Self control, God knows, is difficult at best… Especially when rebellious is the self possessed. I've put myself in corners, I'll be grounded till pigs have wings I can't even tell myself what to do, it seems.

Ha - a humourous write Crystol, and so true. So why worry just do what instinct tells you - I don't fight it, just go with the flow - Lol Hugs Maria PS all the best in your contest.

Oh perhaps in some situations that can be okay but trying to be better than our instincts is part of growing I think. Appreciate the word of encouragement! Xo

Ahh yes. One of the nine fruits of the Spirit. Our inherent sinfulness makes this one a toughie. I can relate

It's a daily choice to live in flesh or allow the Spirit to control huh. Sometimes minute to minute. The others are not as tough... love joy peace long suffering gentleness goodness faith and meekness... but we gain it all when we allow the Spirit control. Xo

boldy expressed, well phrased: "...put myself in corners," well stated here

Nice humor, Crysodtol. Good luck. I have been doing miserably in these contests for months now!

Sometimes it seems that way for me too... looking back at my Contest entries is encouraging though... to see how many have at least placed! You always seem to do so well! And remember, it is only one person's opinion in the contests...xoxo
