Mission Control

"Houston, we have a problem"....well, ok. I don't need to contact Houston. I need to contact Mission Control!! But really THAT is the problem! I WANT TO BE IN CONTROL. Me. The one who once said that she didn't like cruise control while driving because I don't feel like I'm in control!!! I've also been know to be a "if you want it done right, do it yourself" person!! Today in church, our Associate Pastor, Pastor Ryan, spoke about Daniel. Good message. The point that hit home for me was SOVEREIGNTY. Who is in control???? GOD OF COURSE! I'm not very good at that. Sad, but true. I'm GREAT at giving my troubles, my entire life, really, over to God. But then I take it back. Brilliant huh? Like I can do a better job than God? We all have our moments....some of us, more than others. Oh, how I wish I could say I have mastered the art of "letting go", but alas, it would be a lie. Just ask my kids! My children are grown. The oldest two have moved out on their own. My daughter is a married woman! But I still want to be involved. I'm NOT one of those mothers that interrupts the lives of my children and demands involvement. But I do ask questions. My daughter is usually ok with this. My eldest son, not so much. I am learning! I have learned that my children can teach me things...that I sometimes make a better student than a teacher. God gave these children to me. Perhaps He gave me these blessings I call my children, to teach me about SOVEREIGNTY. At least today, that is how I choose to look at it. Mission accomplished! My God is sovereign. He is in control! What a load off my mind!! Why can't I keep this knowledge in the forefront of my life on a daily basis? Because God isn't finished with me yet. I'm still a student. Always learning. I encourage you to be a never-ending student. Call on Mission Control....God. My blessings are many, even when I struggle to find two dimes to rub together. I try to share those blessings as much as I can. Today I was blessed with the message I received at church. Who knows what tomorrow brings....what will I write about? God knows! He is in control.....I'm praying I remember that tomorrow!!! Blessings to you all! ~Sooz
