Oh I remember

the days when I used to blog once or twice a week.  Now I'm lucky if I blog once or twice a year.  Anyway, I'm writing this blog because I feel there is a message that I am supposed to share.

Control is a difficult thing to give up.  For those that are used to being in charge, used to knowing the outcome or wanting to know the outcome giving up control is scary and difficult.  Yet, to give our lives over to God, we have to give up control.  Lately, I've been fighting some choices I've heard at work and I've taken the wrong approach.  When I realized that maybe this is in the plan God had for me, I began looking for the good things.  I'm still not happy with the decision on the short-term, but realizing that God is in control of my life has allowed me to look at the positive side which I would have missed.

Allowing God control doesn't mean sitting around and waiting for things to happen.  It means creating a plan of action and realizing that things will happen outside of your control.  Those are the moments that God is shaping your life according to His plan.

Next time something happens, stop, think and ask - could there be something God has for me in this message?
