Session Description: The Art of Surrender - God desires to create a masterpiece of our lives, yet sometimes we stand in the way of his craftsmanship. By shifting perspectives, letting go of unhealthy expectations, and embracing flexibility as a love language, we make space for the peace of Christ to abide in our hearts. Moment by moment, relationship by relationship, we are invited to stretch the vital Salesian muscle of flexibility so as to lovingly surrender to God’s will and accept the beautifully broken and blessed reality of our lives.
