Who is in the Driver's Seat?

Recently in a Sunday sermon the pastor referenced the programs at church, and, especially, the small groups. They are designed to support, and they are not designed to do the work or create the program or be what I refer to as the driver in your life. They are points of interest on a Christian road map. Yet, each individual is designed to be their own driver.

If in your life the driving has been left to someone else, then you are likely, using them as an excuse for not being the person you want to be. Consider stepping into the driver's seat in a different fashion. It is no longer the other person's fault for cutting you off. By thinking differently, making it my responsibility the thoughts shift to, "Perhaps I was following too close and did not leave enough room." This is not a victim's thought, it is a relaxed person's thought.

Yet this is not the driver's seat I was originally referring to. Wake up tomorrow morning, with the idea that YOU are the driver and are able to change direction both literally and figuratively.

Happy Travels!!!!
