Submission

Sorry for the late post, again, this is what happens when you only have one computer in your household:/

I will say right off the bat that this is probably one of the areas I struggle with the most, not only in my relationship with God but also in areas like when it comes to letting go of what I think and listening to what my parents have to say. So what stood out to me the most is what Stef said, "Victory comes not in the form of dominate followers, but sacrificial ones." That's totally something for me to hold on too because I know I tend to have a stronger personality in the sense that I tend to be more matter of fact about things, and sometimes I find myself pushing that on others, my pride gets in the way. In my relationship with God it becomes an issue because I find myself struggling to let go of things because it's hard for me to see what's going to happen later on down the road or because I don't think letting go is what's best for me. But, God calls me to submit to him because it's not about what I think is best for me, it's about what he knows is best for me, and it's not about knowing what's going to come in the future, but trusting here and now that God is going to take care of me and he's called me to live a life where I surrender myself for his plans.

While I was reading the devotion I was reminded of something someone from my church had said around Easter and I felt it fit well with this topic. They said, "For me Easter is a reminder that winning doesn't always look like it. It's a hard lesson." Even though the actual day we celebrate Easter is passed, this still holds true to everyday of the year.

Well, I don't know about you guys but all this warm weather is getting me so pumped because I know Summer is quickly approaching, I can't wait!
