Out Of Control Deborah A Hilton

OUT OF CONTROL. What do you associate with this statement, 'Out Of Control'? I am sure you have heard people say, 'She is completely out of control, ' or 'He has totally lost it!' This is usually what we think of when that statement is voiced. However, the 'out of control' I am talking about is when, at times, you find yourself dropping the proverbial juggling balls, in the life that you believe you were meant to be in control of. The dictionary defines control as: to exercise authoritative or dominating influence over; ability to manage; to hold in restraint. Whatever we personally brand control as, to some degree, we all want it. We want to know that everything is safe and secure in our world, which is both a normal and natural expectation for our life. For those of us who are control freaks however, it goes beyond the average expectation. We black belts of control, feel it is our duty, our responsibility, a burden put upon us to keep everything organized, flowing, happy, drama free and on track at all times. We make it our full-time occupation, because heaven forbid, if we let go, our world, and possibly the world, would cave in, causing us to become anxious, helpless and 'out of control'. THE GOOD NEWS IS, there is a better way, the Jesus way.
