Lean in....

Mark said it right....   I read this yesterday on Ann's blog about control freaks...(eh hem...me)...and it so hit the mark...(no pun intended, since it was written by Mark Buchanan) that I had to make this little pic with the quotes.

It is now my desktop background to remind me.  

"Here’s what I’ve learned: Every impulse to seize control — is the Holy Spirit’s invitation to practice self-control.
Every nerve jolt to freak out, melt down, start yelling, fly into rage or panic is a divine cue to slow down, breathe deep, start praying, and lean into God.
Every instinct to control something is God’s nudge to control myself."

Help me remember that Lord.
