When you "turn your life and your will over to the care of God," you surrender the outcome of all your dreams, but not necessarily the dreams themselves. I surrendered in 1982. I gave up all my dreams. My son said, "Mom, it is okay to dream as long as you let go and let God." So, I resurrected some of my dreams and pursued them. One of them was to find love. God answered this prayer. Another dream was to be a writer. That also came true. The dreams that did not come true pale in comparison to the ones that did. See my book God Stories. The reason we surrender to God is because he knows what is best for us. He knows what will truly make us happy. Why don't we know what will make us happy? Because we have limited knowledge of ourselves. We think we know what we want but we don't. We actually learn through trial and error after surrendering. Trust in the surrender process. Follow your dreams without expectation. Attachments:
