what a day

I wrote the previous post before I actually did the impulsive thing, so I wanted to wait till I actually did it before I said I did!

I got my hair cut.

I was excitedly going home to straighten it.

then I got in an accident.

Yes, I'm okay, no the car is not okay, yes I'm getting a new car....any other questions?

I decided to use this as a learning opportunity. While talking to Sarah, I realized that sometimes I have the tendency to think that I am better than other people. Somehow, my ego has gotten way too big. Through mistakes like these, I remember that I am human, just like everyone else. Humbling is a good thing, but a hard thing. 1 Peter 5:6,7 made me laugh at myself! Read it, I don't have it handy right now.

Looking back on it, if I could have planned out an accident, this would have been an ideal situation. The lady I hit (yes, it was my fault, I rear-ended her) was the nicest lady. After I talked to my mom on the phone I started to cry, and she gave me a big hug! Then the police officers were super nice too. They didn't give me a ticket, and they told me that it's a natural thing to cry after getting in an accident. They weren't domineering, they weren't rude about anything! They just explained everything, finished their report, and went on their way.

So there. I can never say that I have never gotten a ticket or been in an accident. Life happens. I need to move on. This afternoon I'm going car shopping with my dad. Hopefully it won't be too emotional, and hopefully he won't be a jerk (even though I know he wants the best for me). Next time you see me I may have a new car!
