I PASSED!!
Ok, for most people this moment happens at 16, but for me it came a little late at 19. I got my driver's license!!! I PASSED!!! ok, so that's enough excitement for one day.
When I made up my mind And my heart along with that To live not for myself But yet for God, somebody said Do you know what you are getting yourself into

I'm really nervous because I have to go take my driving test in an hour and half. I've been pacing around the house and trying to remember all the times I have to check my mirrors and signal and all those stupid rules and I just decided that I should try to calm down. I started to put soap on my toothbrush instead of toothpaste. Yeah I have some major nervousness. So I will update after I take the test and give the verdict of pass or fail. Hopefully it will not be the latter.
Went golfing for the first time yesterday. It was surprisingly fun and I'm not so horrible at it as I thought I would be. It was also rather entertaining because the people working at the golf course wanted to close early so every time we finished a hole they would turn on the sprinklers for that hole and towards the end they would turn on the sprinklers right before we got to a hole that we wanted to play. The joys of my life.
I hate it when it's a day where it's around 90 degrees and your boyfriend tells you that he needs to get gas at the gas station. So you stop to get gas and you want to wait in the air conditioned car so you stay in the car, but then your boyfriend leaves to pay for the gas first and takes the keys and locks and sets the alarm without thinking that you might not want to be locked inside his car with no air circulating. And you start to sweat cuz its freaking hot outside and you have no windows open and you think he'll be right back, but it takes him almost 10 minutes to come back and when you ask what took him so long he says that he was balancing his checkbook. That's right, balancing his checkbook while I was getting heatstroke. I realize I could have set off the alarm, but when panic sets in it sets in and it was just the fact that he left me in a car with no air and locked it on a hot day. k thats my venting.
Guess who got flowers today? Marisa you will be jealous. I have a beautiful pink rose, a white with pink center gerber daisy, some other pretty pink flower and a deep pink stargazer lily. And if I had your camera I would take a picture, but considering I have no such thing, you will just have to imagine. They smell wonderful and I'm really happy. That's all I wanted to say.
So, I was reading through my journal today. I do that every now and then just to reflect on different things that have happened. How I dealt with the trials in my life at that point and I read this quote by A.W. Tozer. Brilliant man with an amazing mind. He wrote, "So it becomes the devil's business to keep the Christian's spirit imprisoned. He knows that the believing and justified Christian has been raised up out of the grace of his sins and trespasses. From that point on, Satan works that much harder to keep us bound and gagged, actually imprisoned in our own grave clothes. He knows that if we continue in this kind of bondage...we are not much better off than when we were spiritually dead." Good things to think about...
