CONTROL FREAKS
We all have a little control freak in us. That part of you that obsessively checks social media, reads too much into her tone, rehearses fights in your head that may never happen, or catastrophizes every situation. The biblical story of Jacob is about a life formed by fear, manipulation, and that compulsive need to keep things from slipping out of our hands. Because sometimes the more control we try to gain, the more control we actually lose. Maybe true freedom begins when our white knuckles become open hands…
This is Control Freaks.
