However, I have matured and have self control when it comes to soap operas! When we deliberatly think about things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy as stated in Philippians 4:8 we are self controlled and God will bring peace to our lives. When we have peace it is because we are submitted to Him. Thank you for your words and I always enjoy your humor. MOM Yes, I admit I was watching Days of our Lives when you came home from school.

It is so true and freeing, to know that when we give complete "control" to God, He takes it and makes it easier through His Spirit for us to have self-control. As I think back to times when I have fully submitted an area of my life to Him, that is when I felt most in control of my actions in that area. And, ironically, watching soaps was one of those areas :) Thanks, Krista, for sharing your insights with us!

What a great illistrations relating this to Days of Our Lives. I love when you said, "When we are fully submitted to God and release every area of our life to Him, it becomes difficult to lose control." How true is that. I also loved the Bible story that you talked about. I love what you had to share in regards to self control. What a great illistrations relating this to Days of Our Lives.
