God has recently been telling me to write in my blog. So out of faithfulness, here I am writing. I want to share an update/ realization in my life. I know in the past about God and cars, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, go back and read! Anyways, on to what God has been teaching me,
Let Him drive your car in life.
I don’t mean actually take your hands of the steering wheel while you’re driving down the interstate, that would not be good. What I’m saying is let God take control of your circumstances, relationships, finances, career, EVERYTHING. At first it’s going to seem a little weird to give someone else control of your life. It’s like letting someone drive your car and there going a way that you’re not used to at all. During those times you want to say to God, “where are you going, are you using Waze or something” But trust me once you let God take control it all makes sense.
Recently in my life I began to let go of my strong grip on my steering wheel in life, and let God become my driver, and I just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Here’s what I mean by that, In December 2018 I graduated college. I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. Was I going to go to grad school? Was I going to get a job? These are questions that I asked myself and others asked me as well. These were questions that kept me up at night and kept me very busy applying for jobs and graduate school. My life verse has always been Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” But putting it into action was so hard for me.
After much thought and prayer, I realized, I genuinely have no idea only God knew what was going to happen in my life. Once I let go of that anxiety that was gluing me to the driver’s seat and let God take over, things got so much better. I realized I have done absolutely everything that I could do to prepare myself for a job and graduate school and I have to let God do the rest of the work.
In February after I gave some control over to God, and I got a job as an SLPA. I was so excited at first, then I was like wait God what about graduate school, what about a boyfriend, etc. Eventually I let go again and God blessed me with an amazing Christ-Centered Boyfriend, funny that his name is Christian, but still wanted a little control of the wheel. Then BOOM road block, “you’ve been put on the wait list for distance education at the university of south Carolina”, is what I read sitting at a picnic with my boyfriend, lot tears and anger came out. God this isn’t right, are you using Waze? What’s going on? Luckily I was with Christian during the time I read this email he took my hand and we just prayed about it. This prayer began to rip my final fingers off the steering wheel.
Through the next coming weeks I finally let go of the steering wheel that I was still holding on a little too tight to. Weeks passed and I got an email that stated that I was off the wait list. When I got the email, I didn’t even have much emotion, because I wasn’t so worked up on being in control. Here I realized I need to continue to
Just let God Drive
He doesn’t need a copilot, backseat driver, or even a GPS to tell Him where to go. He’s got it under control in my life as well as yours. God is continuing to show His faithfulness in my life and I hope to share more with you soon! Thank you all for reading!
