Only God can truly answer this question…

So today while perusing my FB page, I stumbled upon a test that asked this question: How Awesome Are You? Well, being the curious person that I am, I decided it was important to find out “scientifically” how awesome I really was… 😉 .  I clicked the link and took the test, the results. I am… 99% Awesome. I am sure right about now you’re all thinking, “Well, duh… you can’t argue with science…” 😉 Okay, probably not. After I took the test (and got my laughter under control) it dawned on me how silly we are as a people to try and quantify things. How can you figure out awesomeness? How can you quantify smart, stupid, happy, sad? You can’t. All these emotions, feelings, and actions are felt and exhibited by ALL human beings. We ALL fluctuate between moments of extreme awesomeness and moments of absolute stupidity. They can NOT be quantified or even properly defined.  Why? Because only God knows the “TRUE” heart of man.  Then I had this thought, “If we know it is illogical why do we do it?” (Yup, I thought a lot today… my head currently hurts). The only answer that seemed to fit was: To have control. We human being like control, don’t believe me. Have you ever fought over control of the TV remote, when you really didn’t have a show you wanted to watch? Have you ever gotten upset when someone told you to do something you already planned on doing? Control. We all want to have it. We like to know our strengths and our weakness. We want to call our own shots. The problem with control is that it can never be completely held or owned by any human, not even by the most powerful of mankind. There is only one person who can claim complete and totally control, and that is GOD. Here is the truth fighting for control only leaves us unfulfilled and needing more. Because no matter how much control we have it will never be enough. My advice live life and leave the controlling to God. He’s the only one with COMPLETE control. He will get us to our “real” awesomeness 🙂 .

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings” (Jeremiah 17:9-10).

Lesson: Stop fighting for control. it is a losing battle. God is creator, controller, and chief executive office (CCCEO). Uhmmm, let Him do His job.
