Giving Up + Giving In = Peace

I like to be in charge.
Control freak.  Yes.  That's me.

But let's face it.  We are not in control of many things.
Especially in matters of life vs. death.

Today, my father-in-law had open heart surgery.  3 bypasses because stents were no longer an option.
Wednesday, my mom will find out if the biopsy performed last Friday on her breast is malignant or benign.
My husband and I both have aunts and other family members dealing with cancer.

Too much to handle.  Along with all the other things piling up on my plate.
So I am...
Making a God box.  All of my worries + burdens + trials will be written down and placed in that box.
Giving up control + Giving in to God's will = Peace

  1. How is your father-in-law doing? And your mom? It is so true Christi...one the most difficult things is to just surrender. But, oh, letting go of that control is the most freeing thing we can do. It allows us to enjoy each moment we have with our loved ones.

    Love to you and your family, Christi.
