Control Issues

Control is hard to give up, much like breathing. It may be just as much work to seek God's will in my life as it is to recklessly plow forward and play clean up afterwards. Nevermind that this God is Creator of the Universe, the one who sends food from the sky, parts the sea, and raises the dead. Nevermind all that.

Everytime I go with the flow, I get a little more peace. That's like gold to a worried control freak. Manna.

I'm a slow learner. In spite of this, I'm willing to bet that if I keep working on this surrender thing, good things will happen. I'm going to get enough grace to see me through all of the turmoil. And, because God's love and provision is bountiful, some days, I will get even more than enough.
