Relinquishing control

Submitted by Jilsyt on Tue, 02/27/2007 - 5:35am.

Lately, I've been what you'd call a control freak, about almost everything in our home, my future (planning, planning, planning) and our neighborhood organizations. Finally, I was feeling stressed, and I asked for a personal blessing from my husband who holds the priesthood. Unfortunately, I didn't like what the blessing said, but I did realize the need for it. In the sweetest of tones, I was told that I should take some quiet time to find out what things I really need to control, then relinquish my control over other things, following my heart, rather than just my mind. That's hard for me to do, but I'm determined to work on it. I've always found it sorta silly to do just what my heart says, without thinking it through completely, but I know for this time period I need to.
