My Controlling Self

I believe God is trying to teach me something about my control and anger.  I've found that I've been under the impression that I think I have relinquished control in all areas to God, but He keeps finding new ways to point out to me that I haven't.  I am a perfectionist; I know that.  I like things the way I like them; I know that. I am particular about how things get done; I know that.  I don't like to let people do things that I know I can do well; I know that.  It's not pretty.  It's not nice.  It's not grace-filled.  It's not good.  When others try to help, or do something within my little world, I am completely annoyed if what they do doesn't make sense to me or doesn't fit my expectations.  This is not okay.  It's the next step that I am asking God to work on in my life.  I am in desperate need of the Spirit to come into my life and fix my controlling self.  I never saw it as an issue until I saw what kind of ugly frustration it causes me.  I want to see the grace-filled Abbie God created in all areas of life, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
