New New New

As a start this next chapter in my life...I would like to sincerely thank those that have held such a special place in my heart the past 3 and a half years. I would not be the person, the overcomer, I am today without your love, support, and prayers. It's funny - when I actually started this new blog - A New day - With Love, Summer - It's been almost a year to come back around. Sometimes we can't but time tables on our healing process. I've definitely had some highs and some very dark lows since last May. But you know what changed it all - Christ! Getting back to the love of a father that is never failing, never judging, always forgiving. I had turned my back on the church for sometime because I still had alot of unresolved "junk" from my parent's divorce and felt like the church let me down. THen after Marc's passing - I was mad at God too. I tried to fake it well. I still prayed...but I wasn't sure God was listening to me. I didn't understand why all this was happening. How could he allow this to happen to me? Why? Why? I read in my early blogs, in my grieving blog, where that was so often my question. That is very common and normal for a grieving person. In the past year, I feel I have moved from victim to survivor and I am working very hard on becoming an OVERCOMER!

I don't know WHY this has happen. I may never know. But I know I have surrendered my life to the Lord and it is in his Plan. I give it all to you Lord --This is my surrender.

With Love,

Summer



My Surrender - Steven Curtis Chapman

Does it all sound the same?
Are my words getting through?
I've been trying so hard
And I'm about to break
So here I am with all I have

And I'm giving it all back to You
All back to You
I surrender
Yeah, I'm giving it all back to You
All back to You
This is my surrender
Take it all

And what song can I sing
But the song that You give
I have nothing to bring
That did not come from Your hand
So here I am with all I have

And I'm giving it all back to You
All back to You
I surrender
Yeah, I'm giving it all back to You
All back to You
This is my surrender

All my plans and all my dreams
I'm giving it all to You
I lay it all down at Your feet
I'm Yours

So what song can I sing but this song?

I'm giving it all back to You
All back to You
I surrender
I'm giving it all back to You
All back to You
This is my surrender
Take it all
Take it all
Lord, take it all
Take it all

So...I'm starting a new blog!

I'm starting a new job - a new decade in my life - a fresh start heading in the right direction.

More to come - later --updating this from my iphone. Hard to type too much from it.
