“Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.” – C.S. Lewis.

“Decisions sometimes prove to be the hardest to make, especially when it’s a choice between where you should be and where you really wanted to be.”

“Let God have your life; He can do more with it than you can.” Dwight L. Moody

“It hurts to let go, but sometimes it hurts more to hold on.”
“Let go of the past so that God can open the door to your future.”
“When you finally let go something better comes along.”
“To heal your wound you need to stop touching it.”

I work at the airport and believe me, I’ve seen it all. I once saw a passenger dressed like he was out of a John Travolta picture,  “Saturday Night Fever”.  He had the whole bell bottoms and all and I’m thinking to myself, why? It’s the twenty first century!  Anyway, I guess that’s just a comical illustration of how I view us when we refuse to let go of our hurtful past, whether it’s relationships, hurts, fears, mistakes, if we can’t let go and move forward in Christ, we’re going to look like a person that’s wearing bell bottoms in the twenty first century and instead of looking cool like “Saturday Night Fever”, we’ll be more like a joke from “Saturday Night Live”.  I mean who really discos anymore? Okay, you get my point.  Maybe it’s time to clean out the wardrobe, get rid of the parachute pants and the jean jacket, time for a new look. Remember, if we are not moving forward, we’re  not growing and if we’re not growing then we’re only dying.

Philippians 3:13-14

“Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead, I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus.”
