I am once again attempting to create a blog. I am not always the best when it comes to blogging but I have a deep hunger to submerse myself in God's word and gain a deeper understanding of what HE desires for my life. As I strive for this goal, I want to journal the journey He takes me on.

The Meaning Behind This Blog Title
I have so many thoughts whirling around in my mind tonight and eventually, I would like to record all of them. For now though, I feel as though I should explain the meaning behind the title I chose for this blog: The End of Me. I have been meditating on 2 Corinthians 5:17 which states "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." Now, this is a verse I have known forever and heard too many times to count but in the past couple months, God has been working on me in a big way. More and more I hear Him telling me to let go.....simply let go. I am such a type A personality and this is an area I struggle with. I have a hard time letting go. I want to be in control and I tend to want things done "my way". Yes, there have been many times that I say I am just going to let God handle it but when it all boils down, I do not really give it all over to Him like I should. I tend to hang on, even if I am just clinging to it by a thread, I am not fully surrendering to God. This includes my life. I say I have given my life to God. I was saved as a child and most of my life I have had some sort of relationship with Him. However, the key words there are "some sort". I have never fully, 100% turned my life over to him. There has always been something I have been holding back, afraid to totally surrender. Even now, it is scary. I want the abundant life God has planned for me but that requires me to hand over my old life, my whole being, everything that I am, everything that I have......I have to lay it down at the foot of Christ and allow Him to live through me completely. This is where I am. This is the beginning of my new life, a life fully surrendered to Christ. This is the end of me.................
