Something so seemingly natural to me is becoming my greatest struggle. Control. I like to control my schedule, my time, how things are done, even the way clothes are folded. Yes, I'm that girl. Recently I've learned controlling those things are far less important than controlling my attitude, my mouth, my feelings, and my moods. God once gave me a word "if you want to control something, control your mouth". Thinking on that it is the foundation of the other things I need to work on controlling, my attitude, my feelings, my moods. Yesterday at The Promise Land Church in Detroit the Pastor was teaching on something so simple yet so complex "be quiet". He illustrated how your tongue was constructed behind gates (your teeth) and how powerful those gates can be when you open them.
In working through restoration of myself I want to continue learning control, positive control. Keeping my mouth shut, losing the attitude, and dropping the roller coaster mood swings. I want my words and my actions to reflect the Godliness I know I was intended for.
"if we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values - that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control" - MLK
