I’m still trying to process everything that I’m
feeling. The retreat challenged me to a
deeper place in my walk. I know that He
is calling me to lead and to share my story.
I was reminded that He doesn’t call the qualified, but He qualifies the
called.
I truly want to surrender all to God. I say this so easily, and for the moment I
mean it. But for some reason I keep
holding back. I’m afraid to be
transparent. The truth is ugly and I don’t
want people to see. I fail to be honest
with those around me. I know that
sharing my story will impact others. I
know that the truth sets us free, but ironically the truth can hinder my
freedom.
I wonder how Eve felt after eating of the fruit. She was created for a beautiful life in the
garden, but lost that life in the blink of an eye. I wonder how she felt taking those first steps
outside of the garden. Was she full of guilt?
Was she afraid? Did she miss the
simplicity and happiness of life in the garden?
That’s where I am today.
Daddy in Heaven,
Daddy in Heaven,
Here my prayer. Lead
me. I will follow you wherever you
lead. I surrender all and am letting
go. I lay down my fears, my pride. Use me as you will. There is still value in me - because you are good, you are love, you are
life, and you are hope, and you are in me.
You are the reason I live. I'm running to your arms.
Love, Hope
