Unpopular opinion: I actually like driving on the freeway. Some of you are now thinking "lol wait until you drive in LA 5 o'clock traffic" jokes on you because I have and it's really not a big deal. So yes, I enjoy driving on the freeway buuuut I HATE when other people drive me. I get like mini anxiety attacks when someone else is driving the car on the freeway. I like being the one in control. I like taking the wheel and knowing where I'm going. It's a control thing. I like being in control. That was a struggle of mine when I moved to LA. I definitely was walking into the unknown when I moved here and I had to learn to let "Jesus take the wheel" *cue Carrie Underwood singing in the background*. God knew where I was going and what was going to happen. It was scary don't get me wrong.. I mean I didn't even have a car or job and I wasn't officially enrolled in school until about a few weeks before I moved. But God took care of me and I had to give up my life and let Him take control because there was no way I could do it on my own. Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
"I can't just jump into the unknown because I have health issues, financial issues, how would this be possible, I'm scared, that's just not me, etc." Okay, stop with the excuses. Also, James 4:17 "If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them." That's pretty self-explanatory, right? No? You need me to elaborate? *sighs* Okay. You know God is calling you to do something.. But you aren't doing it.. So you are disobeying Him... Make better sense? Good lets move on.
Sometimes we don't want to take that leap of faith because we don't see how what we are doing could ever work out. Matthew 19:26 "Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." There is no way you could do this on your own. You don't know what you need to get where you are going but guess who does.. That's right. God. Your Lord and Savior.
Don't let fear stop you either. If it is God's plan and purpose for your life He won't let you crash. Matthew 14:30-31 "But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, 'Lord, save me!' Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. 'You of little faith,' he said, 'why did you doubt?'"
Why are you doubting? Why are you afraid? You hear God calling you, why aren't you going? He's got this. He won't let you crash. Just give up your life to Him and let God take the wheel because He knows where to go and I promise you that if you are the one driving... You'll end up lost.
