I worked with a teacher once that had to have everything their way. I can remember one time when our schedule was changed she freaked out. Got upset about it. This teacher got upset at anytime the schedule would get changed. I don't think that she liked change at all.
I went to a church once were this one couple in the church was basically let to be in charge of everything. If something went wrong or something happened to upset their order of things they would get upset. I can remember once that some of the ladies in church decided to have a good by lunch for the pastor who was leaving their church. They didn't consult the couple and boy did they get mad. The lunch was canceled because the couple really didn't like the pastor.
My advice to people like this is to get over it. You don't have to be in control of everything. Someone once told me that if a person has to be in control of everything then they are covering something up. A person needs to start by getting control of their lives before they start to control others.
If you have to have control of everything then people will start to resent you. You will lose friends and people will not want to be around you.
My opinion is that the only person that really should be in control is God. If he is not in control of things then there is something wrong. God has to be in control for things to work.
I have noticed that a lot of people that want to be in control don't have God in their lives. They push him away. They even push people away that believe in God. That is just wrong. They need to let God in before it is too late. They will self destruct without him.
So if you are one that has to have total control I urge you to take a step back. Evaluate the situation. Get control of your life and then let God take control of the rest. Things will be better that way.
