Learning to Let Go

I once had a dream that I was swimming in the ocean and I decided to go surfing. I was afraid at first, fighting against the waves instead of riding with them. After a while I let go of my idea of control and decided to ride the wave and not fight. Before you knew it I was surfing like a pro. I have been wanting

to loose weight yet at the same time fighting myself. Fighting the wave of change that is really the inevitable which is futile and tbh foolish. Fear: Face Everything and Recover, no longer will I live in a state of Fear; to be afraid of (someone or something) as likely to be dangerous, painful, or threatening. (Oxford dictionary) My weight is the biggest physical change I have to face and no longer will I allow myself to fight against this inevitable change. The idea of walking into the unknown scares me but I'm courageous and victorious and I know that For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Phil. 4:13 . For so many years I've neglected myself while taking care of those around me, including those that I work with. As I have spent the last 15 years of my life as a nurse I have learned the art of empathy and compassion towards others yet all the while overlooking me. I'm learning to let go and Let God. As his masterpiece I am learning that I can no longer fight the wave but must ride the wave. So here's to letting go and riding the best wave of my life.
