If you feel like there’s something you can’t surrender and you know you need to, this episode is for you. Tara’s medical journey felt too big and impossible to surrender, but recently she’s experiencing new release and peace. Sometimes surrender takes time.

Does something come to your mind that feels or felt impossible for you to let go of? Or something you’ve failed at over and over even though you’ve “surrendered”? For all of us there are big things that might come to mind, but God asks us to surrender all! It doesn’t seem fun, but when we remember He made us and knows us better than we know ourselves and really wants us to have fullness of peace and joy it makes it seem a bit better. Still though, even as we learn that it really truly is better, we still don’t choose it all the time or  feel like we even can. We need his Spirit to do it. 

Human nature is to fight for our right to control, and often we think that is the way to success. But, surrender to God is something entirely different and is the way to the '"more" we are promised in Jesus.  Tara and I talk about surrender in both big and little things. 

Surrender really isn't about defeat; it's a balance between personal freedom and the embrace of trust in God through uncertainty.
