In the green, Captain!

It's official.

I'm legal.

Not to drink, but to drive! Heh heh, never both at the same time. I could go off on a really long tangent about that, but I'll spare you.

This morning was my driver's test. I was very nervous and I thought, by the end, that I'd failed the test. But I didn't! I got passed, and we went to the Secretary of State's office around lunchtime to get my paper license and my picture taken for the plastic one that'll be along in the mail in "the next couple of weeks".

It's a little scary! It's legal for me to drive. By myself. Without anyone else. Scratch a little- that's very scary. But I suppose in time I'll get used to it and grow as a driver and a person. No, I'm serious! You can become a better person by getting your license. It's when you pray for the people that tailgate you and don't flip someone off when they cut you off.

It's a little tongue in cheek, but I am really serious. I'm thanking God for the grace that allowed me to pass this morning and also asking Him for the grace to get better at driving and the strength and courage to drive alone.

Good niiiiight!
