Over last night and tonight God has given me an insight. Until now I have never really thought about the connection between faith and surrendering. I am sure I could write a whole sermon on it but I want you to reflect upon this one for yourself and see what He says:
Faith is the surrendering of our future, including our goals, plans, and ambitions. To trust and hope for God's will and God's plan in these will transform feelings of despair and fear concerning our future to a feeling of peace.
Read it a few times, because I think there is a lot there. :)
About Me
- Joshua
- In the summer of 2005, I went to a ministry conference called SEMP. That week totally changed my life and opened my eyes. Since then, I've been striving to live a life that would bring glory to God. I realized that I need to give God everything in my life including my time, friends, family, body, money, and my heart. Life hasn't been a perfect ride since that day, but it was one of the best changes that God has ever made in my life. I owe everything to Him. Without Jesus Christ, I would be lost and without a hope or a purpose in life. I am so thankful that He stepped into the world He created to live a perfect life and die a sinner's death in my place. His resurection gives me the amazing chance to have a deep and intimate relationship with Him. If I could say there is one thing I want more than anything in life...I would say that I want a deep and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. The journey to get there is my mountain path.

Hey Josh, it's another Josh.. ha! Well
'The Mountain Path' - I gotta admit.. I love the blog name. It seems you have some real talent kid and you seem, at least through your writings, you're totally on fire for God!
The song you posted 'When He Was On The Cross, I Was On His Mind" - LOVES IT! They still sing this song in my home church - good stuff.
Anyways, I came across your blog by my blog actually. I viewed my profile, clicked on 'RiWM' book, that lead to the 'Hillsdale Baptist Church Youth' blog and that led me here... but yeah.
Peace
Prayers and keep up the good work!
