When asking this question, I kept searching for a specific answer, something along the lines of God saying, "this is what I want you to do." Then I would emphatically be obedient to that call. Because of this, I was thinking that being totally surrendered looks different to each person.
I do believe that there is an element of uniqueness in being wholly surrendered to God I think that I was thinking too much about what God specifically wants from me. Tonight God was speaking to me and saying that being surrendered isn't primarily about what we can do to be obedient to God. It is about being present with God and putting Him first in everything we do. It is about having God on our mind and then looking at our thoughts and actions through His perspective. It is about placing our plans and our will second to that which God already has planned for us.
So for now, I'm going to seek to be in His presence and consciously put Him first in all I do and place myself as second or less. I trust that as I do that, God will reveal what he has specifically called on me to do by opening doors/opportunities for me. I won't be passive though in stepping moving forward though but I will seek out these opportunities.
