Confessions of a control freak...

So sometimes I feel like a complete spaz.  You might read this, or actually know me, and think I'm crazy, and you would be correct.

I worry and stress about the silliest things.  And I don't just do it for a few hours or a few days.  I have the talent of dragging it out for weeks.  If I feel like I did or said something insensitive, selfish or just silly, even after apologizing up and down, I'll be concerned about how that person really feels about me for a long time afterward.  Poor Jeremy.  Sometimes I'll be apologizing to him while I'm still mad at him for whatever I may have confronted him about.  How confusing would that be?!

I can't control how people feel about me.  I can't undo my mistakes, and I make plenty.  All I can do it try my best to make it right, to learn from it for the future, and to move on.  The moving on is the part I have the hardest time with.  There was a saying that I coined for myself back in high school (this worry thing is a long standing sin I've been battling), "God is bigger than my conversational blunders."  And He is!  Praise Jesus!

Philippians 4:6-7
