I think that we all can admit to having stressful days. When nothing seems to go right at all, and we just want to scream and cry.
Maybe those are the times we need God most. When we feel like everything is out of control and slipping away from our grasp.
Whenever I feel like I'm losing control of my life, I have to remind myself that I wasn't supposed to be in control in the first place.
And that's one of my biggest problems-controlling. I want everything to go as a schedule. I want to be able to expect and anticipate what happens next. I want to be in control.
But I can't be. God has to.
He can see past my current state and into years, or maybe even just minutes, later of my personal future.
You could be the world's most cautious and safe driver, but that doesn't mean everyone else around you on that highway is.
All it takes is one faulty move, one slip of the foot on the gas or brake pedal, and a life could end.
We can't control our lives or the decisions of others we love. We have to trust God to do so according to the plan that only He can see.
His plans are weird sometimes. It may include hospitals, or losing someone, or moving away, or even just a small step out of our comfort zones.
And it's in those moments that we have to just breathe and hand God the reins to this crazy life.
Because without God, we'd all be a mess.

Hey guys!! I'm so sorry that I haven't written in here in... well, a very long time.
Lately, I've been struggling with things I talked about in this chapter. I've been wanting to control my life, and it's been causing stress and hurt.
And even though it took a while, I finally was able to hear what God was saying and give Him back ultimate control.
Prayers would be greatly appreciated for my family. There's been a lot happening.
Well, I love you guys dearly!!!!!!! God bless!!!!!!
(And if you have any topics you want me to write about, please message me!!! I would love to hear what you guys have to say!!!!)
