CASH FOR CLUNKERS..........I QUALIFY
IF MY BODY WERE A CAR...
If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish, and my paint job is getting a little dull. But that's not the worst of it. My headlights are out of focus, and it's especially hard to see things up close.
My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.
My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.
But here's the worst of it --
Almost every time I sneeze, cough or laugh, either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.
As we enjoyed some quick family time at an indoor water park resort this week. I got the pleasure of riding the "Howlin Tornado" this water slide has a 100 foot drop into a bowl of rapids. My first time down I was facing backwards; so I did not know what was coming. I was okay though because I had the assurance that the ride was safe or the resort could not allow people to go on it.
I thought about the many roads I take in life and how many times I can not see what is ahead of me. I know that God has a life plan for me, and it is good not to bring me harm. But I must confess that all to often I am not at peace trusting in Him, I am too busy trying to manipulate my own turns.
How about you? Are you trusting of God's plans when you are in a drop zone or are you trying to turn it your way?
