Something I've always struggled with was not being in control. In big and little ways, I have always wanted to be in control. It's something I'm still learning to let go of.
Needing to be in control can really mess things up. For me, it was really hurting my marriage and my relationship with the Lord. Thinking that I could do it all on my own, thinking that I truly could control the outcome of things, was hurting myself. It was making me anxious and angry when things didn't work the way I wanted them to. And if were being honest, I'm still in that place. I'm still learning to let go and let God, because I truly can't do it all.
This season of life hasn't been easy. Actually, it's been the hardest that we've ever had to walk through. This tough season has brought so much goodness though, and through it I have grown as a mom, a wife and a child of God.
You know what I've had to let go of? Control. I simply can not control the things of this world, and I've decided I don't want to. Praise the Lord that it's in His control!
The past month and a half, I have seen the number 222. I wake up at 2:22am for multiple nights. I see it in the afternoon. I see it on tiktok likes or comments. I didn't really think a whole lot of it, kind of just thought of it as a God wink. Then I saw it again... and I HAD to know what the meaning behind 222 was.
"Acts 2:22 is unique for containing the words "signs, miracles, and wonders" in the same verse. Seeing 222 may be interpreted as a divine prompt to cry out for these signs, or a validation that God is working in these ways."
"In Biblical numerology, the number 222 is often seen as a sign of divine intervention, encouraging faith, and trust in God's timing"
When I read that, I couldn't believe that God was speaking to me so clearly. For weeks, right in front of my eyes, was the encouragement from God that I was needing! God is working in my life, and instead of trusting Him, I've been sitting in my own anxiety and worry. I KNOW my God has good plans for me and for my family and I KNOW that he is working all things out for His goodness.
Trusting in God and his timing and control over my life. How amazing is our Heavenly Father! I'm learning that as nice as my plans for my life sound, I know that God's will for me is SO much better. Trusting in His timing, having Joy in the hardships, and sitting in the Lords unfailing love for me is all I can control. And that's all I want to control.
Thank you Jesus for your goodness.
