Control

For those of you who don’t know me very well I am little bit of a control freak. I think this week I have learned I really don’t have control over anything. I have been sick all week like the type of sick where there were a couple of times that I thought that was it I wouldn’t be on this world any longer. Ok maybe not that bad but I am a wimp when it comes to being sick. Last week we thought our house was sold this week we find out it’s not, and as of March 24th I am the proud owner of two homes one in Norman and one in Edmond CRAP!! Also I thought I was going to get the opportunity to be apart of a family members funeral this next week. As a minister those are the things you really feel like you can help your family with funerals and weddings. It’s kind of like a doctor you don’t want your family to come to your office everyday but if you can help them with a medical problem here and there that’s great. Well I thought I would get that chance but thanks to one very controlling family member that isn’t happing. Anyway all that and the stress of searching for a new teammate at work have really made me stop and think what do I have control over? The answer for me is a little hard to take the answer is very little. Of course I have control over how I treat people, how hard I work, and what makes me happy, sad, or stressed but really when it come right down to it I believe that God is in control and if that is the case I need to fellow this verse a little more often. “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalms 46:10. For me it’s all about trust if I really trust that God it God then I need to trust that he is in control not me!
