Five years ago my friend George Haynes and I car pooled to work together through some of the worst weather northern Indiana had to offer. At the time, he had this little beaten up light blue car, and somehow we always made the long trek to work safely. In the cartoon, George is the one speaking. George passed away 5/5/10. I drew this in 2005 when the memory was fresh, and am glad that I did.
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23
This year has been a busy one for me. The Lord has led me to some areas where I've never dared to go that have required me to step out in faith and grow. And as much as it has been a bit challenging I admit that I truly love every minute of it. For the past year I've been juggling several things: two new cleaning jobs to add to my other two cleaning jobs, starting and leading a cancer support group, becoming the prayer partner coordinator for the mentoring ministry at church and mentoring. All this on top of being a stay-at-home mom and making sure our home is running smoothly. Did I mention I also have two teenagers? :-) But somehow throughout all this I've managed to maintain as healthy of a balance as I can while managing my time pretty well.
That is until recently. Lately I've been feeling overwhelmed.
All of a sudden my carefully planned schedule started to deteriorate. I think it hasn't helped that my Geeky family is preparing for the Emerald City Comicon and my husband has put in countless hours on a very elaborate costume my eldest will be wearing at the Con. My sweet husband's goal as a father has always been to be into what his girls are into and so he is throwing his heart and soul into this costume. But it has taken more time than he expected and he has spent almost every waking minute away from church and work working on it. This means that I'm picking up the slack so that he can do this. I'm willingly to do this because I can't help in the creation of this costume so this is what I can do for the family. But the added pressure of doing it all and not being able to rely upon his help with carpooling and whatnot is wearing on me.
When I get worn out I start to slack off on my free time. I start to watch more T.V. or play my word game or browse around Pinterest too much or read fluff books. And when that happens I'm in the Word less which really starts to cause issues. And the easiest way for Satan to bring me down is through fear and anxiety.
Guess what, I'm overwhelmed and anxious.
Go figure.
I've struggled with fear and anxiety all my life but have really made great strides in overcoming these habits. Which makes me feel really bad when I fall back into them. I think, "Really Krista! Haven't you learned by now?" What I have learned is although I've made great strides in overcoming a few things the truth of the matter is I still have a long way to go.
The good thing about having a loving God is that He still loves me even when I screw up. I love this verse because it reminds me that God's love is steadfast. This means His love is not subject to the changes we go through. This verse also reminds me that His love never ceases. Nothing I can do will make Him love me any less. And lastly, I am reminded that His mercies never come to an end. In fact they are new every morning.
When I think about being able to go to the Lord after messing up I think about it like the new leaves starting to bud on my Hydrangea plant. Last year the plant got leggy and although the blooms were beautiful the plant got overgrown so I cut it down to give it a fresh start. I'm not a seasoned gardener so I was hoping my cutting back didn't cause the plant any harm for future growth. It wasn't until I took a photo walk in my yard that I noticed new buds on all my plants including my Hydrangea plant. I love spring time because everything gets a new start.
How about you? Do you need a fresh start? Are you like me and fallen back into an old habit? Trust me when I say you aren't alone and that you don't have to keep on kicking yourself for failing yet again. You can go to the Lord and lay your situation at His feet. Ask for His forgiveness if you have to. Find a godly friend who you can be accountable to and make a fresh start.
What are you waiting for? Make that needed change today and make a fresh start.

When Monster was a puppy he was the runt of the litter, and his hind legs did not work. At three months old, Monster was scheduled to be euthanized, but a vet technician offered to take him in to rehabilitate his legs, and then set him up for adoption.
I was carpooling with a co-worker, and we stopped at his house because he needed to let his dogs out. As he let them out, out came Monster whose hind legs didn’t work.
My co-worker’s wife was the vet technician who had saved his life. She had given him the name Monster because of his “monster attitude” not to give up.
At the time Monster was so malnourished he fit in the palm of my hand. He was cute yet very helpless: so I decided to take him in.
During the next five years, he went from several ounces, to a hulking 92 pounds of muscle. He is a hybrid between a Rottweiler and American Pit Bull, also known as an American Mastiff.
Monster loves jogging, Jeep rides, hiking, and playing with his tug rope. At times he thinks he is still a puppy and climbs up to cuddle in my lap. Not only is he a fearless protector, but a cherished family member.
Uh... wtf? Can someone explain this sign to me? McDonald's parking lot (Gateway Niagara) in Grimsby...
The BART strike has traffic levels up and more people are carpooling than normal. At the North Berkeley BART station, between 8-12 cars are waiting at any given time to pick up carpoolers and take them to the Financial District of San Francisco.
Gillian Haratani of Berkeley has been carpooling here for about two years and says it is great. Haratani also said that there are more cars than normal, although she is first in line waiting to get a ride to the Civic Center.

