SABRINA Columnist Ann Landers once said, ASome people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.” Letting go is hard. Many times it is letting go of dreams, of jobs, or of relationships. I believe it is particularly hard to let go as a parent. When you become a parent, you are required to be all in, all there, all the time. You love unconditionally, be totally present 24/7, if required, - and then just like that, you are expected to let go - and be happy about it. They say it is the cycle of life, so to speak. Whether we are letting go of a child, a spouse, relationship, job, it can be heart-wrenching. To be in control is in our DNA. It is in these times we realize we are NOT in control. If today finds you in a season where you feel out of control, hear these words in 2 Corinthians 12:9: AMy grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Remember, for everything that may be out of your control on this day, there is a constant - that constant is God - A God who is always there.
