I will admit that I am a bit of a control person. I like order and things to run smoothly. However, as I matured in life that I cannot always be in control. It causes more stress and drains one’s strength. Therefore, I learned to drop everything in GOD’S hands and sought after HIS divine answers. I have learned to step away from pressing situations and people. I will take mental days from work when things become too hectic in interfering with my peace. So I used the weapons of prayer, fasting, and reading GOD’S Word. Seeking out places near water comforts and calm my spirit and resets me. I know that I can go to GOD’S secret place to rest, refresh, and recharge. I am assured that GOD’S has plans perfectly designed for me.

CONTROL: That too Was a biggie for me, and I say was because it went out the window, down the street and into the stratosphere for me when my only child passed away. It let me know that I controlled Absolutely Nothing! The harder I looked for grief, pain and loss All I could find was JOY unspeakable Joy! It made no sense but God let me know He was STILL IN CONTROL! And I gladly relinquished it! And since then I have felt nothing but FREEDOM!

Oh man … control is such a difficult thing when you have a type A personality. Most of my life I’ve struggled dealing with control issues. Only one thing has helped me get a grip … God. Every time I think I needed to be in complete control, the Lord reminds me that He is in control. As soon as I let go, He releases the blessings I thought I could bring upon myself. Jeremiah 29:11 quickly became the reminder I needed. There is a plan, He knows the plan and no matter what … His plan is the best. It’s better if I release my pride and let Him do the controlling. ❤️

Absolutely have control issues! Both hands raised! But I always get a kick out of how God let’s me think I’m controlling something and then before it gets too far out of hand He says”Come on baby girl, let me help you to see that you aren’t in control of anything. And let me show you before you hurt yourself and the people around you. For me, my control issues come from not growing up with my dad and needing to feel accepted. So if I can be the smartest, most helpful, most thoughtful, hardest working, etc…then I’ll be accepted and controlling that environment feels safe. It has not been until about 7 years ago at almost 50 years old that I have been able to surrender that need for acceptance and live in my truth. Not having to control everything has brought a freedom that is unexplainable. I love the confidence of being free.

SJSS…. Ok. Control, order, controlled chaos. I get you sis. One thing I have learned in life is that you can only do what you can do when you can do it. I have learned that trying to control everything outside of myself is going to lead me into chaos. What do I do? First thing is to breathe. Secondly, I ask the question, “What can I do at this moment that is not going to stress me out?0 if any slightest thought is stressful, I’m not doing it. All things are working together for my good and somethings are there to teach me patience. Let patience have her perfecting work so that she can mature me so I don’t spiral out of control. Charis, everything you need will be delivered at its appropriate time. Stop, breathe, meditate, and it will all work itself out. God always has a solution for our problems. Blessings to you and the family. Congratulations on your new home.
