BETH SURRENDERED TO GOD!!

I am so excited that Beth surrender to God's will for her life. There is a little bit of a story behind it and thought you would enjoy it.

When Beth went to Camp Maverick, she heard God speaking about surrendering. She, being like most of us, was trying to ignore Him. She told us nothing of this.

Next came the Sizzling Summer Services. On Tuesday night I talked with the kids about what God told me and asked it they wanted to share what God showed them. Kyle said, nothing specific. Beth on the other hand sheepishly said, "...kinda...I don't know...".

As I was tucking her into bed several minutes after the above conversation. We had one of those talks. Every once in a while, I go to tuck her in and kiss her goodnight and spend 30 or more minutes talking about whatever she brings up and ends up in a big discussion of God. I actually love those nights. Anyway, we talked about her wanting to surrender to God and that is when she told me the story about Camp Maverick. I told her, that most people have the desire to "run" rather than submit. I then acted out God trying to talk to us and we know it, but still are trying to swat Him off like a bee. She of course thought that was funny and realized that people go through that, even her Mom. We prayed that night together asking for forgiveness for not listen right away and then she surrendered. We were planning on walking the aisle on the 5th, but we ended up doing that tonight instead.

I am so glad that my little girl has such a heart to serve God and that I am allowed to share such special times in her life!

I am so proud of you Beth! Thank you God for working so much in our lives!
