Complete Dependence

Hello Everyone. I decided to join the blogging world, though when it comes to blogging (that among other things), I don't know much.
I am a sophomore at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa; where I am studying Theology and Youth Ministry.
I grew up in Sunnyside, Washington, but wherever God leads me is where I call home.

The title of my blog is something that I think is vital for the Christian life, but it is something that I struggle immensely to do. We all need complete dependence on God, complete surrender to Christ, and to daily die to ourselves. We need to rely on him entirely to provide for all of our needs according to his amazing goodness and grace. In his grace he goes far beyond what we do, and breaks into the astonishing reality of all that God does through and for us - without our deserving it at all.

This is a life goal: to continue to grow to know Christ, and to follow him; every day becoming more aware of how dependent on his providence and grace I truly am. Daily denying myself to take up my cross, and follow Christ; trusting him with my everything. In depending on him and his love, giving myself to him to share his love for all he made in his image - through me. And while I constantly depend on him imperfectly, his grace is enough for me and his forgiveness allows me to stand.
I apologize if it becomes overly theological in your opinion, I will try to make it interesting, controversial, or fun. :)
