Never about me....

Sometimes, I find myself in places that are beyond my control. I do not necessarily crave control (like some other people I know :) but I do like to rest in the confidence that things are in some kind of order. It does not matter to me who is controlling the order, as long as it is under control. Does that make sense? :) There are times that I find myself in some chaotic situations, so much that I am not even aware of who controls the order of things. It is at these times that we not only learn to trust, but we also exercise that trust. I get challenged often like this. I am forced to let go of what I know or what I think will work, or even how I would have done it, if I were in charge. Oops! Trust is letting go, it is relying on another, having confidence in another, putting your hope in someone else. Not only does this teach me to serve others, it also allows the "person in charge" to develop in their own skills. And if they fall short, then they get a chance to learn. This is a hard test for many people like me, because we are so used to doing and not used to sitting. But like I said, this I-DO-NOT-ALWAYS-HAVE-TO-BE-IN-CONTROL test happens to me more often now. So I am looking at it as something that God is doing in preparation for a new level in Him. So fellow Righteous Women, stay tuned..... :)
