Yemaya ~ Surrender
From the Goddess Oracle by Amy Sophia Marashinksy
Come with your cares
come with your woes
come when life is joyful
come when life weighs you down
come when you take on too much
come when you are spread too thin
come when you are danced out
come when you seek renewal
all I ask when you come
is that you surrender to me
mother ocean
my watery womb waits to hold you
nurture you
birth you anew
when you let go and give over all to me
Yemaya swims into your life with the message of surrender.
Are you carrying more than you can handle comfortably?
Do you think you must do it all by yourself?
Surrender doesn't mean giving up, rather you are giving over,
asking for assistance so you can do what you want to do.
Wholeness is nurtured when you realize the only way
through some situations is to surrender
and open to something greater.
The act of surrendering is one of opening and trust.
*************
Wow. Thank you Yemaya.
This has been my biggest lesson lately.
The act of surrender.
Not giving up, but giving in.
Trusting in Divine Power.
Letting go.
Surrendering.
I let go. I trust. I surrender.

Are you facing a huge transition in your life?
Are you ready to release your obstacles and step forward into the life of your choosing?
Are you kind of lost as to where to even begin?
