... we had to let it go. We had to be willing to lose it…

“... we had to let it go. We had to be willing to lose it all, even if it came to foreclosing on our house, moving into a rental apartment, and starting over. God was not just asking us for a commitment, we were being called to complete, ego-busting surrender.” quote by Joan Ball
