Whatever, Wired and Shiny

WHAT-EVER
       "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men." Colossians 3:23

Praying to God each morning asking Him to help me remember He is the One in charge, He is the reason I am at my job, and while I need to be obedient to my employer, I ultimately work for God. I need and should give it my all.

Make it a habit to recognize when I am starting to not let God lead and control.

Learn-by-heart this verse!!!

Hi, my name is Karlene and I have a tendency to control. I'm a soft-spoken martyr and people pleaser. But I have hope and so do you! What I hope to get out of this study is just recognizing when I am heading toward the control tower and then just letting God direct. While I know that I don't just sit idly by and not do anything, but allow myself a more freedom in not having to control everything that comes my way. I hope this study can give me that peace!

Ooo! Shiny!

I do not yet have the book in hand to be able to read Chapter 2. I will do my best to answer this question. I feel the need to control my husband and my soon to be 13 year old son. My husband has things that he does that drive me crazy that I just wish he'd fix, but since he won't I will surely try. Yeah I'm failing miserably at that. My 12 year old son, he's not just like my 21 year old, so I've tried to control his behavior to the point of driving myself crazy. Days have been spent in absolute frustration on both of these guys in my life. I know I can't control them and that I need to let God work in them, but I have this overpowering need of trying to fix them.
