Control

That's a touchy word isn't it? I wouldn't label myself as a controlling person. But then I heard something on the radio that really mad me think. It was on our local Christian station and it was a little devo from Proverbs 31 Ministries. She asked if circumstances feel out of control, do we become more controlling? For me this comes out in subtle ways (usually haha). If I'm feeling like circumstances are going crazy, one of my favorite things to do to de-stress is bake. I never realized why till this morning. I think it's because I can control the baking. If the cake or whatever don't turn out, it's because I didn't do something right. As long as I follow the instructions, everything will turn out. It's a little piece of control, when I desperately need it. I know this is poor writing since I don't really have a conclusion. Joe, who I usually sound all my ideas off and talk through them before posting, is out watching a baseball game in Chicago. So I can't talk to him about this. But here's the link for the devotional.
