As a bonafida control-freak, I have often found that God seems to orchestrate my life where all my lengthy research, planning and organizing has to be thrown out the window, usually at a moments notice! The lesson I've gotten from this, is that God obviously doesn't want us to be in such control of our lives, that there is no need to trust Him. I find it very difficult to go-with-the-flow, where the need to adapt and to be flexible is required.I've found that when I try to maintain a tight reign on our life, my expectations get too high and ridgit. At times like these, I find it helpful to imagine myself like a jelly-fish, floating aimlessly across the sea, going where the tides of life take me, and most of all, enjoying it! When our expectations are lessened to the degree of acceptability, we can be better positioned to be surprised, delighted and grateful when things turn out better than we expected! So if your control on your life is ruining it, then start behaving like a floating jellyfish, with no worries and see where God will take you....
