Jesus take the wheel?

So this comes from the idea that we are in a car with Jesus and rather than just letting him navigate... we actually let him take the wheel and lead us in the right direction. But how's this for an analogy:

Jesus and I are on a way to a party. He knows the way. I've got a general idea 'cause I Googled it earlier. We take off in two seperate vehicals; Jesus leads the way and I follow in my car close behind. No one can drive my car for me. I've got to do it myself, but Jesus can lead the way.

Sometimes Jesus turns off the freeway onto a frontage road and I say to myself, "Jesus, come on. What are we doing over here winding around these little roads hitting stop signs?" Just about then, I look over and see the freeway is all torn up because of construction. Traffic is at a stand-still. No way could I have known about the construction from Google. Jesus is stopped at the stop sign in front of me pointing and giving me a thumbs up as if to say, "Oh yeah, I'm good".

Other times I think Jesus is going a little too slow for my taste and I take the lead for a bit. Normally, I immediately get lost but luckily, Jesus is there with me to get back on track. Jesus kind of rolls his eyes at me, but he wants me to come to the party with him, so we continue.

Sometimes I get tired of driving and don't feel like continuing, but then I remember that Jesus' dad set this party up and it's going to totally rock. I want to go and I know that if I don't follow Jesus, I'm never going to find this place.

But sometimes I just plain zone out, don't pay attention to where I'm driving, barely avoid some accidents and then snap out of it and say to myself, "Woh! Jesus, I almost lost ya for a minute there." Inattentive driving can be very dangerous and if you crash, you could be done.

I'm always looking forward to that day when I'll have everything done by it's deadline and I'll have time to relax and just do things for fun... but I don't think that day is ever going to come.

I feel like I'm going to to better in school this year, but not because I'll stop getting things done last minute. I'll just enjoy what I'm doing more and put more effort into it. It's just that, I can see that school is going to sneak up on me and start before I'm ready again and I'm always going to be half a step behind. Maybe that's not a bad thing? I've done it pretty much all my life. But when other projects start piling up, it would be nice to be ahead.

As for my previous, audio post... I guess it got some reaction but not totally what I was looking for. That particular day I happened to be bored. My WHOLE summer wasn't boring... but some of it was. Who cares anyway... it was just me rambling on the phone. So in case you're wondering, Amanda (there's no sense in pretending that I'm not talking to you)... I really enjoyed Lifest and going to Boston was amazingly fun and I've really had a great time seeing you this summer!!!

...but sitting on my butt watching channel 3 is boring.

School is going to be fun, but also very different studying something that I enjoy. Hmm... anyway, here's hoping for a good year!
