Yield

hello little blog!
here's what you've missed: I went through a phase of not wanting a blog in the midst of a small panic attack I had regarding my life. I was bored. And I felt really emotional and "trying to be artsy" for having a blog. Then I decided to screw it. I'd keep the blog.
I'm currently interning with West Houston Young Life. I really like it! I've been challenged to dive deeper into a relationship with God on a day to day basis... not in a camp setting or even in college, but at home. Even harder. So God has been challenging me to read his word and communicate with him and he takes, as much as he can at a time, a piece of my heart. I know the process is gradual because I can feel it. And then there are the days when I can't. That's when I know that I should bend my heart further towards the Lord.
"Now then," said Joshua, "throw away the foreign gods that are among you and yield your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel." Joshua 24:22
The synonyms of yield are: bow, cave (in), give in, submit, succumb, surrender
So I am now thinking of the ways that I can yield my heart to God in my very own personal ways. I'm finding that I can yield my heart to him in many ways, even as I admire the murky and somehow bright color of the sky before it turns completely dark.
