Surrender

Here's another for my "straight from my heart" series. Journaling reads: "I remember a story I heard when I was a little girl. It was about another little girl who prayed every night that God would make her brown eyes blue. She wanted
blue eyes so badly. Everyone in her
adopted family had blue eyes and blond hair. Everyone but her. So she prayed and begged God everyday to turn her eyes blue. But He never did. When the little girl grew up she became a missionary to a country where it was illegal for people to come and share the Christian faith. One day she was almost caught, but when they looked at her all they saw was her dark hair and brown eyes. So they mistook her for one of them and her life was spared. I’m not sure if this story is true or not, and I’ve probably forgotten some details, but I have never forgotten the story. Now, I’ve never wished for blond hair or brown eyes," (although I have wished to be prettier) "but there have been a lot of things I’ve prayed for that haven’t happened. There’s always a temptation to question God or be discontent with life. I struggle with accepting reality for what it is instead of holding on to what I wish it could be. But I try to remember that I can’t see the whole picture. I can’t see why things happen. Sometimes it feels like He isn’t listening, but I know He is. His ways are not my ways. His thoughts are above my own. So, I will keep bringing my desires to his feet. I will share my heart, but in the end, I will try to trust his judgement and embrace his will above my own. He’s God and I’m not. So, I surrender."
