[Faith-talk] {Disarmed} "God isn't going to give me any more than I can handle."

[Amy Ragain]

this kid really knows how it is...God doesn't ever give us more than we can handle...God helps us handle what He has given us...our job as christians is to take the talents, gifts and abilities that God has given us and to use them for His glory...to let Him be glorified in and through our lives...this kid really knows who should get the glory and praise in both the good times and the bad times...he knows its not bout him but what God is doing and is going to do through him...we could all learn from his example...I love his boldness and willingness to share his faith every time he gets the chance...lets all pray he keeps up this great example for us throughout his corear...

> Daytona 500 Champ Trevor Bayne: "God isn't going to give me any more than I can handle."
> Daytona 500 Champion Trevor Bayne held a teleconference today. It's clear that the 20 year old newly minted celebrity is a little in awe of his and his team's accomplishment this past Sunday. "I haven't had a lot of time to let it sink in yet. We've been go, go, go." Bayne said. "As soon as I get 10 seconds to slow down and it starts to hit me, it's crazy. I never knew it would be this big. I knew the 500 was huge and it's been my dream since I was five years old. But, man, this is a really cool deal that I'm getting to experience."

> Bayne continued "I always wondered what it was that separated the Daytona 500 from all the other races, why it was that it meant so much to Mark Martin that he hadn't won one yet, or when Dale, Sr., finally got his win, what was that defining factor. Now I'm starting to see it. The Daytona 500 is a big deal. It's so cool to win it. I feel so blessed, man. To have that good of a racecar, that I was in the position to be able to make the moves I made, to be guided, I can't describe how crazy it is that God surrounded me with these quality people, quality equipment, made it come together that perfect in our first-ever attempt."
> 
> On one hand, the kid gushes how shocked he was. Then he rolls out a level of maturity that is well beyond his 20 years. Last fall, Bayne was released from Waltrip Racing. He speaks with humility as he allows God's will to shape his destiny. Bayne recaps "You know, before this ever happened, I had a meeting with some of the people that are running my business stuff, running my financial and everything. My dad was involved. We sat down and we said, What is the goal of Trevor Bayne as a company, as a person, as anything? I told them, I said, The goal, this is going to sound weird, but it's not to be the best racecar driver, the most marketable, the most popular, but it's to build a platform and let God use us on the platform that He's building, which might require me to become the best racecar driver or be the most marketable or most popular, whatever it is. I just want to stand on the platform He's putting under me. That's our goal. If that's our goal, our highs and lows are going to be a lot more manageable."
> 
> Doesn't sound like a 20 year old kid. There's more. In this TMZ age, celebrity is thrust upon many people who aren't prepared to handle it. They are under the microscope, where every move is scrutinized and analyzed. Bayne talked about managing this new attention. "Well, I think that can be good and bad both ways. That's where I have to be true to who Trevor Bayne is. I don't want to have anything to hide. I want to be as public as possible and truthful as possible and be the same person I am in the media as I am away from it. I've tried to do that, try to stay humble through it all."
> 
> Bayne continued  "It is crazy how much attention has been drawn to this. I never expected it. I'm so thankful for the fact that this might help our race teams be able to find partners to go on these racecars. I had that solid white suit on for the Roush Fenway Nationwide car. That thing was not looking good. I hope this draws some more interest. You're right, it does draw some attention that might be a lot to handle, but I know that God is not going to give me more than I can handle. Might be too much for Trevor Bayne to handle, but never too much for Him to handle. There's going to be days before I made this decision to run for the Wood Brothers in Cup this year, I prayed whatever would happen would be something that would draw me closer to Him. I thought it would be because of struggles, because it would be tough. Now it's because of the success. So just have to manage the mountaintops, know there might be bad days ahead, but be excited when we do get them because this is really good for the sport and we're really excited about everything."
