Jesus Take The Wheel

I was traveling yesterday and was literally inches from what could have been a devastating wreck. I swerved almost hitting the guardrail while cars all around swerved different directions to not all hit. Talk about heart stopping and taking your breath away. It took a good while to get composed. Life has a way of doing this! Are you floating through life with no direction, not doing anything productive or making a difference? Stuck in your job, stuck in relations, stuck in your mind? Why does it take a catastrophic event to wake us up? Why does it take losing someone we love dearly to realize what they meant to us? Why does it take losing our job to realize our spending is out of control? Why does it take our kids leaving home to wish we had spent more time with them? Why does it take us facing surgery or a lifetime of meds to wake up and get healthy? Let’s wake up right now and start before something catastrophic happens.

This year, I have watched someone in my life literally fall apart and spiral out of control when their spouse left after 40 some years of marriage because they apparently thought they could treat them any way, and the other person would stay forever. How incredibly sad. How incredibly sad to get to that stage of life and your whole world blow up in your face? Those years should be years of travel and fun and happiness. Why do they call them the Golden Years? Because those are supposed to be some of your best years of life!

Do we not realize that Gods got a plan for our lives and it’s bigger and better than we ever dreamed! We were not put here for lack and mediocrity. We were meant to live happy, fulfilled lives that make a difference and leave a legacy for someone. We were meant to love ourselves and love others.

So today it is short and sweet and I say Jesus take the wheel of my life and design it with purpose. I want to help others, I want to inspire someone else to get out of their rut and start living! See beyond your current situation and trust you can make it out NOW!

With love for you all!
