#14 Giving Up Control with Darlene Scott
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sometimes surrender is the only way to victory. Darlene found this truth out during her journey of healing. For almost all of her childhood, Darlene had bounced around from foster home to foster home. Each time she thought she had found solace, she was greeted with poor conditions and abuse after abuse. Her heart became hardened and calloused to the treatment, and she became closed off to receiving any love. She had to surrender and give God control over her will to find freedom. Her life shows that no matter what you are going through, you can overcome and experience greater victory in the latter years than in the former.
By hearing this story, I hope you will see every mountain you face as defeatable and approach your daily challenges with a victor’s mindset.

Remember, God loves you, and He has chosen you to fulfill His good purpose.
