Trying to control someone else choice of words, actions or even thought process,for me, can be compared to a game of tug-a-war. You can dig your feet in, grab hold tight, pull with all your strength and still end up on the ground. For me, my "ground" time is ......... ~SIGH~. Well , more times than I want to admit......But is a defined reality in my life. *Control is just an illusion when it comes to other peoples actions and words* The Lord spoke these to me several days ago and then had me sit on them. Waiting has never really been one of my best assets in life. But waited I did, until now..... Jesus knows oh so well how my little "control" issues can and have gotten me into a pinch. Of course I didn't see them as "control" issues. However they were and are. And by His grace I am still a work in process. My illusions have come in many forms. If I loved a person enough I could "change" them. ( that can make for bad relationship...
