Even in the small things, He is still in control....
If any of you know anything about, then you know that I am some what of a control freak. I am type A personality to the nth degree. I like for things to be in order, I am not much on surprises. I like to know all the time what is going on and don't like it when I don't. It's how God has made me, which causes for some good and bad in my life. It hit me like a ton of bricks that I try to control everything Wednesday morning, I was trying to take the kids to school for Tim and Jaye in the midst of craziness of sick children and King Louis needing cat food. After, a 5 year old melt down, a missed bus, a long drive to take Emily to school, and a drive to the office. God spoke to me and I chuckled. He was like, all morning you have tried to control all that has happened the way you think it needs to, I on the other hand am in control....Wow. I find myself at times, thinking I know better than God about everything in my life. But you see that is so not the case, His word tells in Isaiah that " For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord." I tend to forget that. I know so often that my prayers to Him are ones to see what I can get from God, but Perry Noble said it like this " We don't pray to get God to do what we want Him to do. We pray to a God to get our mind in line with a God that has already decided what He's going to do." We can not manipulate God and control Him. We can't. I am so thankful for a God who reminds me of that, in the little things. He is so faithful, even when we are not. Shine, Katy
