Month one has come to an end and on Tuesday I will head into our second county, Ghana. I am so grateful for this opportunity God has laid before me. This month ministry looked like a lot of things, but it was mostly me learning that I still had a lot of things I needed to surrender to Him. In order for me to grow in my relationship with Him, I need to put both feet in the door and trust in the one person who will never let me down.
Writing a blog has become a little difficult lately. Naturally, I found it easier to do it through a poem.
Enjoy.

Two Feet in the Door
Chains grip tightly to the things we hold most dear
Worldly idols being used as a crutch
Ignoring our breathing suffocating by fear
Where can we go when it all becomes too much?
Past lives surfacing through the cracks
Invading the thoughts, thinking we’re to blame
Our minds fill up and everything turns black
What can we do to fight through this pain?
Surrender.
Stop fighting. Hiding. Resisting.
Actions speak louder then words
Yet, we can never seem to follow through
Lines are crossed and visions become blurred
We are in need of a man who can show us something true
Control is not an easy thing to let go
Something that was never ours from the start
We need to let Him in, for room to grow
Knitting His way through to our heart
Surrender.
Stop fighting. Hiding. Resisting.
No one said life was going to be easy
It’s not often we’re given a clean slate
Giving up your heart doesn’t come freely
How long will you make God wait?
Surrender your all
Live your life as He
Let the chains fall
Become the child of God you were meant to be
…I surrender all…
