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 to 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


i put music on the page :D Jesus Take The Wheel by Carrie Underwood. Stasia's influence. i'm not even sure why i like it... it's just... comforting i guess. so i went to the pixie dust invitational with Anda and Talia. Anda got 2nd AA, i got 7th, Talia got 25th. i am sooo pleased for Anda, really sad for Talia and personally in bits. i know i could have done much better. my vault [8.8] was, messy and probably one of the worst i have ever done, bars was actually really good for me today [9.5] so i'm pleased with that. beam was ofcourse beam, i got 9.775 and my routine seemed to go down really well, although i am looking to make changes to my beam routine, and i'm not too sure why. floor, 8.4, i just kept sitting those tumbles down. I managed 5th on bars, 2nd on beam behind Viktoria from GSE. Anda got 5th on beam, 6th on floor and Talia got 7th on floor. so overall, a good performance by sas.

gym has been going okay, keeping at it, working hard. the girls at sas make it worthwhile getting out of bed on a morning. they really keep me going more than they could know. some days are harder than others, usually when isabel is having a bad day. when it gets really bad i come so close to just giving up i scare myself, then realise that i still want to train and compete.
i saw Zippy at the pixie dust invitational which was great. i forgot how much i missed her lol. that girl is seriously crazy! i also spent a whole day with stasia in Russia. it was a long trip but a lot of fun to just get away from everything. i've actually been thinking of taking a break, just a week or two, go visit some friends back in texas, go visit my darling Anna, spend a week in Romania with all my family and friends. i'm not sure if i can wait till august for the 'dead period' though. i think i just need to keep training till july then see wether i make nationals or no. it's kinda decided for me then i guess. as disappointed as i'll be at not making nationals, i can't really complain, i'm doing a lot better than i was this time last year when i has just started here. it's just frustrating sometimes i guess. anyway, im off to go hang out with anda and talia. i think we're going to go for a run on the beach... urgh did i tell you how much i love california???

te iubesc,
