Letting Go

Last weekend I went to Kirksville and it was really amazing.  Before I went I was all full of emotions.  I was really anxious and nervous, but also determined to have a great time.  We hung out, baked, talked, and went on an awesome picnic, but the best part of the weekend was spending time out at the living cross at Jo-Ota with Erin.  While the rest of the Flame was out doing the challenge course, Erin and I went up to the living cross for some much-needed quiet time.  As soon as I got into that space, I knew it was exactly where I was supposed to be...and needed to be.  I felt so calm and my time there allowed me to let go of a lot and find the peace I've been needing. 

I have been carrying around a lot of hurt and anger for a while now, and much more lately.  I became so far from God, and wasn't letting Him in to heal me.  I knew that I had to go back to him if I'm ever going to really be healed of all this hurt.  At the living cross I started that journey, and I felt renewed.  I am continually working on letting go of the things that have happened so I can move on and get back to being me.
