JESUS take the Wheel!!!

Sometimes I wish someone would just take the wheel over my life. I am driving my car of life and sometimes I get lost. Sometimes I pull over. Sometimes my Co-Pilot isn’t doing their job. Sometimes my Co-Pilot changes. I even have times where its been me driving by myself down a dark road with very little light and no destination insight. I know I was giving a driver’s license which means I know how to drive but sometimes I wish I knew a better way, a simple way to get where I want to be. A way without detours, accidents, traffic or speed limits that no one adheres to. Sometimes its discouraging to see others that you did start the drive with surpass you with their big luxurious car. Hahaha they just wave to you as they leave you in the dust. You try not to look and you look down to put on your shades. Or how about the Co-Pilot that wasnt doing a good job gets in their own ride and now they have a new Co-Pilot. I scratch my head at that one too.  There are times where I put this thang into cruise control because I’m at a comfortable pace but that never lasts too long. I pull over sometimes to regroup because at that moment I have lost my way. I’m trying not to panic and I don’t want to keep burning gas and become stuck without reaching my destination. At this point in my life I’ve pulled over. I got my son in the backseat and Shit I don’t know where I’m going. I can’t be out here to late. I’m limited in snacks and food but momma had to pull over.

In life it will be necessary to pull it over, take a time out and collect your thoughts. Look at the road map. Call your Aunty or a good friend that is good with directions and knows how to guide you. What happens when you don’t trust anyone enough to direct you or you just don’t have that person to direct you? You do it ALONE!!!!

I imagined myself to be in a different road with a different car with more of a stable road. But this ain’t that and I’m here talking about “Jesus take the wheel”. I’m being funny but I know Jesus can’t take the wheel and I know no one else would do that either. It’s my car and I’m the Captain. I dont know how long I will be on the side of this road but it will be until I figure out where I’m going and the best way to get there. I’m content with that and I’m no longer worried about who passes me and what they are driving. Those are not my concerns. I learned to not depend on Co-Pilots because they don’t know my car and what it is capable of and sometimes they are sitting up front because it looks good. So I rely on me and blame me for my mistakes.

So if u happen to see me on the side of the road know that I’m ok and just say a little prayer for me.
