Control

I just had to post a realization I've come to lately that I already knew was an absolute truth, but I know so often we all forget.

I already posted I hate flying. Why? Because it scares me. Why am I not scared in the car driving in Atlanta? Because either me or Paul is driving. I also noticed I was more fearful on the shuttle taking me to the airport than when Paul and I are driving. Why? Because then I feel like I'm not in control. The shuttle driver or the pilot is in control instead of me or Paul. I trust me or Paul and our skills to handle each situation, but not those strangers!

Wait a minute, I thought, on the airplane! I smiled even though noone probably noticed as I remembered, the pilot nor the shuttle driver is in charge. Neither are me or Paul. God is truly in control of everything and always. Wow! What an awesome feeling!

I've reminded myself of this lately with my doubts and fears I've had about my medical issues, too.

Thank you, Lord! You are in control of my stomach! Noone else. Whew! What a sigh of relief!
