If you are going through a crisis right now, hang on.  If you have just survived a crisis, praise the Lord.  We only have control of a few things in our life. The older I get, the less interested I am in controlling my life.  I prefer to be still and know...

One of my clients shared with me one day, that she "finally passed the nursing exam."  I was excited for her, because she shared she had failed the first time.  I said, "Praise the Lord, God is good."  She quickly responded, and corrected me, "God had nothing to do with this, I did it all myself."  Hmmmm....... I'm not sure how long she will be able to survive with that mentality, but I can tell you from personal experience, I would never try to "do it myself."  I spent several years thinking I could do it myself. 

Now, even I know better!
