So I did what I said. I let "it" go by placing it at the foot of the cross. I left my sword at home so I wouldn't be tempted to fight. He was handling it.
Stillness. Peace. Rest.
Against my nature. No analyzing. No introspection. No planning. No brainstorming. Just literally being. I set my chair on the sand and soaked up the awesomeness and beauty of my surroundings, the companionship of AJ and not much else.
It was perfect....
Irritations in the present become huge when the junk of the past is connected to it. No need to look back, reclaim the baggage that's already been dealt with (before the Lord and myself) in the past, gather it around my feet in the present, and pick through it again. It takes my eyes off the preciousness of what's around me. As I've healed, that process has improved from being ongoing, to lasting several weeks, to lasting a couple of weeks, to lasting a day or two and this time, He had me let it go! He allowed me to be in the moment and not the past.
The past allows irritations to diminish and overshadow the beauty of today. Stay in the moment. Enjoy the moment. There is so much to celebrate here and now!
