I absolutely LOVE being in control. Some say I am goal oriented and I’d like to think that when I put my mind to something and go after it, I’ll achieve it. So when something doesn’t go according to plan, I generally get thrown off course pretty easily and mishandle the situation. As a Mission Volunteer, I have been able to be surrounded by brothers and sisters who find joy in letting the Lord take control. This doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t have goals for ourselves or lack direction in our life, but it does encourage us to leave room for God to work. After all, God loves us so much that He gives us the choice to cooperate with His will for us. When we do, life becomes beautiful 🙂
