Its MarSAY! Faith, Wellness & Overcoming Trauma With Confidence and Clarity

7. Are You Truly Surrendering to God?

I reflect on our recent family trip to the mountains, the challenges and joys of snowboarding with my kids, and the transition into homeschooling my oldest son. I also dive into the theme of surrender—asking myself (and you) whether we have truly given every aspect of our lives to God. Parenting, relationships, and personal struggles often bring out our need for control, but true transformation happens when we trust God with everything.

Lessons from our family snowboarding trip and the ups and downs of learning something new
Adjusting to homeschooling and the freedom and responsibility it brings
The power of surrendering control to God in parenting, relationships, and personal struggles
