Genesis 19-21

"Letting Go of the Familiar"  Genesis 19:1-26

1.  What does the passage in today's reading teach you about letting go in order to move forward?

If you look back when you are suppose to be going forward there could be consequences- even very severe consequences- like turning into a pillar of salt.

2.  Why is it so difficult sometimes to let go of the past?

It is difficult sometimes to let go of the past because the past is familiar and comfortable.  We know what to expect from the past.  

3.  What is one thing you think God may be asking you to let go of right now?  Spend some time praying that God will help you let go of whatever is hindering you from moving forward in your spiritual journey.

I don't know but I am going to suspect God is asking me to let go of any expectations I ever had of being a "stay at home mom" and/or "homemaking wife".  I pray and think about this constantly.

Dear God,   Help me to let go of my home and family if I am holding on to them too tight.  I have no idea where you want me to be- spiritually, academically, physically, or anything.  You don't talk much and the Word seems farther and farther removed from my situations.  Please help me be kind to my husband, I feel like everything I say and do is just the dumbest thing ever.  Amen
