Broken Surrender Cry



I wonder if I will ever learn?  Learn to surrender before being broken.  

Broken surrender seems to be the only way to reach the cry of my heart.  The cry of, "I'm done.  I quit.  You take over." 

It's more feeling deep within my heart then a prayer from my mouth.  Words fall short.  

Working harder or running away isn't working.  

Anxious activity is like boxing the air.

Distraction, avoidance and procrastination certainly doesn't help.

Fighting?  For a while, until the adrenalin wears out.

Pumping up faith like we used to do with my Grandma's well pump leaves me exhausted.

Nope.

A cry of surrender.

I need the great physician to place his healing hand on my brokenness as I've been trying to heal and fix it on my own.

This time the symptoms revolve around money and my lack of handling it well.  The point of the pain I don't want to face.

However, the symptoms radiate out from a heart that needs Him.  





  1. All to Jesus I surrender;
    All to Him I freely give;
    I will ever love and trust Him,
    In His presence daily live.
    • Refrain:
      I surrender all,
      I surrender all;
      All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
      I surrender all.
  2. All to Jesus I surrender;
    Humbly at His feet I bow,
    Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
    Take me, Jesus, take me now.
  3. All to Jesus I surrender;
    Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
    Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
    Truly know that Thou art mine.
  4. All to Jesus I surrender;
    Lord, I give myself to Thee;
    Fill me with Thy love and power;
    Let Thy blessing fall on me.
  5. All to Jesus I surrender;
    Now I feel the sacred flame.
    Oh, the joy of full salvation!
    Glory, glory, to His Name!

Starting a Journey

September 3, 2010 Originally posted How to Begin a Journey 1. Pick a destination or simply start. 2. Plan a detailed itinerary or just take the first step. 3. Pack everything or travel lightly. I am choosing to just begin. To leave behind the baggage, pick up a day pack, and go. Several nights before we moved to Ogallala, I was praying about the transition when I heard that still, small voice of God. In that moment, I knew He heard my Heart's Cry. He hears every whispered plea, every unspoken longing. If I truly sit with that truth, it humbles me. What courage, boldness, passion, and decisiveness I have when I remember: He never leaves or forsakes me. He provides for my every need according to His riches in glory. My hope is to encourage you He hears your Heart's Cry too.

Picking up Rocks and Riding in Boats

I took a walk with a three year old young man today.   His mama was frazzled and he was bored.  "Grab your shoes," I told him.  He ran to his Mom to get his shoes on and ran to the door.  After fixing the shoestrings and the coat was on the way he wanted and I showed him the edge of the sidewalk and where we would walk...we were off. A dried piece of weed draped across an edge of the sidewalk, and I bent down to check it out.  He followed my lead and bent in half beside me.  I broke a piece off and gave him half and continued on our way.  Have you ever took a walk with a toddler?  And looked at things the way they do?  The broken sticks in the gutter, the ice and the small patch of snowing clinging to life are all gold to these little explorers.   A little encouragement is all they need to sift for treasure along the way. A smooth stone sat contentedly on the driveway of a house.  I stopped to admire...

Hurry. Time is Running Out...

Hurry.  Time is running out . 6.5 hours left of 12/10/2012. 4 days le ft until the weekend. 15 days left until Christmas.   21 day s until we fall over the fiscal cliff & financial Armageddon.   Time is running out. Time to make a difference. Time to count. Time to make moments matter. Time to make my life matter.     Time is running out. Time to tell my family that I love them. Time to breathe. Time to love. Time to heal. Time to restore. Time IS RUNNING OUT. BUT it is all the time I have. IT IS All the time I need.  Time to Praise. Time to Pray. Time to smile. Time to listen. Time to be.   Time is running out . Today I will take the time to love. Time to tell others about the hope I have in Jesus! Today I have the time t o listen to God. Time to reach.  Time to teach.  Time to lead.   Time to make a change. Time is running out. ...
