the clock keeps ticking

we were driving up the pacific coast highway while we watched the sun setting behind the ocean's horizon. i was driving. i probably shouldn't have been watching as much as i did. we were making endless curves around mountainous hills to our right, and cliffs hanging over the ocean on our left. it didn't allow much room for sight seeing from the drivers seat. so we had to pull over several times so i could take all of the beauty in and enjoy it too. what should have been an 8 hour drive, ended up being a 12 hour drive to San Francisco! this is just one experience of the many beautiful moments we had on our road trip. there are many stories and pictures to share.

do you ever feel behind? i often feel like i'm in the driver's seat...and there's no time to watch and enjoy the beauty of life around me because I have to get to my destination! time is of essence! after two weeks of travels, i feel behind in so many ways. i've slowly been catching up on emails, laundry, phone calls ... the list carries on ... and to more serious things as well (and keeping up with blogs doesn't help either.) i suppose that just puts into perspective why i've heard it said, "let Jesus be in the driver's seat." as cliche as this sounds, i really would rather have the creator of the universe do the driving so i can sit back and enjoy the ride.
