Why you tripping? All I did was fart...

What's the big deal about farting, anyhow? You know that EVERYONE does it...but AJ does receive honorable mentions. He rarely does it and my friend Rocky swears he never does in front of his wife...is this still true dude?

Well, here's my tale (you know I always have one).

We had a food cook-off day here at Apria that I crashed (because it wasn't my team that was having it). They had so much yummy food...you would have LOVED it. :) Well, afterwards I had some gas, so I excused myself to take a quick walk outside to release it. Well, a group of gal pal smokers were outside smoking and Arloa asked me what was wrong. I said, "Nothing, I had to fart so I just walked over there to let it go." They roared laughing and said, "I just didn't expect you to say that!" A roar of laughter exploded among us!

Hey, at least I didn't shart...:)

What does it mean to wait?

Patience is a virtue...but what if you don't have any. I've been thinking about this very thing for the past few weeks. How patient am I? If you know me at all, you know that I am not very patient...but God is teaching me to be patient. It takes an ENORMOUS amount of energy for me to be patient. I just want to jump the gun and go. But, there are moments where He simply states "...to be still and know that I am God."

Here I stand knocking on the door of my 28th birthday and I think, have I reached my potential? Have I achieved everything set out before me to accomplish? I unfortunately have to say no. Yet, I find myself asking for other things in life. I want to embark upon the marriage and family trail. I want to live in Cusuna, Honduras for a while. I want to live out my life to the complete fullest. What will this take? What can I still offer? Am I truly open and ready to jump? Well, right now He is calling me to be still and know that He is God. Now this takes patience...

What is He calling you to be still about? Things that make you go hmm...
