Jesus, Take the Wheel

Gracie started back to school this morning. I was a little sad after having her home for 2 weeks. I even reverted back to parking and walking her up to the school rather than using carline. I didn't walk her to her classroom since that's discouraged~and being a former teacher, I do understand why~but I walked her up to the sidewalk and watched while she walked up to her room. It made me happy to see Miss S come to the doorway as she & one of her classmates walked up. As usual, Miss S was cheery and welcoming, greeting them with a smile and waving at me. Gracie will have a good day.

I was floating around online this morning while eating my 'Crispy Rice' (the generic version of Rice Krispies. How much different can they be from the "real" thing?!!?) I came across a blog that I think I linked to from somebody's. I'm not even sure whose. They had a feature where a Carrie Underwood song was playing along with part of the video. I had heard this song before but only once. It is soooo good! I love it! I'm going to try to figure out how to use iTunes and download it. Chris does that all the time, so surely I can figure it out. For 99 cents a song, I'm sure gonna try! I wanted to post the words for all of you to read. I think it's a wonderful message for me to listen to first thing in the morning. I copied the below in italics from cowboylyrics.com

Artist/Band: Underwood Carrie

Lyrics for Song: Jesus, Take The Wheel

Lyrics for Album: Some Hearts

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati

On a snow white Christmas Eve

Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat

Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline

It been a long hard year

She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention

She was going way too fast

Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass

She saw both their lives flash before her eyes

She didn't even have time to cry

She was sooo scared

She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus take the wheel

Take it from my hands

Cause I can't do this all on my own

I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

To save me from this road I'm on

Jesus take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder

And the car came to a stop

She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock

And for the first time in a long time

She bowed her head to pray

She said I'm sorry for the way I've been living my life

I know I've got to change

So from now on tonight

Jesus take the wheel

Take it from my hands

Cause I can't do this all my own

I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

To save me from this road I'm on

Oh, Jesus take the wheel

Oh, I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

Save me from this road I'm on From this road I'm on

Jesus take the wheel

Oh, take it, take it from me

Oh, why, oh

Gotta go get busy with the day. I need to wash sheets, finish other laundry, clean the bathtub, write some cards, check on my Ebay auctions, etc. I'm anxious to see how much I actually get done!
