Kelsey's blog, "Defensive Driving" (http://bit.ly/nbMzbt), she discusses her struggles with giving up control of her life.
"Reluctant to give God control" is a feeling I know almost everyone can relate to. It is so deeply related to the issues discussed by C.S. Lewis in "Mere Christianity". It reminds me of his writings on "Harder and Easier", how God does not want us to just prune parts of out life, or just give Him control over a few little portions of our lives, but to cut down the whole tree, give God control of everything in our lives to become successfully reliant on God's will for our life. She related her spiritual life to her addiction for driving, never letting anyone else drive, but constantly needing to be in control of the situation.
It is refreshing to know that I am not the only control freak out there.
Thanks Kelsey.
