Jesus, Take The Wheel

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

I open my eyes and see the landscape I last saw had changed. The silver Jeep was facing my car, my loud, smoking, wrecked car. A woman had unintentionally pulled out in front of me because she could not see my car coming. In a second, so much I had not forseen changed, but God knows everything!

Just the Sunday before, it was decided that I would be moving back to Florida with my mom. That in itself was a challenge. God was finally allowing me the chance to go back. However, it entails much responsibility. First, I (and my God-sisters and family) had to get over the selfish desire to stay and be closer mile wise. I am going to miss my sisters SO much!! I have been so blessed to have them. When I get to Florida,  I also have the task of finding a new church and being a light for Christ in an area where I don't know many people. This small little Georgia town only holds about 4,000 people, much less than the Spring Break Capital. I know that, in my heart, this is the way that God is leading me and I am going to do my best to do His work.

I am chosing to look at this past Friday as a blessing. It would take me a while to list all of the issues I was having with my first car. Although, I am going to miss it dearly, a woman pulled out in front of me and it is totaled. Ironically, before it happened I had acctually thought about calling my local radion station and requesting "Jesus, Take The Wheel" by Carrie Underwood. I cannot tell you now how much this song means to me. I was humming it before I realized what was happening. No one was seriously injured. Just some bumps and bruises. Thank God for that!

It has been amazing seeing just how God is working through this situation. It is sad saying goodbye to my family and friends, but I know that we will always have each other. I guess my whole reason for writing this post is to say that no matter what's going on in your life, God always has a plan for you and He always has a reason for what he does. Look to Him for everything and in everything you do.

With Love,
