Do I have to open the box?
Sarah Morales
Ever have one of those days, where you question everything? Who you are, why things are happening the way they are around you?

Today has been one of those days...

I question things often, I guess you can say I am a bit of a worry wart...

I tend to worry about things that I shouldn't. The moment something happens out of the ordinary, I worry I am the reason it changed. I must have done something to change it. I guess you can say I like to be in control....keep my little life in a box, so I know what will happen, no guessing. I don't like surprises, I like to know what to expect.

I can't keep worrying myself about things like that. I have to remember that sometimes things happen and I am not always the reason for it.

I need to remember that my Father is the only one that is in control of every situation in my life. Things happen for a reason and I have to stop being a worry wart, only take responsibility for the things I know are in my control and let God do His work with the rest. I need to be able to open the box and trust that things are going to work out the way it should.

I am linking up with Jen at Finding Heaven come join us for love and encouragement with some wonderful ladies!!

    I've done that often -- wondering what I could have done, if I was the reason, etc. But, I have to trust that if I have erred, God will show me what I need to do about it. And, sometimes, the surprise is so much better than the feeling of knowing what will happen! Love the new look here!

    I need this reminder often. I come from a long line of worriers...I am just not as vocal as some of my family so they think I have it under control when I really don't. Thanks for the reminder today to place them at His feet. :o)

    Nice to meet you and I hope you link up again at Jen's!

    Sarah,
    Worry wart. Control freak. Perfectionist. I can relate to this. It certainly is hard to let go. I had to do this recently while driving because I'd get so stressed and I'd end up being late anyway. I had to start declaring, in the voice of Mr Incredible, "We get there when we get there!" And it really helped.

    Thanks for your post!
