When you're driving yourself in circles

Lately I feel like our lives have been pretty much like this video. We get so excited about something, but when we try doing it on our own or without any help we just find ourselves driving around in circles. I love this, because Abby was trying to drive her first bumper car but kept going in circles. All of us just kept yelling out at her to stop turning the wheel or we just laughed. How many times do we do that in our walk with other people. We just yell at them from a distance or laugh/talk among ourselves about what they are doing. The redeeming part of this video is when Matt actually moved close to Abby to explain to her how she can stop "driving around in circles". When Abby listened she stopped going around in circles and got to enjoy her ride. This video is symbolic to me because that is what Jesus does for us. He sees us driving in circles and comes down close to us to show us how we can "enjoy the ride". We just have to listen to Him.
