We live in a world of social media where our happiest moments are captured at the snap of a button, edited with the most complimentary filter possible, and then shared for all to see. It’s most always the beautiful moments that we open up to others, and the less lovely instances are quickly deleted so as never to see the light of day. As a Christian woman it’s easy to dress up your family in color-coordinating outfits, haul everyone hurriedly off to church, and smile pleasantly at passerby’s of your pew like you are the happiest family to ever be, and like there were never raised voices and tears prior to your arrival for Sunday morning service. Let’s face it, we’re all human, and our actions will never be quite as they should be. We will always be in the good race to obtain those traits presented in Proverbs 31, and we will fall short many times, but too often we miss the mark of where it all starts. Too often we as women desire to give ourselves to our community, our friends, and our

We all need God's Blessing like never before, the one thing that commands it is ABSOLUTE SURRENDER. Absolute surrender is giving all things to  Him. Surrendering your all might look foolish to the world but to God, He needs it to perfect His work in your life. Your body is the temple of God but if you don't present the body a living sacrifice, God cannot make use of it. That is to show you the extent He can go when you don't surrender all to Him. 1 Peter 5:7 " Cast your anxiety on Him because He cares for you" God is actually calling us and guess what? He is right beside us everyday second. Our ignorance and unbelief has put us far from his call. God Expects Your Surrender Yes. It has its foundation in the very nature of God. God cannot do otherwise. Who is God? He is the fountain of life, the only source of our existence and power and goodness, and throughout the universe there is nothing good but what God works.

Getting what you want is success; and success is an effect, coming from the application of a cause. Success is essentially the same in all cases; the difference is the things the successful people want but not in the success.
