Ticket Busters, David, Ginny Owens

#23 Ticket Busters... I am not particularly grateful to have received a speeding ticket. In fact, I could grumble quite a bit about how unfair the whole traffic policing system is here in Vegas; HOWEVER, the truth is I was speeding, I was breaking the law, and the cop was really polite to me. I am grateful, however, that an agency exists that will handle the hassle of going to court for me.

BTW - I am almost 100% sure that Ticket Busters is not a gift from God. Just an American luxury that made my life a little easier today.

#24 David going to Ticket Busters of his own volition to handle the ticket on my behalf, because he said (and I quote) "I can handle this honey, you've got better things to do."

BTW - I am 100% certain, that David is an incredible, extravagant, and completely unearned gift from God.

#25 The song If You Want Me To, artist Ginny Owens (you will hear it if you hang out long enough - if you can't wait scroll down and click on the song in the player at the bottom of the page). Today the lyrics are speaking so loudly to me - not sure why really because I don't feel like I am in a valley. Maybe because so many who have a part of my heart are. Sarah, Leslie, Christel - these lyrics are dedicated to you:

The pathway is broken
And The signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why You brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to

Cause I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet
so if all of these trials bring me closer to You
Then I will walk through the fire
If You want me to

It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never go alone

So When the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will go through the valley If You want me to
