This week at my school is seek week, and our theme this semester is "Surrender." The speakers have been challenging us to think about what we need to surrender to the Lord, and to do it.
Monday night I was at a prayer night and I thought a lot about what it was that I needed to surrender to Christ. I think for me its my pride, and my time. Even though nothing they said this week was "new" to me, it was a great reminder of how I should live my life as a Christian surrendered to God's will and plan for my life.
David and Daniel (the speakers) used the book of Jonah to talk about this idea of surrender. Jonah was a man who was saying one thing, "I fear the Lord," but his actions showed something completely different. This is something I thought about all week. I claim to be a follower of Christ, but am I truly following after Him? Circumstances cannot dictate whether or not we submit and surrender to God, its something we must choose to do regardless of our circumstances. Of course we all know it is easier to follow Christ when things in our life are dandy, but its another thing to trust Him in the hard times. I am so excited that God is showing me how to surrender my life COMPLETELY to Him, in EVERY circumstances.
Man, I love Seek Week.

Family Time
I am so thankful for my family and the blessing that they are in my life. Being apart from my family has definitely made me realize how much i love them and appreciate their influence in my life.
