My husband and I have an agreement. Whenever we see each other's control issues begin to take over, we say just what you said, "My name is Pam and I have a control problem". There is something powerful in admitting that fact. You see it for what it is. It's a journey and I haven't completely overcome but I&#Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06789674304552778803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085242348845443498.post-75064326358958428502010-05-29T19:31:42.080-05:002010-05-29T19:31:42.080-05:00Thanks to all you girlies for taking the time to c...Thanks to all you girlies for taking the time to comment! I find that this is yet another issue that is pretty universal among the ladies :) I thank God that He loves us enough to correct us and allows us opportunities to lay these things at the feet of Jesus so that our relationship with Him is not hindered. Praying for you all! :)Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11672003996136914533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085242348845443498.post-11379377030147098062010-05-29T07:36:39.227-05:002010-05-29T07:36:39.227-05:00What an insightful post.

I have become more aware of this, which is good, because I'm trying almost daily to get more relaxed, and let God guide my life.

I'm like Moses, if you're not going, I'm not going! <br /><br />I took a God given dream, put a time limit on it, and walked away from it when it didn't do what I thought it would.<br /><br />Now I'm picking it up and running with it.

I have huge control issues, which is probably a big reason why my life seems to be spiraling OUT of control right now! <br /><br />Congratulations to your daughter! My son is now officially in high school, and that is just unbelieveable to me. I can't imagine four years down the road when he goes to college.
