February 5, 2013 was a day that will separate my life into the "before" and "after." The fifth of February - the day I learned that the word "cancer" would forever be a part of my life. It is my desire to live with Jesus Christ in the forefront of my life, and cancer in the background. The words in this blog are therapeutic to me. I hope that they will be uplifting to you.

TAKE ME OVER

"Jesus, Jesus, take me over now,
I surrender.
Everything I have, I lay it down,
all of me."  

Father, God, isn't that the center of the matter?
Doesn't that cover it all?

Jesus, I surrender to you my thoughts, my words, my heart, my mind, my relationships with family and others, my finances, my business, my health, my plasma, my red blood cells, my anemia, my music, my teaching, my stewardship, my witness.  Have I left out anything?  I lay it down.........All of me.  

You are my solid rock.  You are my provider.  You are my comforter. You are my creator.  You are my healer.  You are worthy of my praise.  You are worthy of my thankfulness.  You are faithful, you never change.  You have made many promises to me:  Promises to prosper me and not to harm me.  

I surrender all.  I am yours.  Use me.  Envelope me with your spirit. Take all of me.

"All to Jesus I surrender, 
all to him I freely give.
I will ever love and trust him,
in his presence daily live."


"So then, my friends, because of God's great mercy to us,
 I appeal to you.
Offer yourselves to God,
 dedicated to his service and pleasing to him. 
This is the true worship that you should offer.  
Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world,
but let God transform you inwardly by a
complete change of your mind.
Then you will be able to know the will of God,
what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect."
Romans 12:  1 - 2
