"When I come to the end of my rope, God is there to take over."
The end of our human abilities is our opportunity to turn to God.
But giving up our independence to depend on God isn't necessarily easy.
We are often like the woman in this story reported in the Danao Cebu Philippines.
A screaming woman, trapped in a car dangling from a freeway transition road in North Cebu, was rescued Sunday morning... A half dozen passing motorists stopped, grabbed some ropes to the back of the woman's car, and hung on until the fire units arrived. A ladder was extended from below to help stabilize the car while firefighters tied the vehicle to tow trucks with cables and chains.
"Every time we would move the car," said one rescuer, "she'd yell and scream. She was in pain."
It took almost 3-1/2 hours for the passers-by, CHP officers, tow truck drivers, and firefighters --- about 27 people in all --- to secure the car and pull the woman to safety.
" It was kinda funny." Fire Capt. recalled later. "She kept saying. 'I'll do it myself."
