i sat with 8 guys this morning as we discussed the concept of confidence... i can't seem to shake this word from mind and my heart. i know that confidence comes as we learn to surrender, but i find that its so easy to surrender certain parts and things and try to hold on and control other parts and things. it has become so easy to compartmentalize the whole.
as one of the students said, surrender is so counter-intuitive to our human nature because we think that we can do certain things or that we have certain gifts, talents and abilities... but to the man this morning we all agreed that we have failed more times than we have succeeded...
so why do we believe more in us than we do in him?
makes me see why its not hard for people to not believe in god... i wonder how many of us are striving to give up more than to get more?
i wonder what people see when they look at me?
surrender or control
existing or expecting
