I Surrender These..


Image used via Google

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14

In walking my journey I am learning to write lists. Each list holds different themes, but all are significant. In writing these lists I am learning things about myself I'd never known. Also, it is drawing me nearer to where I need to be on my journey. For this I am grateful. In my "21 Days of Simplicity" journey one of the key things I learned was to "let go". So tonight I sit at my desk and "let go" of some things and feelings I no longer need to hold on to.

I Surrender..
-My heart, mind, body and soul to The Father above
-My old way of thinking
-Past hurt and shame
-All of my fears
-Negative self talk
-The act of being too busy
-The things in which I can not change
-The fear of loneliness
-Anger and judgment

I Embrace:
-Sweet Mercy
-Love and Light
-Joy and peace
-Love
-My inner and outer beauty
-My flaws
-Strength and Confidence

As you go through your weekend I pray that you will find it in your hearts to "surrender" all the negatives and "embrace" each and every positive. Walking a spiritual walk is in no way easy, but I am determined to succeed in this. I wish you all joyful days and peaceful nights throughout your weekend!

On Monday I will post Show#2 for I Choose Bliss. I hope you will visit and tune in!!

Peace & Blessings

    'To "surrender" all the negatives and "embrace" each and every positive'.
    A truly beautiful message Tabitha.

    Yes, this is the way -- to let go of negative and to grab hold of positive, or as you said "embrace". For every "thing" we remove, we need to embrace something else. Replacing darkness with light. ♥

    You are truly an inspiration. I love your lists. Yes.. they might be difficult to do at first, but it becomes easier as you let go and learn how much better you feel!

    Yes, Tabitha, I have also been thinking about surrender. Surrendering my WHOLE heart, not leaving out any part, surrendering all of me to a Master who knows better what I need.

    Your posts always break the complicated down. The simplicity breaks through the clutter of my heart and mind. You are such a blessing! Your message is like the magnifying glass that allows me to find the splinter causing the pain.

    Be blessed:)
