Control Freak

Do you ever just get tired of having to control things you have no control over? This thought may be a bit of a brain twister for you, but I'll explain.

In my situation, I have no control over the fact I have Crohn's Disease. The fact that I have Crohn's Disease forces me to control my lifestyle or suffer the consequences. This lifestyle means not enjoying favorite cuisine, going to bed before my grandpa, not hanging out in bars, not eating out that often, and basically planning my outings around my BM schedule.

So this doesn't sound so bad. For the most part, it's not. It is just sometimes I feel so confined! I just want to be irresponsible. Lose control. I want to eat a piece of cake or have a hot dog and beer. These little things most people take for granted or don't even think about are things I rarely or never get to do. Boo hoo poor me right. Get over myself. Don't worry I will right after I post this.

Today the Lord blesses you and me with three verses:

John 16:33 ESV / 73 helpful votes

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Matthew 11:28-29 ESV / 51 helpful votes

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.


Revelation 21:4 ESV / 29 helpful votes

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
