LEGGO

Sometime after it meant drop the waffles, “leggo” (#LEGGO) became a term used by NBA players, Diddy Dirty Money (@iamdiddy), Biebs (@justinbieber), and me to get pumped up (in layman’s terms: “Let’s go!”).

This has been the theme of my last couple of weeks: LEGGGGOOOOO!

My tendency and inclination is to think of solutions.  I want practical steps that I can take to walk out of difficult and confusing situations I’m in.  I want to think and think and think and plan how I can start relying on Christ instead of the other things I put my hope in.  And sometimes practicality is good.  Sometimes an action plan, boundaries, etc. are necessary.  But I got to the place the other day where I realized I just need to go.  Stop planning to plan how I’m going to start walking more in step with Spirit and just start doing it…not just me, but us—me and the Holy Spirit inside of me.

And so for the past few days when I have felt my heart longing for material things, when I have felt myself getting upset because this person didn’t give me the attention I wanted, in those moments I mentally decide, LEGGO!  What I find is that I don’t need to muster up the energy, I need only to orient my heart in such a way that God knows I want to be with Him in that moment, and He is faithful.  It is not that everything makes more sense, just that everything feels more right.
