For Those Who Want to Do it all {by themselves}

I like to fight my own battles. I always have. I'm not good at asking for help, I suppose.

I'm an I can figure this out myself kind of person...

But the older I get the more I realize I really can't do it all myself. Not when there are so many different things that need doing. I need a support system and I need to let some things go... and you know what? That's okay. 

Someone once told me I was so lucky I knew what God had called me to do. I am lucky. I'm so thankful for that, but that calling doesn't come with an instruction book...and that's where the challenge comes in...

I have this theory that if I do enough reading/writing/researching, eventually I'll figure it out. But lately I'm starting to think God doesn't want me to figure it all out...because if I do, what would I need him for? 

So this week, I'm looking at my list. My wonderful, ever-growing, always in the back of my mind list... and I'm asking God what I need to give over to him. Because frankly, I could use the help. 

What are you holding onto today?

What do you need to let go of?

What do you need help with? 

He will fight for you...just be still...
