Control Issues
Well I'm about to go leave to take the Math CSET, but when I tried cramming, my brain just felt fried, so I'm seeking something to take my mind off of it...
It seems like the older I get, the less life really makes sense and the more everything that seemed so certain and safe is taken away from me. I mean just when you think that you are secure and in control of your life, you realize how little that is true. My house, my family, my friends, my job, and my very life I really have no control over. No matter how hard I try, I can't make someone love me, control my parents' relationship, get the opportunities I want, or know that I'll wake up every morning. But the good thing about realizing such things is that I have assurance that there is a higher being that is in control. He may display sovereignty in ways that I don't understand, but I trust Him because I know that he is righteous and just. So I thank Him for the realization that my securities are really not secure at all because this draws me closer to Him.
Speaking of things I have no control over, off to take the test...

yes, but by God's grace we have control over (choice in) our reactions to the lack of real control we experience in life. There are a whole host of choices: denial, anger, depression, fear, regret, dwelling, stubbornness, detachment, projection, panic, obsessive behaviors, OR surrender with humility, trust, forgiveness, perspective, hope, and love, patience, faithfulness, accountability or determination... I tend to forget all the choices I have before me
Hey Kat,
I hope you did well on your Math CSET. I'm sure you did fine. :)
