Surrender
A lot of times, I wonder why this lesson is so hard for me to learn. It's the lesson of surrender. I surrendered to the state of Texas. I surrendered to God. However, I'm still finding things I've got to surrender.
Most days, I get up, do what I have to do to get through these days, and everything optimistic. Every now and then, a wrench is thrown in my day, leaving it all out of whack. It's the wrenches I struggle to surrender.
I'm a fixer. I like to try to deal with my own problems. "Got to be a way to pull the wrench out," I think to myself. Yet if God allowed the wrench, shouldn't I be willing to surrender and accept the wrench being right where it is? You'd think I would be able to, but it's not easy.
Acceptance isn't always easy. Why is this happening to me at this particular time in my life? What can I learn from this? So I'm learning that to surrender I must first be willing to accept the wrench coming in my life.
I have learned to surrender my thoughts that are negative to succumb to positive ones. I know that when we accept things and surrender to God's will. I may not like my wrenches, I just got to surrender to the will of God, as well as accept that's what God will for me at the time.
