One Thing After the Other
Right...... so last night I had my first car wreck. Yep.. you read me right. My first car wreck. Nothing too serious, Thank God, but a car wreck is never a good thing. Of course the evening and day in general started off good, I don't know quite what happened. I woke up as usual and got ready for church. Half anticipating and Half Dreading, I was planning on going to the Pentecostal Church. So I went. As always.. Bro. Michael's bible class was awesome. He is such a good teacher and I always learn so much. The worship was alright too.. but I sat by myself that morning. What do I expect? I hadn't been there in months. But to my amazement my friend Julie Edwards, from highschool, was there. We chatted and she convinced me to come back to the night service. Lunch was alright with Sam, Mom, and Kelly and then I took a nap. Then off again to church. Sundays are by far the most and best worship and services. They are always so filled with fun and goodness. Hehehe. You know what I mean. Anyways.. we just had a great time in the Lord. Afterwards the youth people all went out to eat. Not quite sure if I should go.. I decided I would. I figured since Julie was there it would be good and Ryan (Bro Michael's Son i.e Samanthas Cousin) also was talking to me so I figured I wouldn't be too bored. And out of all the times that I ever went out with the Pentecostal Youth for dinner.. it was the most fun. I actually talked and joined in the conversation. Yay! I really started to feel welcome and like I belonged. Once we left.. that is when it all happened.
I was following Julie down Rufe Snow (a road that leads to our neighboorhood, we live like two blocks away from each other) and it had started to rain. I've been driving for a while so I didn't let it phase me and so I just putzed down the road in no big hurry. The problem with Rufe Snow is that it has had construction on it for as long as I've lived here in Texas (about 10 yrs or so). There are cones and big orange things everywhere and you can't tell where the lanes are etc etc. The next thing we know the truck in front of Julie just stops! It looked like he was going to turn, but he doesn't! He just stops in the middle of the road. Julie didn't want to hit him but there was no where else for he to go. She smashed into him. It's sort of strange when disasters or accidents happen. Say you drop a glass. It doesn't just happen! Everything seems to slow down and runs in slow-mo. That is the way it was when I saw Julie hit the truck. And it continued as I slammed on my brakes. My tired squeeled and instead of feeling the car stop like normal, it just kept going! I hydroed right into her back. Then the slow-mo stopped and reality slammed back into place. Julie and I pulled over into a parking lot but the truck she hit just kept going and never came back. It didn't really matter. We were both o.k. I immediately called my dad and Julie called the police. Then she called her dad and called Bro. Shane. I was amazed at how calm my dad was. Usually when something happend he goes balistick and freaks out. He didn't even yell at me! He just made sure I was o.k. and asked what happened. Well...The driver side of her car was ripped apart and her hood was badly bent. My front hood was slightly dented and some of the paint scratched off. The only damage done to her bumper was some paint scratches from underneath that you couldn't even see so her father said he wouldn't worry about it and I wouldn't have to pay for it. So we are both fine except for being a little wigged out and we are going to be able to take care of the damage. We even have plans to get together this week and hang out. I'm glad that my first accident was something disasterous and I'm glad that my dad was kewl about it. Thank you Jesus for watching over us last night.
P.S. One of the best news about last night! Aaron.. the guy I have been in love with for like two years, he is the most beautiful and gorgeous person that the Lord has ever created, well.. He's single once again. Oh yeah! That's right. He's single! Go me!!
