nyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" This is a journey from bondage to freedom, where God deals with everything that stands in the way of living fully abandoned to Him. I navigate hard questions and I learn to accept even harder answers. I learned that the art of letting go is a daily surrender and I learned that love will always make a great exchange.
