I thought of something while at work today. The story is how to catch a monkey. The basic idea is you put a piece of fruit in a jar and the monkey will reach in, grab the fruit but then his fist is too big to get through the hole. He could be free if he let go of the fruits, but he will not (at least according to stories. I have no idea if this is true or not). I feel like I am experiencing that this week. Except it's not even something I want. I keep clutching worry. We're in the process of buying and looking for a house, and it can really overwhelm me. I realized today that I keep grabbing this worry, thinking I need it, but all it's doing is holding me back. I need to release that worry to God and let Him take care of it. Sometimes I catch myself clutching worry, letting it go and then minutes later grabbing it again. What is your 'piece of fruit'?
