So God is still in control right? Yes HE is. I get sick of those periods in my life when He seems to get great joy out of reminding me that I work on His schedule and He does not work on mine.
It makes me think of a line from "Seven Trombones"- "Young Man, Young Man, Your arms are too short to box with God"
In Job, it asks the question, "whose arms are like God's". I am still amazed at how easy it is to become enamored with self. Praise God that He reminds me, even if it annoys me.

Yes, HE is. I want so much to be in control sometimes. Why can't I just see that He knows so much better than I and let Him have it?
My arms are certainly not long enough to box with God. Maybe I'll finally relax in the right arms.
Yeah, I'm a bad control freak. It's hard to let go of control. I like to think that God has a little more patience with those that he designed to be "less than co-operative."
I like that thought shelly. Maybe He has more patience with me!!! I just wonder sometimes why it is so hard to relinquish control at this point. I mean, dang!!! How long do you have to be saved before you get it???!!!
I think it's human nature to want to be in control, but being saved and having faith means knowing it's going to be ok in the midst of the craziness. It's like someone once told me, "You never really have control of anything, now do you?" Doesn't make it any easier though.....
