Striving vs Surrendering

Posted Thu, 02/16/2012 - 1:00am by Amber Haugen

I don't know about you, but I struggle with perfectionism! I often feel like I need to be doing more as a mom, teacher, leader, wife, christian, fill-in-the-blank! Yet, God has wired my heart to truly enjoy specific areas and activities of this world and I must allow Him to be glorified in them. However, this may require that I surrender things, expectations and pre-conceived ideas about what it means to be a Christian; choosing instead to let God use me in any way.
