Control

I learned alot this past week....that if I try to be in control of ANYTHING, it almost 99.9% of the time ends up NOT going the way I want it too! It's sort of funny actually, b/c I am very "inside the box"....I love plaid, so that in and of itself, describes how I roll! So, with our move, being a bit drawn out, tiring, frustrating, backwards in every way, really taught me, that even when things don't go the way I had hoped, God knew all along, & it didn't bother Him. He knew & KNOWS that we had to go through that bumpy week, in order to realize that if we let HIM be in control, no matter what the chaos or the insanity of that moment, He's there. He's going to carry us through it. He's got it covered. He's taken care of EVERYTHING.

So, why am I worried, frustrated, tired & just plain confused when things like this happen. Because it didn't go my way. That is sad to me - oh well, I'm human & can seriously be a flesh-ball, as my sweet hubby likes to say.

As of today, we are staying at my mom's still we can get the house in livable condition. I don't want to rehash all we had to do.....but in a nutshell, we had to "evict" our landlord, & practically renovate this house. It is a great, solid house....wonderful for our family to grow in, but we were greatly deceived. We learned alot in this process. "Control" was a huge thing.

It's much easier for me to let God be God. Let Jodi be Jodi. Simple that way. God ALWAYS knows better than I. I trust more than I did a week ago. I know He took JC and I through that exhausting experience to bring us one step closer to His heart. Funny how we have to go through ikky things to love on the Father, but we'll all better in the end for it!

I will post photos of the house soon....right now, it still needs our "love".

I'm tired....going to bed now. Thank you for reading.
