Then Sings My Soul Saturday - Trust You Brandon Heath
Anybody else out there have control issues? Maybe it's my personality, but I like to be in control. I like to have things planned out and know what is going to happen before it does. So... you see where this can sometimes cause problems in letting God direct me and in trusting Him not just in thought but in action. The words to this song really spoke to me this week. I struggle when I don't know where God is leading me... but I'm recommitting to trust Him.
This really spoke to this "planner" person, too...I find I have to daily be reminded to turn over my "good intentions" for situations in my life...so glad the Lord is patient and merciful....
Nice choice this morning Amy. If we say we don't have control issues I think we're lying to ourselves. Because we do want to have total control. That's not how God wants it though. He wants us to completely and totally surrender to Him and trust that He knows what He is doing. Amen! Thank You Lord!
Control, and the endless struggle to surrender it, was the theme of a 20 minute public testimony that I shared a few years ago. Thought I had succeeded in surrender at that time but the present finds me continuing the struggle. :) So you're not alone for sure!

Fellow control freak, here! Thanks for the song!
I totally have issues with that too! Here's to praying we both can "let go"
Thank you and happy mother's day!
Thank you for doing this meme.
It makes my Saturday's to come sit at Jesus feet while listening to these songs.
God Bless You

And yes ... this is a beautiful song!
Happy Mama's day! Blessings to you!

trusting is on the same difficulty level
as forgiving and not judging!
Amy,
What a blessing to this weary soul! Thank you!
