So i got into a car accident on Tuesday night coming home from the office. It was not a whole lot of fun, especially since my car got damaged pretty good. Anyways, fortunately it wasn’t my fault and the other guys insurance has already gotten me a rental car. Unfortunately, the collision inspector told me today that they were going to “total” my car. This really stinks because i had a great car that was really cheap, but i wont be able to buy the same one that i had for what the insurance company is going to give me.

Its times like this were i think it is difficult to see where God is in all of it. Yes, he was there to keep me and the other drivers safe. But what good does it do to take away my car, and make me scrape around to find a new one? (not new in the sense of never be used, but new to me) the only think to do is to keep trusting. It’s times like this were I think of Proverbs 3:5,6.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make your paths straight.”

So no matter what happens to us, car accident, break-up, lack of success and in all our failures as well as victories, acknowledge the Lord. Sometimes i think things like this happen just to force us to slow down and realize that God is still in control. Hopefully by realizing this, we can lead other people to that same knowledge too!
