NO!
LET
Journal Entry from
Ok, so as each day passes my life seems to be speeding up faster and faster. And I really did try to let God drive and just go along for the ride from the passenger’s seat for awhile.
And at the worse possible moment I reached over yesterday and grabbed a hold of the steering wheel and our car went spinning out of control until it came to a dead stop, pointing back towards the way from which I have come.
And I had to sit there for a long time contemplating…do I really want to go back to what I know because it is safe…or do I want to let God help me turn this car back around and keep going forward towards where I wanna go, even tho I don’t know exactly how it will unfold?
To be honest, I was rather pissy and told God I would get back with Him in the morning because as He is well aware…
NO! I don’t wanna go back.
But I am NOT
So…let me sleep on it and I will get back with you in the morning!
So I woke up this morning and told God ~ Fine. Let’s go forward.
And what I got back was… Dude, just keep looking out the front windshield. Focus on where we are going. I’ll point out when you need to look right or left or backwards for info. Just stay focused on where it is we are going, relax and enjoy the ride.
So, we are all in the car again. God’s driving. I am in the passenger seat. And isn’t this lovely?
But this time, I am putting on my seatbelt!
Because I know me and I will grab for the wheel again…I am hoping the seatbelt will hinder me some. I also hope next time I am able let go, even if it is only in the nick of time, before we have to spin out of control and come to a complete stop again.
Yeah…course correction while still going forward…that would be nice!
Plus the other way just makes me way too dizzy and un-centered.
I know that I don’t want to go back.
I know where we are going.
I just gotta let go and let God really drive, which stinks because I really do love to drive!
That and I really just need to sit back, white knuckles and all, and learn how to enjoy the ride.
Oh goodie, won’t this be fun.
I am either gonna make it to the other side…or die trying…because I am not going backwards!
And you can take that to the bank, Lisa Vaden.
Until next time,
Lisa
PS: When you become angry, anxious or scared…
A great book that can help you with releasing the stress is my book May I Have This Dance, Little One? God’s Whispers.
Just a thought.
