control
May 27, 2009
I don’t have control over my circumstances.
But I do have control over myself.
What will I do with it today?

So when I was in the States I hung out with a with a counseling friend of mine (I have like a standing appointment whenever I’m there) and she was explaining to me that the ONLY control God permits to us is Self-control. Ouch. She then went to ask me a handful of questions about areas in my life that I was currently trying to control. Like money, time, family, friends, husband, traffic, stuff. Double ouch. My answers were yes to all. Dang it.
We prayed after that conversation.
Well, I would start out with a nice, grande Starbucks coffee (of your choice of course!!!) :) But, thats just me. ;)
Hugs and kisses :)
Sounds like something Corrie Tenboom would say.
It can be so hard to be so intentional. Why is that?
wake up, smile and shake it like nobody’s watching :)
yeah…
hmm. good stuff.
reminds me of one of my favorite ‘life quotes’.
“attitude is 10% what happens to me and 90% how i respond to it.”
smile, BIG!!!!!!
UGH! You’re killin me with this today!
very convicting.
to me, too, friend.
wow….as I was dropping of encouragement cards for a friend today I was talking about my control issues and here you go and post this
same as yesterday. move forward in faith one step at a time.
Exactly!
I would like to recommend a mild cheese.
and THAT is why i love you!
Eat some mini spooners.
Today I had no control over me. It wasn’t pretty.
Summer boredom has already arrived…. and you know what they say about idle hands…..
I nearly rang a few necks today instead of just calmly and firmly instituting consequences.
It was a fail.
Jump out of bed to meet the day. Pick myself up off the floor and grab some Ibuprofen to make it through the day.
Have some bacon & eggs, followed by toast & bacon, then some tea with more bacon. Go to the store and stock up on bacon.
Read the comics and laugh at Garfield. Laugh at every dumb thing I do during the day. I get a lot of practise at laughing.
Dance like I am still a teenager. Get some more Ibuprofen because I am not.
you really like bacon, don’t you!?
Sing loudly.
Go swimming.
Pet geese… wait…
*wink*
But, really. You should do something abnormal. Like cooking a new meal. Or signing up for that photography course that you SO should take – because you could really benefit from and appreciate it! (You know you wanna!)
i really wish i had my real camera here, cause i’d definitely look into that course. maybe soon? maybe???
Set a goal, make a plan, execute! That’s my mantra for today…u r so right…we can let life happen to us or we can make life happen!!
