Today was another one of those days when God reminded me very clearly how blessed I am to get to serve with such amazing people. I've worked at enough churches over the years to know that what our team shares is unusual and special. We laughed together, worshipped together, prayed together. One person took a risk and spoke into my life today by sharing what God brought to their mind while they prayed over me. It's stuck with me all day and literally feels like a 'hug' from God. I'm so thankful for these special people.
While we were singing, R - our worship leader - encouraged us to confess things that we had trouble surrendering. I had to confess my "will" again - because let's face it: at the end of the day, I want what I want. I want my children to be happy and get what they need (and want). I want things to go smoothly with no conflict. I want to be healthy and not have to worry about finances. And yet, as I surrender my 'will' to God - those things cease to be an issue. I know that His will is perfect. So whatever He chooses for my children or my relationships or my health or my finances, He chooses it to bring me closer to Him.
So I'm grateful for the reminder to surrender.
