Let Him Drive

Have you ever just watched in awe as pieces of your life fall together more perfectly than you could have ever put them together? Like you're standing on the outside for a minute just watching the Lord work His wonders? I've felt like that a lot lately. I believe that we really have no idea the beauties and blessings the Lord has in store for us if we just let Him work in our hearts, in our lives. Sometimes, though, the process requires us to let go of our tight grip on the steering wheel and let Him take a turn driving. Those few moments when we think no one is at the wheel can be terrifying. But, when we finally find the courage look up at the road ahead, we realize His able hands were there all along, gently coaxing us to let Him steer - gently reminding us that He knows the way when we don't. And, when we just don't find the courage to go His way, He let's us repent, He stands by us as we attempt to change. He let's us try again, and again, and again. He even sent his beloved Son to save us from our own foolish pride. I cannot image a Being any more worthy of our love and worship, and any more capable of showing us the way Home.

A favorite quote:
"Yes, men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, raise up friends, and pour out peace" (Ezra Taft Benson, “Jesus Christ—Gifts and Expectations,” Ensign, Dec 1988, 2).

A favorite scripture:
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
"In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."(Proverbs 3:5-6)

This Christmas season maybe our gift to Him could be to let Him drive.

Merry Christmas Season!!

Hello to all who thought we had fallen off the face of the earth. I took a not-so- brief haiatus from the blogging world, but now wish to rejoin it. We took family pics in August, which I have yet to post, so let's start there:




This is a little sampling. Our friend Jill took these amazing photos. She's so talented. Check out her work at www.daytewdayphotography.blogspot.com.
