“How sweet it is to trust You, Lord…I’m learning how to trust You more”

Starting over is scary. But here I am…starting over.

I made this blog a few weeks ago, determined to start writing again, every week. Well that was like three weeks ago, and this is the first post I have made since then. I don’t know what happened to all the drive I had a few weeks ago when I recreated my blog, but I have just been unmotivated and uninspired.

I blame school. I changed my major to journalism this semester, and I am super happy in this new major, but it was a hard change. These classes are challenging me in ways that I never thought I would be challenged, and I am very tired by the end of my days. The last thing I want to do after writing all day in class, is to write more when I get home. But I feel like God has me creating this blog for a reason. I want to be a vessel of His love so if that means me writing on this blog, I will find balance in my days to make time for Him to use me here. I am determined to.

I am learning everyday how to trust God more and more. Especially right now, as I am completely starting over. Not only with this blog, but with my schooling as well. It was a leap of faith that I was terrified to take. But, I rest assured, knowing that God isn’t finished with me yet. He has a plan for my future, even if I can’t see it right now. When waiting for God’s righteous plan, don’t lose faith in His goodness.

“You have definitely had your share of unknowns this past year, and at times you wondered how there could be any hope for this. But your ever-Loving God has kept you and He will continue to keep you, no matter the uncertainties you are faced with this season” – Morgan Harper Nichols

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
