I took a walk this morning and thought about how hard it is for me to let God take over. I want to be in control! :) Your post just reinforced what I needed to hear today. Thank you for that. Thanks for the quote too. I'm going to add it to my collection of quotes.

What wonderful questions you posed, & made us all think too! You reminded me of hours ago when I read Nancy's post, writing that she was revising her life, so I connected with yours, to see that the question needs to be asked of who is holding the pen?
