Hi, Joanne,
It’s always encouraging to me to find other Sisters in Christ who are experiencing the same struggles I am! My Bible study group just had a discussion on being control freaks and perfectionists.
I can also relate to your oldest being a senior. My oldest daughter is a senior this year and I am such a mess of contrary emotions!! One minute excited for her and all the possibilities the future holds – and the next minute terrified for the same reason. Thankfully, as a Christian, I get frequent reminders that it’s really not my job to worry over all those unknown things in my daughter’s future – God can do a much a better job of it if I let Him!

Hi Joanne, my name is Angela and I too am a control freak! I really loved this post and struggling with this issue keeps coming back to my life…perhaps it is my “thorn” A few weeks ago I stated that I was controlled by the need to control (and I even am in the process of writing out my thoughts about losing control while thinking I was in control).

I love your thoughts today Joanne! It is so easy to be desperate to be in control all the time and realize too late that things simply work better if we stop and let God handle it! Thank you so much for sharing!

i agree that we try to control things out of fear…it is something i struggle with daily. no matter how many times God shows me He is in control, i still feel the need to help Him out. thank you for this.
