Monday Mindset: Join us for SURRENDER: The Summit - June 8-10th

Thank You, Father, for the day.

Monday Mindset — together – in Gratitude, choosing a powerful beginning for each week!

Remember: SURRENDER is a PRACTICE.

It is something we return to — again and again — throughout the day.

So often, worry sneaks in quietly…, in our thoughts and perceptions. We literally create feelings and emotions that can lead us astray — away from God — away from leaning into Him, His love, His strength, His help…

Each PRESENT MOMENT is the perfect moment to SURRENDER ALL to Him — one step at a time — with Him.

Imagine if we carried all of our thoughts in bags, boxes, containers…, and we had to hold them in our arms?
Each of us can only physically carry so much, right?
— When our hands and arms are full, we cannot hold onto the railing for protection up/down steps… we cannot help anyone else…, AND we are worried and fearful that we may fall. Right!?
This is true for each of us mentally as well. We can only carry so much, right?
— When our minds are completely full of heavy loads, swirling thoughts and emotions…, we cannot protect ourselves from making bad decisions, from reacting poorly…, we cannot help ANYONE ELSE!

When we CHOOSE to SURRENDER (put down the load), give ‘it’ to Him, we are FREEING UP our mental space, in order to be in the PRESENT MOMENT with Him. We are then in a clear mental space, with Him guiding us into the next right step — with peace, calm and trust.
THEN, we are not only taking care of ourselves, honoring Him, we are able to help others as well.

YOU ARE INVITED! Join me for SURRENDER: The Summit — a space for ALL to gather, to listen to stories of SURRENDER. Come to reflect, comment, ask questions…, about the practice of SURRENDER. Please invite ANY and ALL that may be supported in this powerful way.
