This song ripped my heart out, tossed it on the ground, stomped on it a few times, and then shoved it back in. Ouch. Seriously, I realized this morning on the way to school how much I've been trying to do things all on my own. I've been trusting my own strength and smarts to try and get through life. I need to let go of the wheel and let God do His work in me.
"Jesus Take The Wheel"
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It's been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way to fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up in the air
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the wayI've been living my lifeI know I've got to change
So from now on tonight
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my ownI'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Oh, Jesus take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, oh

Sarah,
You and me - we're control freaks. I think God's growing me in that area - He just has to pry my fingers off instead of 2x4ing me and then prying my fingers off :). Just remember - He keeps atoms together, and we are headless grasshoppers ;).
I love that song.
Thanks Leila. I know God will do alot to help us trust Him and give our life into His hands. Ya, I think right now He's 2x4ing me.
