control...

isn't it amazing what and who we give control over our lives to?

i've smiled more this week than i have in a long time, for several reasons.  i feel like maybe the last two years haven't been all a waste (socially that is).  and things began to look up :)  but when one thing goes wrong it can take down my positive emotions like a tidal wave.  how can we allow stuff like that to happen, why can't i focus more on what's good and makes me smile instead of what stresses me out and upsets me?  

how great it would be if we really could see our true value and truly see ourselves in God's eyes...
