Heartfelt thanks.

I want to say thank you to all of you who’ve been praying for my mom and I ask that you keep up the good work. For the last two months, probably longer, I am increasingly aware of who God is and what he is asking of me. The first thing is to give up control to Him, control of all the things I can’t control, actually, control of all the things I think I control. It’s not easy. I like to consider myself strong and self reliant, the hero, the one who fixes things. With God’s lead, I can fix a lot of things and help people out. But at some point, you know; life, death, tornadoes, natural disasters, superbowl drivers, winter visitors, I mean at some point you have to turn it over. So I learn slow. That’s unfortunate. People, friends, have spoken truth to me lately, telling me I am bombastic and hard-headed and can brow-beat someone into thinking like me. They are right and I am trying to not do that anymore. But it is out of my control as well. Bottom line is this, I want to surrender to the spirit and let him develop the fruits of the spirit in my life and quit settling for the good works I can accomplish that keeps me too busy to allow the fruit to grow. Rambling? You bet. I hope to clarify over the next few days. You keep praying, okay? I will keep you updated. Today is a better day. Thank you all.
