Hey girls
I’m a control freak. This is the real, authentic me. I love controlling situations and whenever I can’t, I feel disorientated and freaked-out.
We’re all a mess sometimes.
I woke up today feeling out of control. An online ‘Skype call’ scheduled for the day, was moved to another time, throwing my whole schedule about. Then I found out that our blog-link isn’t working on both Facebook and Instagram. Man, oh man, was I frustrated.
My day went by so slowly and although I’ve somewhat recovered from my ‘out-of-control-mind-set’, I wasn’t in the mood for anything. I strained from talking to God about my journey, I didn’t recall Scripture and I wanted to binge (by the grace of God, I didn’t binge). Yes, we are all a mess sometimes.
I should let go of my need to control everything; I should let go of dependence upon myself.
When I finally decided to talk to Jesus, I emptied my heart, asking Him questions about my journey and allowing Him to answer me. One of His answers to my question, was that I should let go of my need to control everything; I should let go of dependence upon myself.
Taking control out of God’s hands, usually cause me to have my fingers burned.
Taking control out of God’s hands, usually causes me to have my fingers burned. I always end up disappointed because I can’t control situations or people. I drown under the pressure of trying to control circumstances, trying to exceed my own expectations.
Slowly, I loosened my fingers around the situations and things I tried to control and allowed God to take it from my hands.
We weren’t made to control all things. We were created to glorify the One who controls all things and made all things
Loosening my grip resulted in God surprising me with a gift in one of the areas where I felt out of control. He changed circumstances around and showed me the extent of His power. He showed me how limited my own attempts at control are.
We weren’t made to control all things. We were created to glorify the One who controls all things and made all things. When things feel overwhelmed, remember that He is the One who breathed the stars into being, and crafted the heavens (Ps. 33:6). He's got the whole world in His hands.
Lots of Love
