Surrender all.....
we have both just recently just read through a book i would recommend all to read....it called total abandon, the story of Gary and Bonnie witherall, they were missionaries with om in Lebanon, 4 years ago Bonnie was gunned down in the medical office were she served.
is what you're living for worth dying for? a question that Gary poses in this book, a question that has really stirred me, how hard is it to honestly say yes to that question, or do i struggle on my own on this one? is the human instinct we have ingrained in us to survive a tool used against us in our ability to completely step out for Christ. If we believe whole heartily that we have no reason to fear death and that we posses hope that can change those around us then why are we so scared to take steps of sacrifice....
"God doesn't call us to a certain place (job, ministry) but he calls us to himself"
any insight on how to completely be able to say yes Lord whatever it is you want, not my will but your be done?

...i notice noone is responding....
maybe the difficulty is in thinking it is a "onetime huge decision"....for me, i have to make the small steps of commitments of faith everyday and trust that when i have to make that BIG decision my faith will be rooted deeply enough to carry me through.....mom k
