I have written, erased, re-written, and re-erased this CoT multiple times. I honestly can’t think of what to say. I looked it up this morning – this is the 67th workout I’ve lead. Maybe I’m just running out of things to say. Which is surprising to hear if you were ever to talk to my M.
I suppose its this. With the world seemingly out of control, LET GO. Sure, we could attempt to “Control what you can”, but even then I’ve found that to be frustrating because when that crap hits the fan, you’re exerting all this energy and telling yourself “you should be able to control this” – which leads to all kinds of misery and pain.
Truly, truly, truly, just admit to yourself that you don’t have control. Control belongs to the Creator, the one who truly can control the events of time and space. So rather than control, trust. Trust that God is in control. And when you start to feel like things are out of control, remember that the act of trust isn’t about control, it’s about faith.
You aren’t in control. At all. God is. AND HE’S ALREADY WON.

I mentioned above that 8 of the PAX that joined this morning I’ve never met in person. But I can’t wait to see them in the gloom when it’s all safe again. Such a weird time for us right now… I really hope that the gloom posts and virtual posts don’t split us up much, and that those posting in the gloom join virtual every once in a while. Would be nice.
