On not meddlesome, in control

"Shall He not exercise control over our lives and our actions? If we are threatened by the thought, we are ignorant of His purposes and wise in our own conceits. To invite His control is to safeguard our spirits from destruction. To recognize that He desires to rule over us and will do so with diligence and integrity and love is the basic requirement for activating His authoritative power in our lives. What vast blessings we forfeit when we insist on holding this power ourselves! In the final end, He will rule us anyway; but what about this present moment? Can we not benefit greatly by invoking His control in all our daily living?" --Total Love

Lately I have been realizing more and more that everything in life is under the control of God. This has made everything I experience so much more exciting. When something unexpected happens, I can rejoice that this surprise is all part of the adventure God has planned for me.

On suggestions please

Wanna help?? For my Sociology class, we're beginning a project for which I have to choose just one song that is going to be "my song." This song is supposed to tie significantly to my life and who I am. I have a few in mind, but wouldn't mind suggestions. If you think of some thing that would be good for me to use, let me know. Bonus: for a few days, I get to listen to my MP3 player in class...bet you're jealous...
