As some of you may know I am driving alot right now...currently it's around 3000 miles per month...Back and forth to Indy 5 days. Don't get me wrong I'm very thankful for the opportunity and the ability to do so...it's just that I wish sometimes that I didn't have to exercise that ability. None-the-less, the story is that the other day I was on my way back to Lafayette, talking on the cell, and then I noticed that the mud flap on the Semi in front me was going to fly off at anytime. I'm thinking to myself...self you better back off and switch lanes before I eat this guys mud flap...Well the plan should have worked except I was unable to change lanes due to traffic and yes I ate the mud flap at mile marker 153 N. bound on I65. $500+ later my new car (less than 12K miles at the time) will be fixed. Apparently, those semi mud flaps are bigger and heavier than they look, especially when traveling at 65 mph+ I'm am very thankful to God however that I no one got hurt and insurance is picking up every penny of the damage cost!
By the way...Gknee and I are officially dating...I'm sure I'm have some pics. and fun stories soon!

I Can Dance...
I know it's late but I want to blog while the thoughts and emotions are still fresh...
God used a situation, a small trail if you will, at a good friends house to point out some areas in which He would like for me to grow. For which I'm trying to consider it pure joy...at least it is my goal.
Please let me share so that I may be more open and transparent, for I want to live in such a way to hide nothing and to be blameless.
1) Though my heart was in the right place and with the help of the Holy Spirit, I knew what to do...I failed to communicate effectively my thoughts and plans...and then when I realized that the situation was slipping out of control...I failed to act right away due to my own pride. It was like when I see a stranded vehicle on the roadside and instead of stopping and offering assistance I just fly right by, changing lanes if possible to give them more room (or is it to justify my actions by putting distance between me and the situation - Look they're way over there someone else will surly help them) Story sound familiar?
2) When I get nervous I start to stutter a bit and ramble, in that I have a hard time being direct and confrontational. Sometimes I need to be direct and not dance around an issue (I go to a baptist church and I still dance...around issues).
I try to do and act upon the right things...I just mess up sometimes. With trials brings persistence. [the only time you really fail is if you stop trying] I'm going to try to do better at communicating and putting my pride to death.
