Confessions of a Houston Driver

Living in Houston has been somewhat of an adventure, some days I long to be anywhere else but here. Although, it has become more evident to me why God has us here for now. The one thing that drives me absolutely crazy about living in Houston  is how people drive . Anytime I have to go to the store, run errands, drive down to Katy; I dread it. People cut you off, they do not signal, they do not look at who is in the lane next to them. It truly can be mayhem. There are moments though when I find myself guilty of these traffic crimes that I detest, then I realize "Wow! I can be kind of a hypocritical driver." I complain about how others drive and I pass off the  times I do these things. 

Beyond driving I know that I am guilty of judging in general whether it be a person I do not know at all, an acquaintance or  even a friend. I try so desperately not too but at the end of the day sometimes I have those thoughts. The thoughts that seem innocent enough but consist of "Well I do not do that", "I would handle that differently", "They should not be spending money on that, when there are people starving". When I reflect on this I realize how imperfect and how far away I am from being anything like Christ. I should not be judging anyone, whether I agree or disagree with them, because I am not always living up to the things I am judging them on or I do not have the right (I am not God) Waking up to all of this multiple times, makes me deeply want Christ to change my heart, because I am not capable to not judge without Him. 

Lately...

Payton and I went to Austin for July 4th weekend and had a great time. He really does have a sweet family that has become my family through marriage. The weekend consisted of birthday presents for the kiddos, Kerbey Lane (yum), pool football, corn - hole, Apples to Apples and amazing grilled food (props to Dustin, Carly and Chad for the awesome grub). Upcoming events....I turn 24 which is hard for me to believe, time is flying. Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 2 at midnight!!!! Then the adventure we have been anticipating all summer, going to Honduras....I have to decided to journal while I am there, so when I get back I will post the journals and pictures. Prayers for our trip would be wonderful!
