Calling the crowd to join his disciples, he [Jesus] said, "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat; I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? What could you ever trade your soul for?"
-Mark 8:34

That's cool. Is it the Message?
I like how it says that He is the way for our TRUE SELVES.
God knows everything and our lives are not ours, but His.
Stay on the God-side of things. Always knowing, always trusting.
So woman of God... Now as you have begun your journey into His marvelous Light what will you do with it? Will you let Him lead, even when it goes against everything you think you know? When it doesn't fit into your plan of things? Will you embrace His suffering, will you cling to it and smile as you do? Will you deny yourself to the point of death? Literally? Or will you be like most of the ones out there with a nice set of words/ideas in which they don't even believe?
Country Club ended a long time ago, it seems many didn't get the message tho.
Daily, naw, with EVERY breath, we must die... to live.
Feel me, little one?
Be the change.
Woah, what a cool verse!
Dang, I'm so glad theres more to this life than what we've always been taught. Sarah your awesome keep on surrendering to the way of the Lord. I'm so excited that the more we submit the more He shows us who we really are and the more natural it comes. Thank you Jesus!
