Short Stories 2.0 – Full Surrender

Take home statement weeks five and six (our class started a week late and we have to catch up with the others):

Week five: the heart matters.

Week six: full surrender is wanting and choosing God’s will every day.

Our only responsibility is to trust God. The flowers in the picture manifested out of my trust in a Word from God that He gave me on September 20th, the day I purchased the mum.

That day I told my group sista that I planned to order flowers for my work anniversary: I did last year. She told me to send her my address because she’d send me flowers. Later that day I was telling the Lord that I would not send her my address because I went as support for her grand opening. He told me that I didn’t have to give her my address because she would give me flowers anyway. The date I told her I would be off work to celebrate my anniversary came and went and I didn’t receive the flowers from her.

I didn’t complain and tell God, “see, I could have had flowers if I’d ordered them for myself.” I continued to trust the Word that God gave me: that she would GIVE me flowers.

Tonight – my actual work anniversary date, when she arrived for class, she GAVE me the flowers.
