Well... we are home from school due to the weather.... My husband is still stuck on the interstate with traffic at a stand still.... The roads were terrible today! I glided into a ditch on my way home from work. No way I could get the car stopped (which was barely moving to start with). It had a mind of its own. I was stuck in the ditch. I started praying. Tried to call my hubby, no answer. So.... I put it in reverse and tried to spin my way out. I let the car rock forward then hit the gas again and again. The car eventually pulled its way backward out of the ditch. I know that God's hand was on me. It was easy for my pride to rise up and take the credit for getting out of the ditch. I felt proud that I was such a good driver...that I did it. But then I remember.... I prayed and God is the one who did it. (I'm not really that great of a driver) :) Pride is a sneaky thing.... that has to be beaten down. I work on it in little situations daily. I fight it so much.... in relationships, in work, in many areas of life. Will I ever completely win this battle and defeat this enemy? I know one thing, I will never stop fighting it.
