So last night i was in a car wreck. This guy driving a truck decided to make a left turn into me. And since he was driving a truck literally all i saw were the headlights right next to me on the otherside of my window. My car is totaled. From the front tire to the back tire is all dented in on the driver's side of my car. It messed up every panel of my car, and we can't open or lock the door, or roll down the window. His car was just scraped a lil, and he was missing part of his blinker light, then his fender was hanging just a couple inches. At first i couldn't get a hold of my mom. i had called her like, 3 or 4 times and she didn't answer. So i called one of the leaders at church freaking out and crying. Then my mom called me back. So she got to the gas station where me and the guy that hit me pulled off. By the time she had gotten there i already had the guys Driver's License number, License plate number, Make and model of his car. But other than that i didn't know what to do. Oh, and i had taken some pictures of the damages to both cars.. So my mom called the police to get an accident report. And we decided to do a self report form, which means that we get the files from the police officer and then we each fill it out and turn it in to our insurance companies. This way it won't go on either of our driving records! Thank goodness! Cause even though the accident wasn't my fault it would still go on my record. And that would have made the insurance sky rocket for my parents too! All-in-all after the wreck we were in that gas station parking lot for an hour. I wasn't that hurt. My shoulder was hurting like crazy though! But i was quite shaken up, so i hardly noticed it until i was on the way home.. So when we got home all i did was drop my stuff and sit on the couch. Then i noticed that when i was sitting there it hurt really bad to stay sitting upright. So i layed down. Then i felt a really really sharp pain in my stomach. It hurt so bad that i started crying. So my mom called my uncle, he is a paramedic, and told him everything. He said that i might have gotten a bruise from the seatbelt. So i checked to see if there was a bruise, and there wasn't. Then he told my mom to check and see if my pupils were dialating, and they were. So he told us that we really needed to go to the hospital... i was mad that i had to go. but i understood why. So at 12:30 Thursday morning we made it to the emergency room. And they said that i had hit my head and didn't realize it. And that the muscles in my stomach were messed with by the seatbelt. Then they gave me some medicine for pain. And i reluctantly took it, cause i hate taking medicine. Then at 1:30 we were on our way home. And i didn't sleep at all that night! I was in way too much pain to sleep! Everything, everywhere hurt really bad. Mainly my shoulder and my stomach. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning, way too early, but atleast i'm able to get in. And they're going to do x-rays cause i have whip lash, then a few other things... The last time i was in a wreck was when i was 13 years old. I was in the front seat and someone turned infront of us. That wreck was really bad. It totaled the brand new lexus that turned in front of us. But from that wreck my mom got her dream car! A Suburban :P It seems lame to me. But she says that when i grow up and have kids i'll understand. Then when someone we had lended out the car handed down to me from my dad wrecked that car, it was totaled. But i got a super awesome car from that! And now my car is totaled. But i realize that it's all in God's hands. And that he will bless me just like he had blessed either me or my family every other time. In Psalms 139:5 it says, "You go before me and follow behind me. You have placed your hand of blessing upon my head." God was with me through that whole thing. I was, and am still in His protection. And He has placed His hand of blessing upon my head. I know without a doubt that God will provide for me. And He has my best intrest in mind. So even though i'm hurting really bad and my car is totaled, i know that it is all okay. My parents were telling me to try and look at everything positively and see it is being a blessing in disguise. But even if it isn't a blessing in disguise it doesn't matter. Cause i know that God was with me the whole time, and the grace that He has given me just to be able to be with me is more than enough of a blessing in and of itself.... Wednesday before the wreck happened, at youth someone gave his life to God. It was so exciting! Everyone was cheering, and we were all so proud of him.. Then i had my wreck. On top of that, yesterday my assistant youth pastor's wife was in a car wreck too. In the car was her (She's pregnant), and their daughter (She's a little over a year old). What are the chances of two people, from the same youth group, both in leadership, getting in a wreck within 24 hours of someone giving their life to God during the youth group service? Kirsten and I were texting eachother when it happened just talking about the possibilities of this being an attack of the enemy on our youth group. This makes me wonder what God has in store for us that the enemy is trying to stop from happening. Or it could be because that guy gave his life to God. And if it is, Then my car wreck was completely and totally worth it! That is the best decision that anyone can make in their entire life! And if it makes the devil that mad, then the wreck was worth it! One of my youth leaders once told me, "If you're not being attacked by the enemy, then that's a problem! Cause that means you're not attacking him!" And that is so true.. I love when great and amazing things happen, and you can tell that it's making the devil mad.. Even if this isn't a "Blessing in disguise", It was worth it.... It feels great to make the Devil mad!!
