When You Give Your Life Away

When is the last time you gave your life away? That moment when:
* you knew what God was asking
* you knew the cost
* you questioned your sanity
* you chose to follow God anyway
This happened to me in 1999.
* I knew God was asking me to help start Hope Pregnancy Center in Kalispell, Montana.
* I knew it meant putting my writing on the shelf for a while.
* I knew it meant homeschooling my kids would look different.
* I didn’t know anything about starting a non-profit business, crisis pregnancy work, or how to help people, and I was still struggling with issues from my own past abortion.
* I chose to follow God anyway
According to Matthew 10:39, “If your first concern is to look after yourself, you’ll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you’ll find both yourself and me.”
