And I Surrender
All to You, all to You
I'm giving You my heart
All that is within
I lay it all down
For the sake of You my King
I'm giving You my dreams laying down my rights
I'm giving up my pride
For the promise of new life
And I Surrender
All to You, all to You
Over all the earth
You reign on high
Every mountain stream
Every sunset sky
But my one request
Lord my only aim
Is that You’d reign in me again
Lord reign in me
Reign in Your power
Over all my dreams
In my darkest hour
You are the Lord
Of all I am
So won’t You reign in me again
Here we are, back to cold weather again. The wind was so bad this weekend it blew a section of tin off our barn on Saturday night and another piece came off on Sunday. It blew in one of the big barn doors. In fact, it pushed it through a beam that was leaning against it on the inside of the barn. And on Saturday night, it lifted a 7 foot long 3x3 bean up and dropped it about 10-15 feet away. I found it laying in the driveway a few feet from the front of my husband's car!
A lot has happened since my last few posts.
I found a buyer for all four of our remaining goats. I was happy they could all go to the same place, and that it was local. I had calls from several counties, and from people wanting just one or two of the goats. It seems so odd to have a completely empty barn. We have had some kind of ag animals for at least as long as we live on our farm...14 years!
Our oldest daughter is still home. She dropped out of college at the end of her freshman year. She must now find a job so she can pay entrance fees into HACC, and buy a car. If I were her, my priority list would be
1)get as job that pays REALLY WELL asap
2)blow most of my first paycheck
3)register for as many HACC online classes as I can afford and get started on them asap
4)save as much money as possible to A)pay for my cell phone bill B)pay for my share of living expenses while I'm living at home C)buy a car to get to next semester classes
5)practice driving
6)get drivers license
7)look for grant/scholarship money for next semester
Any suggestions for getting her inspired to start on a priority list like this? hahahahah
I have been so low in my spiritual life that I felt I wasn't worthy for redemption. But as you can tell by the lyrics, I'm so happy to have peace back in my life. Thank any of you who have prayed for me.
All to Jesus I surrender
All to him I freely give
I will ever love and trust him
In his presence daily live
All to Jesus I surrender
Lord, I give myself to thee
Fill me with thy love and power
Let thy blessing fall on me.
To any of you who have been wondering about my surrender...I hope this makes things more clear!
Blessings to all, including everyone back at Ship. It won't be the same without hearing about all of you.  |