Missoula In Motion (MIM) exists to promote sustainable alternatives to one person - one car commuting. Not wanting to admonish people for driving, MIM was looking instead to encourage them to change their behavior and use sustainable transportation just one day a week. Our "See Commuting Differently" campaign has helped them get scores of new people to take to bikes, carpooling, buses, walking and vanpools. Bus ridership alone has risen 16% since the campaign began, membership in MIM's member log on group, the Way To Go! Club, has grown exponentially and visits to the website have nearly doubled.
We all carpooled, rode the Metro, got lost in DC, watched gay porn, missed the Metro and carpooled home together. Lol.
The Commons, an innovative apartment building in Brunswick, Melbourne.
The property is noted for promoting sustainability through the use of solar panels and recycled timber in construction, with no car spaces, second bathrooms, or air-conditioning among its other initiatives.
Slugging is kind of like carpooling but you don't share a ride with the same people everyday. It's a way of commuting that is apparently unique to the DC area. Basically, there are those who decide to take their cars into the city from the suburbs but since there's only one occupant they cannot use the HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes which require a minimum of 2 or 3 passengers. So they go to certain designated places to pick up sluggers (those commuters who don't drive into the city) so they can have more people in their cars and can hence use the faster moving HOV lanes. I'm not exactly sure how the monetary arrangement works if there is any but it seems like a beneficial arrangement both for the driver and the slugger. I myself take the BMW (Bus, Metro, Walk). :-)

In case you are like many Americans, you probably spend lots of every day in your car hurrying to work, carpooling to your kids' tasks, running errands and much more. It seems as if you simply don't need time to take your car in for a windshield repair. Yet, that small chip on your windshield may very quickly propagate to some fracture. It only requires a big change in temperature, a demanding road or even a banging door to induce that chip to be large fracture. While this occurs, the glass can't be repaired. Once a large crack forms, the glass must be substituted. Replacement is more costly and labour intensive compared to the usual chip repair.

Ridelink, the free carpooling service for the UCT community was launched during Green Week. Fourteen students squeezed and fitted into a 1969 Volkswagen Beatle on 22 September 2010 on Jameson Plaza in an awareness-raising campaign to show the fun of carpooling.

I hopped a magic carpet (or carpooled with Kate and Joseph) for a wonderful day of sketching at Bass Pro Shops in Independence. Kate holds a monthly sketchcrawl and each one is a delight. We began by spreading out and letting our eyes take in the feast of interesting animals and objects to draw. Then after a few hours of putting pen to paper, we met at the Islamorada for great food and sharing. It's always fascinating to see what captured the imagination of others. I drew the fish that were mounted on the fireplace near the entrance and then somewhat cruelly painted the beautiful view of the trail by the water next to my little fishy friends. So close and yet so far...
Why own a car when you can GoGet!

Ninja Matt, L2, Hi-D and me all shared the backseat on the way back from the new year's party. FUN...TIMES!
Need I say more? Eating meat, eggs and dairy products contributes more to climate change than all of transportation in the world combined...so says the UN! Why oh why are we eating pepperoni pizzas while carpooling to save the environment.

Can you spot something that doesn't belong?
As of early next year TTC Pass holders and everyone else will have to pay the daily parking fee. Personally I hope commuters show their support for this idea by parking on side streets or taking the GO Service instead.

226/365 - "Dan"
This weekend I attended my friend Dan's bachelor party. Dan and I work together and have been carpooling for the past couple of years. Through all the rides to and from work, Dan has become a great friend who's an important part of my life.
This photo is an outtake from my 365 project taken last fall, but I wanted to post something in honor of his party this weekend and his marriage to Lisa next weekend.

Somerset HS E-Team won the Project of the Month Award for November 2008. Students drove 24% fewer cars to SHS on Carpool to School Day, which was October 21, 2008. Students who carpooled were entered in a drawing for two WalMart gas cards which were donated by a parent.
