Are you a control freak? Are you controlled by others? There are a lot of things that are totally out of our control and many things that we can decide for ourselves. Sometimes the will of others is imposed upon us. That can lead to fights and even wars.
What about the day to day decisions in life? My wife and I realize that we can take forever to decide on the simplest of matters, such as where to go for dinner or what show to watch on TV. Do not get behind us in a fast food drive through either!
In recent months, we have been laboring over the decision of if and when we are going to move east to live closer to our children and grandchildren. Then the question becomes whether it will be Arkansas or Texas. Now we've narrowed it down from an "if and when" to a question of "when" we will move. The "where" is leaning towards Arkansas but a job could sway that decision as well as the "when".
We have prayed about it, weighed the pros and cons of each piece of the puzzle, and discussed it out the wazoo. Our greatest desire is to be with our family while remaining in God's will so we are content with letting him direct our steps and the timing of it all. We are moving forward with all of the many tasks required for making the move and will continue to do so unless he redirects us.
Please pray for us!
