An Official Oregon Driver's License!!!!!

I now am the proud owner of an Official Oregon Driver's License!!!!! and it is good till August 2016. So, I am now official.... what an ordeal it has been. So, I don't have to go in for another 8 years...and who knows where I will be 8 years from now.... what does the Lord have in mind?

The saga of the renewing driver's license.......

Well, I gathered all my important papers, including my much anticipated marriage license from Alaska, and headed to the DMV during lunch to get my driver's licensed renewed. It was suppose to be renewed by August 11th........It was a DMV close to my work as the one I usually use, close to where I live, is closed on Saturdays and I work Monday through Friday outside the home. So, I go, quite proud of myself for finally having ALL my paperwork in hand, stand in line for 20 minutes (not bad) and then to have the lady tell me at the counter..."I am sorry but the machine for taking pictures is broken statewide, so you will not be able to renew your license today. Well....needless to say, another character building moment the Lord sent my way..... I walked out thinking.... maybe I am not suppose to be driving? HA! So... I will try again...tomorrow is another day, Scarlett......

A New Bible...

Today, I bought a new Bible.... It is with some sadness that I put away my old one. I have used it for nine years now and it is marked up with all sorts of things that the Lord has shown me during these last 9 years. But, I am in a new season of my life..... a season where the old is good but will not do....I want fresh revelation, fresh insights, fresh touches, fresh annointings from the Lord. It seems like I would always find myself drawn to those marked up pages in my old Bible and reminsce about what the Lord showed me..... that is good, and yet, I don't want to live there. I want to remember, but I want to go on...and so today, I start afresh...and my heart carries so much excitement at what the Lord wants to reveal to me through this new copy of scripture I just acquired. So, I have put the "security blanket" away..... even though I will refer to it from time to time...and now eagerly look ahead.....
