Note from Lisa: I’m delighted to be able to share this post from my daughter Hannah, a true Frontline Teen. I think you will appreciate her passion for “living life to the fullest” which, as it happens, is the title of her blog.

If you have ever watched Finding Nemo, you probably remember this part. One of my favorite clips is when Dory tells Marlin that it is time to let go.
Recently God has been speaking this same word to me. It is time to let go of the things in your life you continue to cling to. It’s time to let go of fear, anger, rebellion, pride, offense, selfishness or anything else that is not advancing the Kingdom of God. But the difference between Dory and God? God does know what is going to happen, and if you let Him take control of your life, His “pruning” will only be for your good.
Today let go of things that continue to cling to you. Make a decision to give these things to God, and don’t take them back. Let go of the sin in your life, or even the things that aren’t necessarily wrong, yet they distract you from your full purpose. Let go of the past, let go of the future!! Surrender your everything to God!! Give Him your life….and let go of everything else!!!
It’s Time To Let Go!!!
