out the crumpled-up pieces of this textured life and He weaves them into a rich silk…that flows soft and even.

In the process of sorting out life, does it ever leave you questioning if you’ll EVER arrive at that “perfect” spot where life, dreams, and duties all seem to dance the perfect balance and magically fall into place?

The truth is, we live in a world of opposition. Difficulties arise. Chaos ensues. Some will doubt your abilities. Others may laugh at your dreams. And most importantly, there will always be a million legitimate reasons why, now is not a good time.

It’s taken me a long time to work through this. The hardest challenge by far though, has been myself. It’s almost like I’ve been waiting for somebody to give me permission to step out — to own this life that God has given me.

So I let go and I open up. I make room in my soul for what really matters and I cling to Him. Because I know that no dream works, without the dream giver. {<====Click to Tweet}

De-cluttering is more than an organization project. It’s rather gut-wrenching. Letting go involves looking at what you’re holding onto, and what is holding you back.

“The most dangerous word for a God-sized dream is “someday.”
How can you start implementing your God-sized dream
{even in a small way} right where you are?” 
—Holly Gerth

What are you willing to let go of in your life, to make room for what really matters?
