"In those crucial moments
of pivotal personal history
we must submit ourselves to God
even when all our hopes and fears
may tempt us otherwise.
We must be willing to place all we have -
not just our possessions -
but also our
ambition
and pride
and stubbornness
and vanity
on the alter of God,
kneel their in silent submission
and
willingly walk away."

Dang-it! I hate that. I don't WANT to submit. (I'm stamping my foot dramatically:). I do believe it in theory, but it's the PRACTICAL APPLICATION that's tripping me up... -Jenn
