Sunshine Sunday: God Is In Control
12:00 AM |

Life has changed so much since then. I attended and dropped out of college... twice. I've had three completely different (but all rewarding) careers. I met someone my complete opposite who I fell head over heals in love with. I am now married with three beautiful children.
On the outside I am a thousand times more sensible... but sometimes I still feel like that teenager running amok in all the chaos. Often I feel like I'm just playing at being “grown-up”. And like a teenager, no matter what I still struggle with a “know it all - I'm in control” attitude.
As adults, I think a big challenge we all face is coming to terms with the fact, that no, we do not know it all. No matter how hard we try, God is in control of our lives and is the only one who really does know it all. Relinquishing control of our lives and letting God take the reigns, even when we think we know what's best for ourselves is very difficult.
I challenge you this week to take a step back and long hard look at your lives. What things in your life are you unwilling to let God take control of? Remember that God is control and will not forsake us.
11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

Great thoughts, Dani!! Love that song by the way!! =)
I too graduated from H.S. 17 years ago! (sigh! Has it really been that long?) I love to look back, as you have, and ponder how far I've come...realizing how far I still have to go...and that over all of it, the Lord is in control.
