Control Freak in Remission?
Those who know me well know that I am a little bit of a control freak! In my defense, without lists, organization, authority, my world would be crazy. But to play the devils advocate, my world could also be stress-free, spontaneous, and a whole lot more fun. So where is the happy medium? This is one area that God has showed me several times that playing with my children is more important to them than having clean jammies on at night. Having my husband come home to a peaceful/loving home is more important than if it can pass the white glove test. Taking the time to call a friend is more satisfying than crossing something off my to do list. Control is a strange thing, because for the most part experts say trying to control one thing just clarifies that you are out of control in another area of your life. I would have to say that's a true statement for my life, but something that the almighty is making me more aware of, which is letting go and letting God.
