Stop and take a step back and ask

I just had this massive post typed and was ready to hit "Publish Post" when something happened.  Whatever happened wasn't accidental, I did it intentionally.  I hit backspace and didn't stop until the entire thing was gone.  Every last word of it- even the title.  It was mostly a post written out of frustration and irritation about things I can't control and really don't have to be concerned about.  So I think that once it finally got out of my head, I didn't need for it to be heard anymore.  My dear friend, Lou, has a blog and I hope she'll forgive me for leading traffic her way, but she wrote this awesome post the other day.  First let me say, she's some sort of English Lit graduate so try not to be intimidated by her freaking amazing writing skills.  Second, let me say, that I adore her.  And this post has been sticking in my mind as I've been getting frustrated. 
I think she has a really good idea goin' on there about Moses.  However, I want my Moses to teach me how to handle things I can't control- like how he handled the migration of a few thousand people without really being able to control them.  I mean, they ended up wandering around for a bit and yet Moses seemed to handle things fairly well.  I can only imagine the frustration he must have felt with having answers and good ideas and trying to help and they refused to listen. 
I keep mentioning controlling things.  I don't THINK I'm a control freak.  Maybe that's not the right word to choose.  Accept?  Being able to accept things as they are?  I'm not sure.  However, I've come to some understanding about Moses.  He wasn't able to do anything without the help and guidance of his Heavenly Father, who just happens to be the same Heavenly Father I have.  So as I'm wrapping this up, I guess Moses and Lou have both taught me how to handle things- ask my Heavenly Father.
Its my spring break at school. *sigh*  Its a good time to stop and take a step back and ask.
