Recently our family was visiting family out of town and when we had gotten into our van, I noticed a lightning bug on my window. Thinking it was pretty cool, I had my kids take a look at it and then we pulled out of the driveway and started home. As we started driving down the road, the little guy decided to hang on for the ride. About a mile into our trip, the speed I was able to drive dramatically went up and our lightning friend clung on. His antennas were flapping hard, and his body slowly started to turn sideways. Three miles into our trip, I started down the highway, and I was very curious as to what speed it would take for him to let go. I soon learned there was no speed at which our little critter would choose to let go, so eventually I rolled down the window to force his hands free 5 miles into our trip. I did a little math on the ratio of how far that little guy traveled, and it would be the equivalent of us going from Des Moines to Dallas.
I wonder, are you holding onto anything that is pulling you away from your home? I’m wondering if there is something you just can’t seem to let go of and the longer you hold onto it the harder it is for you to let go of it. It is shaking up your entire life, and you can’t get free.
Just wondering.
