Sorry

I have a blog but I am not a blogger!! I am not very faithful at maintaining my blog. No good excuses....just not good at it. I work a 24 hr shift so by morning I am ready to get home just in time to hug the kids as they walk to the bus. This past week I really messed up...and I knew I was doing it. I was in a hurry to get home (I have to see the kids) when I noticed a well dressed man (button shirt, slacks nice shoes....I was going 65 mph) walking south on K-15. "Odd" I thought for this early in the morning (at least put tennis shoes on). A half mile later I noticed a nice car with flashing lights along side of the road (I bet it belongs to the nice dressed man) but I had to see the kids before school...right?!? "Well", I figured, there are a lot of cars out this morning...someone will help him (I had to see my kids...its been 24 hrs) The nearest gas station was 4 miles...the same direction he was walking so he was heading the right direction...me? 1 mile from home in a working vehicle...my kids are important right? Not sure how he got help and I did not hear any reports of a missing man. I knew what I should be doing but what I should have done I did not do. I knew it was wrong. I can't explain the pull at my heart and mind at what God wanted me to do that morning...and I refused. Was it an opportunity for God to express Himself through me to that man? It would have cost me time maybe some gas (I had 5 gallons of gas at home to offer the man) and I refused to obey. Not again. I will with every effort not allow that to happen again. I wonder what opportunity God has for me today...will I miss it...refuse to obey...agree to accept the challenge...allow myself to be used? Just wondering?
