Turning it over for me means giving it to God. I have always heard if I am worrying about something turn it over to God. If it is too small to turn over to God then stop worrying. I discovered turning it over is harder than it sounds.
In human form I have this committee in my head that talks even when I am trying to do something else. It amazes me that I can read a paragraph word for word and not remember a word I read. This is because my multi tasking mind has left the present moment and is lost somewhere in conversation land; either in the past or the future. I am discussing things that have already been said or things that might happen in the future if I live that long. What A WASTE OF TIME.
God is in the here and now. So here are some of the ways I turn things over. I write down the problem and persons that are causing me distress and then light a match to the paper. It symbolizes me turning it over to God. Letting it go up in ashes. I have also tied it to a helium balloon and let it float up into the heavens. Does that make me forget about the problem? No, it still pops into my head. This is where my spiritual tools kick in. Now I just say, “Sorry God I took it back for a moment I am turning it back over to you…” Then I get to go about my day until it pops in my head again. So I just repeat. HA-LELUIA
I no longer have to let the person, place or thing ruin my day. I don’t want to stray out of the moment and miss the opportunities God has put in my path. God is only in the moment so when I check out I am living from ego. (edging God Out)
The bad news is this turning it over stuff can be hard. The good news is, it is only as hard as I make it. How much pain or anger do I want to be in today? Oh, that’s right. I have a choice. I think I will choose peace and love. God has that amazing way of turning darkness to light which changes fear into love. Unconditional love is the only way to peace. I choose love in all my situations today. No matter what the behavior of the other person might be.
That spiritual toolbox of mine is just loaded with great tools.
