must use left foot!

So my job sent me to South Padre Island for about 4 days, where while there were meetings going on, I planned on relaxing more than working! I took my sweet bike and was very excited about getting on it again without the fears of being blown off with the coastal winds and crazy drivers I face in Port Lavaca. So after about a 2 month hiatus from my bike, due to ankle injury and winds, I had plans of biking a lot over my time when I wasn't on the beach, in the ocean, or in meetings. The first night out, I was doing good riding along a friend running, keeping it conversational and relaxed... for me at least. We came to the end of the island and had to cross so I had to go to the main drag at an intersection with only a stop sign to cross the road and get to the beach side on the island from the bay side. I came to the stop sign unclipped my right foot... and the next thing i knew I was on the ground on top of my bike with my left foot still clipped in... seriously its been 2 months not 2 years... I then thought back and i always unclip my left foot to stop...ALWAYS! I am apparently not capable of stopping with my right foot. Crazy I know! remember when stopping left, not right!

Recieving Love

Sometimes often I struggle with letting people in... In fact if you know me and you read this you'll probably be shocked. For the past year and a half I have had various people tell me I need to let people in, let people love me, and care about me the way I try to for everyone else. People I consider my best friends I have lost or have gotten so frustrated with me they have given up in fact. This of course has just made me want to be harder, rely less on people b/c now its been brought to my attention I cause them pain when all I want to do is everything to lessen their pain. Its been happening my whole life, it just took some amazing Godly people the last 2 years to finally tell me. So tonight I am reading a book called "90 min in Heaven" by Don Piper and Holy Moly he went through the same thing, always a people helper never a receiver... But so far it seems that he only had to be told once... My thick stubborn head takes 2 years
to decide to listen. I may even have an idea finally how to put my receiving self out there. See if you can figure it out for yourselves :). God is so good to bring this to me and to be a constant reminder not only to receive but to be grateful for it. After all that is how we are to be with Him, and if I can't allow a friend to listen to my problems, or help me with a project, how do I treat God my father??? Prob. Not very well I am afraid to admit.
