TOTAL [[complete]] SURRENDER [[to give oneself up]]
Everyday is a journey and I am sharing mine. TOTAL SURRENDER; sums up my life. On September 28, 2008 I made the decision to totally surrender my life to Jesus Christ...and ever since that day He has been teaching{what a process!} me how to surrender all areas of my life to his Lordship. He teaches me something new daily and His grace truly is amazing. God Bless!

community
All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:44-47 NIV)

My brothers and sisters, this should not be
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. (James 3:9, 10 NIV)

{He calls - we answer}
"When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish."
"Master," Simon replied, "we worked hard all last night and didn't catch a thing. But if you say so, I'll let the nets down again." And this time their nets were so full of fish they began to tear! A shout for help brought their partners in the other boat, and soon both boats were filled with fish and on the verge of sinking.
When Simon Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus and said, "Oh, Lord, please leave me--I'm too much of a sinner to be around you." For he was awestruck by the number of fish they had caught, as were the others with him. His partners, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were also amazed.
Jesus replied to Simon, "Don't be afraid! From now on you'll be fishing for people!" And as soon as they landed, they left everything and followed Jesus." Luke 5:4-11
Jesus blessed abundantly more than they were able to do in their own strength or power. He then comforted them before explaining their new job description. They would be fishers of men.
& with those words they left everything & followed Jesus, without question.
If you're afraid to follow Jesus into the life that He has for you, He's saying, "Don't be afraid!" He will never leave you, He will never forsake you.

he word of the Lord endures forever
For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you. (1 Peter 1:24, 25 NIV)
The Word stands forever.

{Work for The Lord}
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. (Colossians 3:23, 24 NIV)
WHATEVER you do!

Something to think about...
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. (Philippians 4:8 NIV)
