Micro-management. Micro-management is oh so tempting! I want to control, I want to manipulate, I want to impact a decision or result. The temptation to unnecessarily micro-manage is one antithesis to trust. In micro-managing we think our world is in order and that we have a handle on it. One small thing can send it spinning and we’re back to the manipulating, controlling and the wonderful self-blaming. When we have not micro-managed something well we blame ourselves for being incompetent, not together and sometimes stupid. When we micro-manage we expect so much of ourselves, things that God is not asking or expecting of us. Pay attention to those things you are frantic to micro-manage. Why? Are you really supposed to? How can you trust God instead?

So me! Tough to stop doing.
