We are overly busy helicopter parents, control freaks, perfectionists, intolerants, over-consumers and social media junkies--who worry, fear, laugh less and always want more.
It is living minimally from the inside out..
This is one woman\'s history of Holding on and her stories of turning loose--stories of the gentle and firm, humorous and heartbreaking ways God led her to turn loose.
In a particular season of her life, she recognized her bent to possess, to keep, to hold tightly, and to control was completely contrary to Jesus\' example.
She clung to youthfulness as if what would come next couldn\'t be her life\'s cherry on top.
She shut down for days while clinging to fear.
She held on to prejudice when she would tell you she didn\'t.
To someone else\'s ideas, when she didn\'t trust her own.
To her children when they asked for a blessing to go.
In Holding ON Loosely: Opening My Hands, Lightening My Load, and Seeing Something Else , author Dana Knox Wright tells stories of one who is hardwired to cling.
In the midst of it, we wonder what it would feel like to open our Hands and turn loose of all of it.
We are overly busy helicopter parents, control freaks, perfectionists, intolerants, over-consumers and social media junkies--who worry, fear, laugh less and always want more
