It is a wonderful feeling to get behind the wheel for your first driving lesson. I felt extremely happy when Milicent told me to drive. So I pressed down the clutch, turned the car on, began adding gas while releasing the clutch slowly. I however released the clutch too much and the car died. After 30 days of learning, i was able to start the car and drive around somewhat. 30 days in itself does not really give you much practice, so how qualufied are you as i driver? When i got my temporary driving license, i felt like no one could stop me or stand in my way. I felt qualified to role with the big guys, along with crazy matatu drivers. Hahahaha. Milicent always called me the “matatu driver” (SMILE). Although i was qualified, was i ready to take the risks and protect life? When you are given that license, you are automatically handed the lives of all users in your hand. You are handed the responsibility to protect your life and that of other road users. Many times, unplanned accidents happened because we made a decision not to take care of someone’s life. Over Christmas, i came to understand that most accidents are caused by 16-17 year olds. When they receive a car for their 16 or 17th birthday, they go on high speed on the roads, putting their lives, passengers and other road users’ lives at risk. When you sit behind that wgeel, you are likely to cause accidents you didn’t plan. In the same way, when your parents set you free from home, you are allowed to make your own choices. You might choose to squander your money on sweet nothings or get unwanted pregnancy. Those are accidents of life. When you hold the wheel of hour life, the choices you make are determined by you and no one will take responsiblity for the outcome of your life. You are making the choices, and the accidents that come ftom those choices are yours alone. However, when you allow an expert to hold that wheel for you, lets say your driver, your parents and above all, God, you are likely to have less accidents. When I sit behind the wheel of my life, I tend to make a mess of it. When i try to do things of my own wheel, i fall flat on my face. When I allow God to sit behind the wheel of my life, he helps me follow his instructions, so that i can be a better driver. I find myself making less accidents or none at all. Joseph allowed God to have the wheel of his life. He allowed God to sit in the driver’s seat, because he knew that if he drove his own life, he would cause unwanted accidents. He was sold because of jealosy, too handsome to be passed by his master’s wife and too smart to waste his talent in prison. God took care of him because he allowed him to drive.
