A few weeks ago at our Churches Executive Committee meeting I shared with the folks how I felt God calling me to give up control of several things I am doing in the life of the Church and to delegate that stuff out to others who can do these things. I want to do this, I even need to do this, but oh it is not easy! Why? Well they may not carry out this responsibility like I would. Or Sometimes I would find myself doing something I should delegate out, but it just seemed quicker and easier to do it myself. Any of you ever do been there? And then there are times I tryed to take control of an issue we might be facing as a church and I thought I had just the right answer, that is until I would get to a Board meeting and wow so many of the board members had much better ways of handling an issue then I did. It seemed as if my two cents worth at times wasn't even worth two cents. All because I am finally trying to give up my controlling nature. Now I have a longggg way to go in this area, but with the work of the Holy Spirit I am making headway. What about you? Are you afraid to give over the reins to someone else at work, are you listening to a different way of thinking from your spouse or a friend of yours. There is a popular contemporary song out right now called, "Jesus Take Control". Boy if I would only let him do that more often life would be so much better and less stressful!
Have a Joy Filled day and remember to Bless Christ! Pastor Rick
