We learn from a very young age that giving up is taking the easy way out – that if we give up, we are lazy. We learn that the world only honors those who do things the hard way. How can we grow faith in God when the world tells us to do all things ourselves?
Frannie Rose was bedridden for 17 years with no diagnosis. On the 17th year it was very clear to her, she had a very big decision to make. Should she lay in bed forever and live a life of burden to family? Should she choose suicide and end the misery? Or should she surrender to a God that she felt had abandoned her?”
It was a long and hard decision. Choosing to surrender to God, her bed became sacred ground. Surrender brought a peace and emptiness that was new for her. Before this, life had been so filled that she could barely feel the wonder of being. Once she surrendered, she was shown a deeper world – a world with infinite potential. As Frannie says, “The power of this surrender, changed my life.”
