I'm a stranger in these parts; give me clear directions. Pslams 119:19 (The Message)
Yesterday I saw a car that didn't seem to have a driver in it, cross an intersection in a moment though, a woman appeared, she apparently had been reaching to the floorboard for something as I was thinking, "Who's driving?" I try to be faithful to God and to trust God but sometimes I catch myself wondering, Who's driving?" I can't make sense of the events of this world--good or bad--and in my anxiety I try to take control of things that are not mine to control. Indeed this life on earth is fulled with loss and disappointment. When things go wrong here it feels as if no one is driving and I tend to think the Lord has forgotten me. Finally, though, I realize that I can rest easy. Even though this world is not going well, it matters little because ultimately I am not made for this world at all. I am made to be with God. And then I understand the reason God won't let me drive. he knows I can't seem to remember where we're going. (written by Carol Mead)
This came from our Church bulletin this morning. How true it is for me. Some days I have no clue where I am going, let alone where I have been. I am glad God will not let me get my hands on the steering wheel. I hope you have enjoyed it.

thank you for sharing...yes I did enjoy it
I remember the movie A Walk To Remember - and one of the lines was talking about God is like the wind - you can't see the wind, but you know it's there.
