“Jesus take the wheel”

OK, before I type this I have to tell you that this is all true, this really happened to me last night. Let me know if you think God was trying to get my attention?

Last night on the way back from my SA meeting I had thoughts going on in my head, you know the ones that you don’t want to entertain but seem to be there regardless. In my INSANE mind I also thought for a second maybe, just maybe, one more encounter, after all it has been a rough week and I am so down with all my financial problems and stress from other things. You have to love those INSANE THOUGHTS!

At that moment (and I kid you not) a transformer I was passing exploded, I mean EXPLODED, sparks were flying like the 4th of July! The transformer hit the side of my vehicle then the electric line smacked my windshield shooting a bolt of lightning in the air (I thought I was dead)! All I could think to do was to floor the gas peddle and pray the song that Carrie Underwood sings “Jesus take the wheel”. I made it through and was only one block from home so I got there as fast as I could my heart pounding faster than I could drive, when I got home all the electricity was out until about 3:30 am.

Do you think God was sending me a message?

Um, can anyone say "uh, yeah... duh"

Oh, sorry, was that me, thinking out loud?

So, I should think that, perhaps, yes - the Lord was probably helping you make a better choice!

Blessings to you.

Oh, hey, I'm Barbie.

  Today I was talking with a friend of mine and it feels so good that I can relay how I really like the changes God has placed in my life this past year. In my journey I discovered I was the biggest problem in my life. I’m not trying to sound spiritual in any way shape or form, but God is shaping me into a totally different person. The things I love to do are totally different, the things that I find funny are totally different. I don’t have to be the center of attention to make people like me because most of my life I thought I was unlikable. God has shown me how to love myself and not hate who I am. That makes all the difference in the world. So I’m telling you all this, because I’m finding that my relationships with other people are so much better now https://www.intentionalguy.com/

TRUSTING GOD, right now!

The last few weeks my Pastor has been preaching on the life of David, I never realized how screwed up (and like me) David was. Yet he was a man after Gods own heart only seeking through his own restoration to find a closeness with God. Pastor brought out how David knew if he was to find restoration he would only need to do one thing and that would be to trust God. I went to the alter today and told God I want true restoration and to fully trust him through all these things I have no power or control over and know that He will provide for me and take care of me. Well, after the service was done I went out to my truck to go home and it would not start, another man in the church tried to help me jump-start my truck but nothing. After a short period of checking out the engine and looking like I knew what I was doing (which I didn't) I thought I would try one more time to restart it and next thing I knew my truck catches on FIRE! Now I could really be discouraged and let this defeat me ...

He will also provide a way out

I am growing with each new day even through the midst of heartache and despair. I am learning to surrende r one day at a time to God so that I may glorify him; this is a new way of life for me that will take some time to fully learn but Iam surrendered to doing. Tonight I went to my SA meeting and shared with the guys about the sermon on Sunday and as I told them the story you could see the new guy across from me tearing up. On his face you could see him longing for what I had just experienced. Wow, it was not to long ago that I was sitting in his chair; my heart goes out to him! There were many triggers though for me as I went through out my day but the great thing about this is that I was able to see at the end of the day that God was there for me and I did not face these things alone. I am now beginning to understand the passage in 1 Corinthians 10:13 in the NIV tells us, “ No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted...
