Control ~ Five Minute Friday

This week's Five Minute Friday prompt from our host Kate Motaung, is all about Control.


Control. This word should be considered a 4 letter word in my mind. I am the kind of person that if I feel out of control, then I feel like I'm lost. It's not with everything, well yeah it is. Let's not kid ourselves here.

I do not like any situation that I don't feel like I'm in control of. I guess not many people enjoy feeling out of control, but with me it seems to consume me at times. The lack of control in situations gives me such anxiety that it's almost paralyzing.

I know in my heart of hearts that God is begging me to TRUST HIM!! Stop trying to take the reigns in situations that I have no control over! I want to just hand them over to him, willingly, and completely forget about that horrible word, CONTROL. I can feel the battle taking place within me to stop holding on to these situations with every bit of strength that I have until I'm completely exhausted, and just let God have the contol in all of it. I'm working on it. I know He's working in me. I know He's bound to be frustrated with me, but thankfully I serve an understanding God who is willing to wait for me.

"Middle" ~ Five Minute Friday

As I was scrolling along in the forum for The Homeschool Review Crew, I saw a post about doing a 5 Minute Friday Post and decided why not! Here goes my first post...

The word Middle is the prompt for this week. 

In the middle is how I feel right now with everything going on in our lives. We are in the middle of a lease and now the owner of the house has decided to sell it. We are in the middle of trying to decide what to do when the lease is up. We are in the middle of family drama that should have never happened. We are in the middle of our feelings with that right now. We are in the middle of just trying to figure everything out, and what we want to do.

I am so unsettled and ready to just feel at peace with all of the stress we have whirling all around us. I'm tired of being in the middle, and I'm honestly ready to just feel like I'm on top. I want to be settled and happy with no stress, and to feel like we can move on from the "middle" of things that we are dealing with right now. A girl can dream right?

I want to feel like I can move on from this season we are in so that we don't have to be in the middle anymore, and we can put it all in the past.
