Control

I am going to write about control
Are you out of control?
Control can be in control
or out of control
You are out of control
when God can't even control you
You are out of control
if you don't listen to anyone
not even when it makes sense
You are out of control
when all you know is yourself
what you want
and not what others want
You are out of control
when all you want are your decisions
So when am I in control?
You are in control
when you are about to let go
and not be afraid you would lose it
when what you say means nay
but you accept it anyway
You are in control
when you let God make decisions for you
Ahh that is going to be hard
Precisely
You are not in control
Dream on
So when am I in control?
Never
Lol

Edwardj Clark July 5, 2015 at 4:30 PM Hi Toquyen, to be in control or not to be in control; that is the question. Yes, it is hard to let go and let God be in control but not impossible for sure. This is something we have to learn through our lifetime as our ego has to die as our pride to be replaced with humility and grace. We can only do this through prayer and the help of fellowship. Kind regards and well wrote, Edward Toquyen Harrell July 5, 2015 at 4:47 PM Thanks, Edward. Our ego can never die because that is our spirit. But our will can :)
