Surrender

The other day I watched a great sermon that talked about those unexplained crazy moments in life we all experience. When it seems like everything is happening all at once, and we’re struggling to make sense of it all. Well, as I sat there, I realized yup this preacher is talking right to me! Yes I’m Christian and I know to seek the Lord and to rely on God as my source, and yet I still foolishly try to do too much in my own strength, using my own logic. 


One of my favorite subjects in school was Science. I love Science. I am a problem solver who enjoys analyzing, testing, and finding solutions. I was fascinated in Biology class, and don’t even get me grinning from ear to ear talking about Psychology. With my brain that is always working over time examining, and reexamining every situation from multiple angles; I can get overwhelmed with it all. Why? Well, when you’re trying to take on a roll you were never meant to be in, you find out just why… you can’t handle it!


That’s where I found myself in that moment, realizing I had put so much pressure on myself to figure it all out, but you know what I realized? I don’t have to figure it all out! That’s not my job position and that’s not my purpose. 


I am learning over and over again to let God be God in my life. Trying to figure it all out has weighed me down far too long and has me far too tired to function and ya girl is ready for rest, relaxation, peace, joy, and pure fun!


So what steps am I taking for this? My first step was telling God I surrender! I surrender my will for His, my plans for His, my logic for his ways, and I recognize and remember He is God and not in need of my help. Right now I’m in the next steps of simply seeking the Lord and being present in my life. Taking all the little moments and soaking them in. Not living too far in the past, and not living too far in the future that I can’t enjoy my right now life! 


I’m taking time to pause and allow God to fill the gaps and the needs in my heart and mind. I’m enjoying getting to know more about Him and giving Him more of me. Something I keep thinking on though is, just how much God loves us and how much He cares. He really has looked out for me in so many ways and always amazes me with something I never saw coming, and I will be in position to do what He asks of me. If I need to sit, if I need to get up and go….I’ll be ready!


Remember, surrender is never about giving up, it’s about giving love, time, and focus to the One who loves you, and gaining so much more of Him in return. Today surrender it all to God. Lay it all at His feet, and leave it all there. He’s strong enough to handle it all and knows exactly what you need, before you ask or think…God’s got it, and God’s got you!
