Don't think and drive?

So I almost ran the red light last Friday...this is something I have always been afraid of doing. While driving I tend to "think" too much...there I was again, my thoughts drifting away for the reason that there was something on my mind that day, I could not really focus on anything at all. As I was driving on Main Rd. I never realized speeding up to 50 mph on a barely 1/4 mile stretch before the next traffic light which turned I-don't-even-know-when red.
I discovered that in the last second avoiding a massive crash into another car. I stepped on my break, foot on the floor, ABS crunching under my toes, tires squealing and smoking, skid marks behind me, people staring at me...and me, myself scared to death, running a cold sweat on my back, embarrassed, humiliated and mostly guilty feeling...

What have I almost done? I was so mad at myself...but at the same time soooo thankful to God...I knew I just clipped the angel's wings...but God is so good. He protects His people.

Thank you Lord! Thank you!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!! I kept repeating as I went on and paid more attention suddenly realizing the possible consequences...
No thinking when driving, I mean no "deep" thinking...or better yet, stay focused ON driving...not on other things no matter how painful, important, romantic, scary they are...when you are driving YOU BETTER THINK OF DRIVING DEFENSIVELY....otherwise, stay home, moron! 

End of story. Good night.

Let go, let God...

So how do we let go off something we really care about?
How do we let go off things that mean the world to us?
How do we let go off feelings?
How do we let go off love?
It is easy to say, easy to give as an advice...but very hard to do.
I had to let go today, and I still am not fully prepared for this. I am still processing. In this turmoil of feelings and emotions, where my brain is trying to step in and make a point, I am learning as well.
Letting go means absolutely. Unconditionally. No exceptions.
If you are trying to let go off something God tells you to (and trust me you know it is what He wants you to do, not to mention the fact that your own consciousness is telling you that), you must do it. No matter how much you care, no matter how much it means to you, no matter how much you feel about it, no matter how much you love it.
Letting go MEANS LETTING GO!
Surrender.
Let God mend your heart if you give him all the broken pieces. He can do that. Trust me.
I am sitting here in silence as I am trying to absorb it.
I am waiting for God's Spirit to talk to me.
I am waiting.
I can't wait God starts mending me up.
I am all broken up.
I wanna be new.
Letting go means LETTING GOD in.
An invitation.
Allowing the Lord come to your life, using you the way He wants, so you can take the full benefit.
It will all be good at the end.
By letting God control our lives we are no losers. We have no clue what plans God has, but we sure know God's plans are perfect.
By allowing Him to step in we are up to a new adventure. We don't need to know...let us be surprised.
We are going to be renewed in Him.
So I am here...slowly surrendering my "thing" I had to let go...and letting the God come in, quietly...
I trust Him completely.
I have the hope.
I have the faith.
Love will come. In its right time, in its perfect timing. Not being one minute late.


Let go....Let God.

Stand Still...........Listen

I was listening to our pastor last Sunday, and I must say I love when he preaches. He just glows :) if you know what I mean. There is passion for Christ in his heart, and he hits it right on the target. I know for sure, Holy Spirit comes through instantly as he speaks, and you could hear a pin drop.

So he was speaking about how this world got so busy, and self-centered, and how we are forgetting the basics, and now how we battle the stress, failure, and confusion...how we face daily challenges, obstacles in lives, conflicts in our relationships, confusion, hysteria and last but not least the fear. 

He spoke about how we try to handle the situation our way, how we try to solve all of our problems, and how we complain of not knowing what to do or where to start...

What really got stuck in my mind were the words..........STAND STILL............LISTEN.......When the life gets hard on you, and you don't know what to do, where to start, how to proceed, just STAND STILL, and LISTEN...let the God speak to you through HOLY SPIRIT....in that loud silence, His word sounds so clear, and you will see clearly, you will know exactly what to do. God wants to be in control, God cares for you, so........STAND STILL..........LISTEN!
