During this season of Lent I have decided what I want to give up. I will give up my desire to control things. It was always a foolish thought, anyway. I cant control the weather. I cannot control the guy in the next lane on the road. I cant control my coworkers. Truth is, there is very little I can control in this world. But I can control myself. I can choose what is right. I can chose to compliment a person on what is right about them, instead of harping on their shortcomings. I can encourage, and believe in a person, even when they dont. I can chose to say you first, instead of I was here first. I can choose to not let my schedule become more important than being there for my family. I can choose to stop trying to control my future, at the expense of enjoying today to the fullest. Funny thing is, I lost control back in the summer of 1996. With a single choice. Everything I have now is the direct result of Gods grace. From my wife, to my job, to my home, to my boys. I couldnt get it before and really shouldnt have gotten all that I have after. Im giving up my control to the One who made all of this happen. Even through the times where I almost mucked it all up again. It is all Him. I give it back up. I quit. Its been a great ride, even when I kept fighting for the wheel. I think it can get even more incredible if I let Him drive......
