Sanctification at the DMV
For the last five years of my life, I have had that little red banner on my driver’s license saying, UNDER 21 until 05/16/2005. So, since I had to get my title changed for my vehicle so I can take it to Mexico in another month, I decided today is as good a day as any to get my UNDER 21 banner off my license . . . besides, I figured they would probably give me grace on my birthday for any trouble I might come across.
So, I decided that I would do my quiet time there since I knew I would have to wait in line for quite some time . . . no pun intended. I decided to go as a witness for Christ and nothing that happened would make me shift my purpose as an ambassador for Him. I walked in, got my C125 ticket, and then I proceeded to fill out my paper work. I found myself quickly chuckling at a very ill behaved child that I would have happily gave a spanking too, a women who was upset because her license had been suspended, and the mere fact that I was sitting in a small room with about 100-200 people all waiting in a place full of grumpy people. So, it was at such a place that I decided to be a light for Jesus Christ. However, after waiting quite some time with a few little hiccups with my paper work, I finally left the DMV (after 1 hr 45 min) feeling a bit overwhelmed with my own sin through the process of all that took place. It is amazing to me how quick I am to forget to be HOLY as Christ is holy through the middle of hard times. Thank the Lord for GRACE and for teaching me about patience!!!!
All in all, this last week of celebrating my birthday and graduation has been filled with some of the greatest memories of my life, and I can’t even thank the Lord enough for the incredible ways that He has blessed me. I truly do desire to be a vessel for His use as he continually conforms me into the precious image of His Son.
To all my friends and family who have helped shape the man that I am, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

Aaaaah, yes, the DMV. Such a joyous place, yes? =)
I deal with them nearly every day. I understand your frustration. But hey, it's run by the government ... what do we expect, hehe.
sooooo, I just realized that we haven't seen an entry in over a month. Come on! Your adoring fans need sustenance! =)
