a call to surrender

There's so much to say, yet I don't even know where to begin. I can barely believe that I drove 920 miles Monday and Tuesday and am now in Colorado where I will be for the next 10 months or so. It's so beautiful. Last night I unpacked my suitcases and, even though my room is still a little scattered, it's coming together nicely and will be a nice living arrangement for me. It's a 3 bedroom doublewide that I will be sharing with three other girls, but will have my own room for the spring and fall. I have gotten really good sleep the last few nights and am finally starting to feel like I'm at the very end of this cold that I've had for over a week now. Something that I'm learning is that God's timing is perfect, and that He is sovereign, and in complete control. I don't know why in my humanity I have such a hard time trusting my Savior, who came to conquer death for me. Why is it such a difficult thing to just surrender fully to Him? Especially if He is in control, and when I am not surrendering, I am not fully believing that He is who He said He is. He is calling me to surrender all to Him, and let Him be who He said He is, and who He came to be for me: my Savior.
I would love for my song everyday to be: All to Jesus, I surrender, all to Him I freely give. I will ever love and trust Him in His presence daily live. I surrender all, I surrender all. All to Thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender all. All to Jesus I surrender, humbly at His feet I bow. Worldly pleasures all forsaken, take me Jesus, take me now. I surrender all, I surrender all. All to Thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender all.
But really, do I surrender ALL? And do I "freely" give all?
