Handle Bars


Worship begins, so much has been weighing on me this week, I am easily distracted. As I enter into His presence, the Lord takes me on a trip. I am on this old fashioned bike. 

I am heading down a long hill, gripping the handle bars and as I pick up speed the thought comes to me to let go of the handle bars. Just let go. 

Gasp!.. I let go... Oh wow, a little nervous but this feels good. A little steadier...as I put my hands straight out.. I'm flying,.. at least it feels that way. The breeze is blowing across my face as I lean my head back. I've let go...this feels so good...the anxiety disappears and the laughter comes in. Fearless..I can't believe I'm doing this! I love it...yes this feels like freedom. For those few moments, I had completely let go of everything weighing me down. 





As I opened my eyes I am standing in the middle of these seats, with arms stretched wide open. Others immersed in the presence of God. I needed a reminder of how it felt to just let go and trust God with the outcome.
