Handing Back Control

There have been periods of time, events and instances throughout my life where God has taught me about myself, my desire to control my world and my circumstances, and about freedom. It has been a journey that has been quite painful at times. I liken it to when you have been gripping something heavy with your hands for a long time and you need to prise your fingers loose and they are numb and aching at the same time. However, I see it as a journey towards freedom. I am learning to let go of needing to be in control in some significant areas that show something of God and of what He values and desires for us and from us.
