Accident.

Well it has been quite some time since my last post.
My life has just been so crazy busy I haven't been able to tell up from down or left from right.
Well one thing I have been feeling like I needed to blog about cause it was kind of a turning point in my 16 year old life...
So everyone knows my white mini van. I know I know, it's amazing. Or I should say it was.
Anyways I was driving to my work almost two weeks ago from school to go talk to my boss about gaining more hours. This was right after school which guarenteed traffic obviously. So I was driving down Hopyard from the downtown area and I guess what happened was the person in front of the person in front of me stopped really fast and then the person in front of me stopped crazy fast...what I remember of it I thought I slammed on my breaks but I don't remember slowing down that much...
So my car got smashed. SO smashed. It honestly scared me so badly. When I used to see movies where people would get in an accident I'd kinda laugh at their reaction cause they'd be like "OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!" really fast and repetitive and I'd be like wow...
But that's exactly how I reacted. No one was hurt thank the Lord but my car was smadhed in pretty badly. The next day I tried to drive it and it was stalling pretty bad and the radiator had cracked.
I just found out that it has been officially totaled so there is no more white mini van.

You know what I think it was?
My car was getting me everywhere. It was MY mode of transportation and it got me around whenever I wanted to go wherever I wanted to go. I started to depend on my car. I almost put it on a level of dependence that was almost leveling with the Lord.
I've come to find that when you don't give Him everything fully, He takes the things that you are holding onto so that you have no reason NOT to turn to Him.

So far everything is working out better than I expected it to.
As for now I need my rest...
Until next time...
