Surrender...v.1. to give up possession of. 2. to abandon or relinquish control. 3. to give oneself up, esp. as a prisioner.

Ok, it's been a really busy week. We have been getting ready to do a container for Guatuamala that has been a long time in the making. It required long hours of packing boxes, palletizing, and moving equipment. We have not been home before 7 p.m. all this week.

My eating has been ok but not great.

No formal exercising this week but many hours of strength training lifting and moving equipment.

I surrender.....not in terms of quitting but in terms of trying to do this without supernatural help. I certainly have tried to be in total control of my eating only to fail miserably. So I'm surrendering the control to God as he is able to do more than I ever dare to ask or imagine. (Ephesians 3:20).

Surrender is not a one time thing; it is an ongoing process. The Lord is constantly showing me new areas in which I hold back from His control. I have been surrendering this area over to God every morning and some times moment by moment. It's very humbling to know that this area of my life is so far out of control.

The Psalmist said it best, "My Sin is ever before me!"

I appreciate all of you for your encouragement, your victories encourage me, your struggles strengthen me, your words inspire me and seeing "less of you" gives me hope .

Bless you!
