That is it! That is the Number 1 learning from the last 2.5 weeks. I've known that most (or all) of my life, but the last 2.5 weeks have been an intensive crash course in this area. There were
(and still are) so many things I want to do - so many things I want to accomplish, so much life I want to live, so many dreams I want to see come true, etc., and none of that is bad in and of itself. Form me, the challenge comes in the form of a question... "Are you going to surrender all of your ambitions, hopes and plans to me, Brent?"
Here's the song I was listening to when I had the A-ha moment:
Robin Mark
encourages Brent Long to Surrender!
You may want to listen in as well. You may struggle in the same area. You my think surrender is for cowards. You may be believing a lie. You may be able to relax. You may find
peace.
I can't honestly say that I found peace, but I can say that peace found me (again), and the last 2.5 weeks have reminded me from where all of that peace comes... and Who brings it to me in
bucketloads!
Yes, there will be additional struggles and tensions and learnings. Yes, I will need to practice surrender to see improvement in this area. No, I am not giving up on my ambitions,
hopes and plans... I'm just surrendering them into very capable hands!
