So, are you ever like me and want to maybe turn your brain off? Not forever, but maybe turn it off every once in a while? My mind tends to wander and take paths of its own sometimes. I can take 4 pieces of information, 8 different scenarios, and 6 different time lines and I end up losing myself in a myriad of different ways things could happen.
I analyze things too much more often than not. I can take one fragment, map things out in my head, and create a resolution purely based on what my mind wants to happen. This happens with multiple fragments of information or tidbits of life, and I end up rolling around in my bed for hours at night trying to figure out what is going to happen. Maybe even with some influence, I can make the resolution turn out how others may want it to happen.
As I struggle with mind control (my mind), I am reminded of who has complete control over the entire universe, not just little ol' Jon's life. He has the power and the wisdom to make happen what He wants to happen. If it isn't in my plan, oh well. I should just let God have control of my mind, and my life's steering wheel. As those always insightful church signs say:
Let go and let God

"let go and let God"...
carrie sent me an email that said the same thing on tuesday.
do you thing God's trying to tell me something? :-)
(that was a rhetorical question.)
Hah... God seems to be teaching us all the same lesson right now. Leanne and I have had some late night talks this week about the very same thing. Right now I have a pretty good grasp on the "God has it under control" truth, but not even a month ago I wasn't so sure! Like I told someone else recently, I think God is going to have to keep reminding me. :) And on another note... after reading your blog, I now have the song "Jesus Take the Wheel" in my head. Yeah... thanks for that. ;)
Huh...5...6 folks going thru the same things? Wowsers...
"jesus take the wheel"?!?!
oh bonnie.
