Empty my cup and allow God to fill it with what He wants

From listening to JJ Hunter and Kristina Hunter speak at church.

It us so important to always be completely surrendered to the Lord.  I must empty my cup of all my own goals, dreams and ambitions and allow God to fill it back up with whatever He wants for me.  After all, His ways bring true fulfillment and my glory is far to small a thing to live for.

I was inspired by JJ telling his story about how close He was to the NHL but He walked away because he felt God had spoken to him very clearly about other plans He had for Him.  JJ said that he felt to.continue to pursue hockey would have been to disobey God.

I must from these wise pieces of advice.  God has opened then do or for me to do other things beside golf.  He has opened the door for me to be a teacher.  I believe this is what He wants me doing.  If He didn't want me doing this, then I don't think he would have done all that He has for me.  In a time where teaching is extremely difficult to find a job in, God has always made the path extremely clear and easy for me.  And He did this despite the fact that I at no point was extremely motivated to teach.  It is another example of my foolishness, His grace and provision, and my need for utter dependence on Him.

Lord
