Maybe you’re motivated to make some changes in your life in the new year, and you’ve set yourself a long list of goals. But that list of things you’re trying to change can feel overwhelming! We become depleted after exerting the self-regulation it takes to make a change. This is called “goal fatigue.”
Perhaps you can relate.

Surrender. It is a word that conjures up thoughts of giving up and giving in. I picture soldiers on the battlefield, rifles above their heads, allowing all their hard-fought efforts to dissipate, all they’ve fought for coming to nothing. It is no wonder then that the idea of surrendering is not an idea I naturally embrace—even surrendering to God. I have to talk myself into it. I have to remind myself of the wisdom of surrender.

I have been working at Harvest House for 13 years in August. As the Accountant at HH, I produce reporting as well as the monthly financial statements for the company. My favorite thing about working at HH is the sense of family here. There are times of joy, times of sorrow, as well as, times of chaos, which are all things we as individuals deal with in our own immediate families. The people I work with here are one of the other things I enjoy about HH. This company is full of compassionate, caring, and understanding individuals which today is sometimes hard to come by in the working world. Harvest House is an enjoyable place to be each day. People might be surprised to know that I have known my husband since grade school. We attended the same grade school, he then moved around with his family while his father worked, and came back to attend part of middle school and all of high school here in Eugene. We began our relationship in 2001 and we have now been married 10 years this August and have 3 wonderful children.
