I have an overwhelming desire to open myself up for God to use my life for His will.

Sometimes I feel so inadequate to fulfill the calling Father has placed on my life.

But it is in my weakness that He is made strong. I want to submit myself fully and in all things to His Holy Will. And if I must be a complete fool to do so, then so be it!!!

1 Corinthians 1:27
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

There are some areas in life that seem to come so easily to me to submit myself under His will. Many people are even amazed at times because they tend to be what people perceive as the “big things”. But why, when it comes to everyday things, do I tend to want to do things my way? Who do I presume to know better then He?

What is funny (in a not so funny way) is that this attitude is a peeve of mine. My oldest son is a huge help to me, our family and our ministry. Every so often he will determine that the instructions or boundaries I gave him within a particular responsibility are not as efficient as his way. Doesn’t he realize that the instruction I gave him was for his own good? Doesn’t he know that the task is a little more difficult this way but it will bless him abundantly in the long run? How many times Father must have said that to me, but I didn’t want to hear it. It doesn’t matter that it was in yet another area He is refining me in and that I’ve been through this for what seems to be a million times already.

Father, refine away!!!! I submit fully to You in every way. If I dare try my own way, please knock some sense into me!

Isaiah 55:9
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts .
