Today's blog will be nothing short of pure hilarity but it will have a lesson in the end. I am laughing to myself right now just thinking about what I am about to reveal.

So when I was 11 years old my dad took me and my sister to our first concert ever. We were living in Austin at the time and we drove all the way to the Houston Summit to see none other than Mr. "Can't Touch This" himself, M.C. Hammer. Back in the early 90's, Hammer was hot to put it mildly. Everyone had at least one pair of those ridiculous hammer pants and if you were old enough and could afford them, you were rocking those dreadful Gazelle glasses. I know I am taking y'all back with this one. Hammer had taken over and everybody was trying to master that damn "typewriter" dance. We were hammertized.

My dad chose to go all out since it was our first concert. We had seats on the floor right at the center of the stage. We were so excited. Hammer began performing and all I knew is that I needed to be elevated. I could not see the stage to save my life. I was too short and couldn't reach the level I needed to be at to enjoy the show. I thought for a second and I decided that if I stood in my chair, I could be taller, then I could see and enjoy the show. Well, my dad was standing right next to me, why I didn't ask him for help I will never know. I took it upon myself to stand up in my chair so I could see. The seats on the floor weren't the sturdiest thing in the world so once I stood in it and started dancing a little, my little ass fell right through the seat. I was shame and embarrassed. I can die laughing now thinking about it but I was so embarrassed then. Everyone was staring at me and asking if I was OK. I really just wanted to stay on the floor and let everyone do the hammer dance on me. I wanted to disappear into the concrete. If only I would have just asked my father for help, I could have avoided the embarrassment and pain. So now you see where I am going with this.

This blog is really about going after what you want but only with the help and guidance of God. How many times have you gone off and did your own thing, failed, then came back to God when your face was cracked? We all do it. Hopefully reading this story will make you think twice in the future. If we'd only ask God first what he thinks and how he thinks we should proceed, we could avoid so much heartache. So I am saying all this to say, chase and I mean run fast and with purpose after your dreams but ALWAYS consult with our Heavenly Father first. You and he together are 2 legit 2 quit.
