I have a t-shirt that says, “I’m not a control freak, you’re just doing it wrong!” Sadly, that saying rings way too much truth for my life. Ask my kids…do you think they can clean my kitchen properly? Of course not. I am the first to admit that I like to be in control in my world. I used to have a phobia of the stomach flu simply because it’s a loss of control…Yes, I took anxiety medication because I was so afraid that the stomach flu would hit our home…Crazy, right? I knew if one kid would get it, another would, and then another, and then it’d be me or my husband…I had no control over when it would hit or where. I hated it! I do not like feeling like my world is spinning out of control.
Are we careful not to wander when prayer isn’t what it used to be?
Can you think of a time when you felt completely on fire about your faith? Truth and lies seemed so clear, didn’t they? You had perspective on what really mattered and what was passing vanity. You understood what “mountaintop experience” meant, like when Jesus took his coolest disciples up a mountain—the others must have been parking the donkey—and he was transfigured into something they’d never seen before and could barely describe (Mt 17). They got it. They saw what was really going on.
