"Surrender"
My hands hold safly to my dreams
Clutching tightly not one has fallen
So many years I've shaped each one
Reflecting my heart showing who I am
Now you're asking me to show
What I'm holding oh so tightly
Can't open my hands can't let go
Does it matter?
Should I show you?
Can't you let me go?
Surrender, surrender you whisper gently
You say I will be free
I know but can't you see?
My dreams are me. My dreams are me
You say you have a plan for me
And that you want the best for my life
Told me the world had yet to see
What you can do with one
That's committed to Your calling
I know of course what I should do
That I can't hold these dreams forever
If I give them now to You
Will You take them away forever?
Or can I dream again?
i have been having a hard time with this...Surrendering.
I surrendered my Life to God's will to do missions. To tell people the good news of how Christ died for all people and that the gift is free, all you have to do is ask. But, as sad as it may sound...the past couple of months i've had a hard time with letting go of things that....i know aren't what God wants for my life.
I spent so much time and effort forming MY dreams and building up what I wanted for MY life. of course i wanted to please God with everything...but i never really considered that maybe MY dreams...and wants weren't what God had planned for me. So i've made changes. God has been working in my life in unbelieveable ways. Moving to Conway was probably the best decision i've ever made in my life. This was my first step to listening to God and surrendering to His Will and not my own.
Its amazing to think, that the God of gods, the Creator of the universe, the King of Kings and Lord of all Lords...has a plan for MY life and wants to be a PART of my life. How cool is that?
He wants to hold my hand and guide me through the good times and the bad. And HE wants to be my best friend. Surrendering to God's will...is difficult for us...even though...it should be so easy...it should be a peice of cake! BUt who are YOU to live your life for you...and YOU only when God has given you EVERYTHING. everything YOU have God has given you.He gave you life. He protects you daily. when He doesn't even have to care.
He loves you, me and everyone so much that He sent His only SON to die on the cross so you wont suffer eternal damnation!!
But, we can't even do the one thing He asks us to...and surrender our lives to Him...and offer ourselves to glorify and honor Him. Lay down our dreams at his feet and take on the role as a servant...glorifying the King of Kings. We don't even take into consideration that what God has planned for us...will be FAR better than we could ever dream.
Whether it be who we plan to marry, jobs, life styles, anything that we have planned God has a better plan. And if we just give it all to Him...He will direct is into the right path.
Now i'm not saying this is easy...because...I am my father's daughter obviously...i am the most stubborn person...and it's a hard thing to do. Just giving my dreams to the Lord. With the possibility of never getting back what i took so long to form.
But here I am GOd. This year is completely dedicated to surrendering to you fully...laying down my dreams at your feet. Here i am. Take me. Mold me. Heal me. Anything you want to do. Take my dreams lead me down the path you have planned.
Pray for me. =]
And i will do the same for you!
God Bless.

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
