Part of complete surrender is letting everything go... I thought when I blogged about ultimate surrender a day or two ago that I had surrendered....then I had a wake up call!
The past couple of days have been a struggle to say the least. If I had truly surrendered would it still be such an issue? I think I had given God my head... my thoughts but not my heart and definitely not everything that was within.
As I was talking with a dear friend, I commented that I just wanted what was normal and easy. She stated... 'you were not meant to take the easy road'... to which I responded 'off roading is a lot more fun'!
So with all that said... I am going off-roading into the next chapter of my life with the Lord as my driver.
I am leaving my dreams in the dust behind us and giving up my right to having any control while off roading. (God is NOT my co-pilot... and he does not need me to be a back seat driver!)
I am giving up my pride and what direction I think is best. When God opens a path I will ride down it and when one closes... I will do an about face and go off in a other direction.
I have made my list of everything that I have been holding near and dear and I am surrendering them to the foot of the cross. (I guess the alternative would be to have them snatched out of your hand much like Job did.]
Anybody up for joining me on this off roading adventure into the great unknown? I have the best, most talented driver that anyone could ask for!
