When to accept defeat and when to dig in?

Their devotion is remarkable.

 

When to accept defeat and when to dig in?

Surrender is fundamental to spirituality.

Surrender is also intense and difficult.

i remember surrendering to God’s will. If He didn’t want me to become a dad (the thing i came to realize i wanted more than anything in the whole world) than i would move forward without the dream of being a dad.

Is giving up the same as surrender? Or are they the same things, just different looking?

If we lose our ability to walk, and require 24/7 nursing care, and we’ve been blessed with nine decades of life, would it be easy to abandon hope and faith?

The devil’s brilliant plan is working

It’s easy to get things turned upside down.

 

The devil’s brilliant plan is working.

Let the world become so full of hate that people will question God, and begin doubting Him more consistently.

It is in our doubting that the devil gains control – one human being at a time, one thought at a time.

Hope and faith just keep going, and going

Vacation was different this time. Have never been to Sanibel Island as a retiree.

Hoping for many more ‘retiree vacations’.

Having faith that whatever God’s plan is, it will be His will, not mine.

Three different people.

Three different hopes and dreams.

Praying we figure it out. Every last one of us.
