Why do we think we are in control?

Could someone tell me why we think we are in control? This is a huge stumbling block for me. I like to be in control and do all things myself, that way I know they are being done the way I want them done. Why do we find it so hard to trust God and allow Him to take care of things? He tells us that HE will take on all of our burdens if we just let him. So....why don't we? I don't have the answers, but I struggle with this issue greatly. As you know, I have started a new job, am pregnant, and we are building a house all at once. Whew! People often ask Rusty and I, "What were you thinking". Our answer is, it was not our choice. God is allowing us to build a house and has blessed us with a child. We see it as a blessing, not as a tragic life altering time in our lives. Last night Rusty and I had a little talk (which we don't get to do very often anymore because we are both so busy). The house thing, as well as other stressors not mentioned, are really starting to get to my Russ. Now, most of you know that he is very easy going and laid back all of the time. He usually has to calm me down. The house is about to push him over the edge. Anyway, during our dicussion, we had to remind ourselves that God is in control of all things and He is allowing us to experince these wonderful, but trying times, for a reason. It has been a roller coaster ride for both of us over the past few months and it is starting to wear on us. We are going to make it and have faith that God is going to provide. Keep us in your prayers during these last few weeks of my pregnancy and building a house.

On a lighter note (not much lighter), I had another doctors appointment yesterday (37 weeks) and no exam! I still have no idea if I have made any progress or if labor is close. I think my doctor is trying to torture me! Ha. As long as my little monkey is healthy I am good with that. We go back next week and might actually leave with a little knowledge. I am counting down the days and can't wait. The thought of seeing Jameson's little face is the only thing that keeps me going some days! Thanks for reading and keep praying!
