I have always been a writer. I had a blog in high school, and through the beginning of my college career. But after a lot of change in my life in the past few semesters, I wanted a new start. This semester I have really been learning how to surrender myself to God. It is not an easy thing to do, but it is something that I have been working on. I want to surrender not only myself, but the plans that I have made, the pains that I have felt, and the relationshis that need mending.

Last night I was sitting on the couch with my roommates, and I was talking about wanting to start over. They were supportive, and encourgaed me to take that step and restart. Once I decided I was going to restart, I realized I needed a name for my new blog. Something that resonated with the season that I am walking through. I wanted something to do with surrender. I asked Hannah, and 10 seconds later she shouted: “The Journey To A Great Surrender” and “You better give me credit”. I was shocked at how fast that came to her mind, and I loved it so here I am, and thank you Hannah.

Learning. Surrendering. Trusting.

Throw yourself upon God’s faithfulness as you do upon your bed, bringing all your weariness to His dear rest C.H. Spurgeon
