What's the Rush?: Driving Me Crazy!!

Happy New Years!!! It's 2012 and I pray your year is full of God's Blessing. So far my News Years weekend has been full of driving. After driving from Dallas to Lubbock yesterday and about to return to Dallas today I have a confession..... Driving is not one of my fortes. I'll be the first to admit I can give into road rage at any moment. I only like to drive when I feel the need to be in control. Most of the time I like to get from point A to point B in the fastest way possible. For someone who has a hard time sitting still car rides are just not my cup of tea. I really think rushing through life has more to do with your mentality than your actual circumstance. When I'm in a rush I tend to be more irritable and frustrated. And usually when in the car I choose to rush. I have come to realize that I'm in the car most of the time and most of that time I have my daughters undivided attention. So basically they get to witness this beautiful display of irritation.

Now I have to say I married a man who loves a drive and I'm very thankful the girls have taken on his opinion. To them there is no better way to enjoy a car ride than with a refreshing drink and a song list you can't do anything but sing along to at the top of your lungs and if you got the moves you better show them.

...... Enjoy the drive .....

Wether you use the car time already given to you or choose to just take a drive. Use it as a time to catch up with your kids, a phone call to an old friend (hands free if at all possible and of coarse no texting), a prayer (it's always appropriate to have a conversation with our creator), to get by yourself to reflect, a scenic route to explore, or an Alcala favourite ...... a concert.
