While I struggle with all these, control has been a big issue for me lately. I’ve been asking God to show me the more hidden, deeply-rooted sin in my heart, and I’m finding that most of it can be tied back to me wanting to have control in whatever the situation might be. With my husband, my kids, my home…God has been whispering to me that, like you said, NEWS FLASH! I’m not in control anyway, but in such a gentle way, where I’m remembering His promises to be my Shepherd and Fortress. Hard, but good, stuff. Thank you for sharing, Lara 🙂

Oh Lara! I can so relate! I have been following your blog for several months now and you are a kindred spirit, indeed!

I struggle with everyone of those “identity” distractions….comparison?….only on a daily basis! Criticism? ~ you betcha….been there…done that!! Control? ~ oh yeah, baby! Guess you could say….I am the full package when it comes to “identity” distractions. And yet…that is NOT my true identity! I am the daughter of the King! Nothing I can do will make my God love me any more than He already does and there is nothing I can do to make my God love me any less!

Thank you for this reminder! Blessings dear cyber friend!
