I hope everyone had a very blessed Thanksgiving. Ours was nice, and I tried to focus on how fortunate I am to have my hubby and kiddos… but it was once again a very real reminder of how difficult life is at this time.
I’ve been so anxiety ridden lately, I was trying to think of something to help me find some peace… many words have come to mind… Faith, Patience, Hope… but the thing that struck me today sums up all of these words and more… Surrender! I think this is what God has wanted from me all along… now I need to listen and take action.
It’s funny that just by coming to this conclusion, I already feel better…
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33

i agree
I also love that word “Surrender”
It is so counter-intuitive to what we are inclined to do, think, and act, Yet it is so freeing.
I have discovered that the act of surrendering is actually active, not passive. It’s a paradox!
Blessings to you in your Surrender.
Surrender: to yield to the power, control, or possession of another; to give up completely or agree to forgo especially in favor of another.
It’s not easy to take our hands off the steering wheel of our lives sometimes. God is in control but we love to help Him help us to reach what we feel should be our destination.
All sounds so complicated when you really start to think about it…and makes surrender sound like one sweet spot to be in.
God bless you my friend as you completely let go & let GOD!
