Jesus, Take the Wheel

I wrote this to a friend who is starting on a similar journey of balance in her own life.

“Listen to that gentle whisper God is speaking to your heart and see where He wants you to let go. Writing and the critique group was one of the hardest things I had to let go of, but I believe the relationships we built will remain in tack. I’ve “also given up” on publication, after being driven for two years because no matter how fast I drive, He’s the one that steers me down the road. I can take it slow and listen to His directions or put the pedal to the metal and take many wrong turns.”

How true that last statement is:

No matter how fast I drive, He’s the one that steers me down the road. I can take it slow and listen to his directions or put the pedal to the metal and take many wrong turns.

But I guess the problem comes in when I start to look elsewhere for answers. Sometimes it’s hard to hear God’s voice when your kid’s and everyone else’s voice is screaming in your ears. It’s what my momlit character Donna is going through. She buys all the latest books on parenting and homeschooling, looking for the answer to all her problems when she already has THE ANSWER. Sounds a little bit like my life. Maybe by the end of the book Donna and I will both be able to turn off the background noise and tune into the VOICE that knows the way in which I should go.

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
