Such a tiny offering
Compared to Calvary
Nevertheless, we lay it at Your feet.

Sacrifice
I've sensed lately that God wants me to give Him something and I've been quite resistant. I thought, "I gave you my dream for a career, I mean, what else do I have to do?" As soon as I completed that thought, the answer immediately came. We are to take up our cross daily and the cross means death, sacrifice, giving it all. Paul says we are to be living sacrifices. A sacrifice isn't really a sacrifice if it doesn't cost us anything and living implies that it just might hurt! But God doesn't ever harm us...though some things He allows might hurt. So daily I must consciously lay down my dream at His feet and say "it's Yours" knowing that I may never see it fulfilled in this lifetime. The grief this causes cannot be conveyed, but I'm really trying to be obedient. Mercy Me's song, "God With Us," says it better than I can:

I hear ya, more than you know.
I love you. There is more to say, but I can't put it here.
I love you for allowing Jadyn to be your career for now. For every time, there is a season. It will come. D.
I understand and hurt with you. I don't think I'll ever get my wings, but it's not in my hands. Thankfully, the one who has it in his hands is infinitely better at managing our lives than we are. While there are times that I think he is cruel and uncaring, I know the truth is that he loves us so much that he would give up his life for us. The fact that he already has is what lets me know I can trust him.
