This is one of those days that I have to be reminded that God is ultimately in control of my life and not me. I made a startlingly discovery a couple of days ago that I am somewhat of a control freak. Those of you that are reading this are probably wondering why I am just now figuring this out. Today I had my pre-op appointment for my surgery on Wednesday and found out that my surgery will be at noon and all the other good stuff that I have to do to prepare for it. First, I got anxious that I was not going to be awake during the surgery, which meant that I would totally be relinquishing control to the surgeon and the anesthesiologist. Then I began to worry about how the house was going to stay clean and how I was going to be able to do my work for school this week. One thing led to another until I was at the point of feeling physically ill. That's when God gently reminded me that I am not in control anyway and that He has ALWAYS been in control. I know that God is patiently waiting for me to hand over the reigns so that he can fill my life with peace during this trial. Thanks be to God for his patience and faithfulness to be ever-present and attentive to His children. Thank you also to all the prayer warriors reading this for lifting me up on Wednesday. We love you all!
