    Laurie, thank you! I loved this segment! Yes I definitely have some controllers in my life. I’ve got my brother in my family who likes to tell me how I should live my life. He has always been controlling and for years I hated him. He still tries to control me every now and then but I have learned to listen to God and no one else, for He knows what is best for me and He knows where I am heading in life.

    Awesome series Laurie! I have forwarded this link to some of my counseling clients who need extra support in dealing with difficult people. Your series has helped me deal with some difficult clients too! And of course I “ouch” see myself…!

    Laurie this is SO right on. And, “”Thank You”” again for taking a stand on our Rock, Father God, to say……..”do it His way & NO other”. I’ve had these situations in my life both by Christians & non Christian & I can tell you it was heart wrenching to go through. BUT by & in the Grace of God I was able to LOVE these “controllers” to an understanding that I could not be moved. These circumstances weren’t solved in a matter of weeks or months but in “”””years””””. And, I can’t tell you how many times & after many tears I wanted to give up. But no, our Father tells us to “fight the good fight” to & for victory in Him. And if we persevere, JOY really does come in the morning. Thank You Father God……every day! 😉

    Reblogged this on Debrincon's Blog and commented:
    I know that we all must deal with difficult people constanly especially if you work of ride public transportation. It’s had been very difficult for me to deal with them in the past.? But now that I am more able to deal with difficult people things are much more peaceful for me. You too can learn to control your emotions I did.

    Hi Laurie, Another great message that I needed! Thanks so much! I tend to attract a lot of controllers as friends and I also don’t want to be a controller in someone else’s life. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week! 🙂
