God put us here ...

These are some of the lyrics from "The Wheel of the World" on Carrie Underwood's new CD, Carnival Ride. It's a great song that has a lot of meaning for me. Over the past couple years I have felt like I was on a carnival ride with all of the twists and turns that my life has taken. I can honestly say that I never would have put myself in this place and time but this is where God has chosen to place me. I am so humbled by the fact that when I quit trying to control my life and let Him take over the most amazing and beautiful things happen. This song will now be a continual reminder that God is in control through the highs and lows and the twists and turns of my crazy life.

God put us here on this carnival ride.
We close our eyes, never knowing where it'll take us next...
Its the wheel of the world turning around...
In the blink of an eye, it can change your life.
And it never even slows down...
It can open your heart, it can break you apart.
And it never even slows down.
Its the wheel of the world turning around.
