Talk about not looking at the circumstances! Three days ago I was in a car wreck. My car totalled! I walked away with a few glass cuts in my hand, a knot on my head and a bruise or two on my leg, thats it. The other guy wasnt hurt either.
The guy who hit me was speeding, he came over the steep hill behind me while I was about to turn left across the highway onto my road, so he decided to go around me instead of slowing down, crossing the double yellow line. I turned right into him. He hit me at about 55mph, throwing the car into the ditch which triggered the airbags. I had no idea he was even behind me.
Anyway, the important thing is neither of us was seriously hurt.
I gotta admit though, I'm a little confused as to why it happened. Yes, I feel God protected me, (both of us really), but then again, I've always thought He would protect me while driving. Now I am really worried when I get behind the wheel, especially when I have to drive that way everyday.
I have to admit, it was partially my fault. I don't think I had my turn signal on. Had it been on maybe he wouldnt have tried to go around me, so that makes me think I opened myself up to all that happening.
Any thoughts?
Since I've found Ray's site, I've had to do a lot of rethinking of what I believe. I believe God directs my every step, so that would seem to mean I was suposed to go through all of this,,,,right?
See my confusion? I don't mean to steal this blog, but I thought it fit in. Maybe my hut is on fire in some way? It would be easy to concentrate on the circumstances, like I owe more on the car than its worth, bummer, but maybe God has a plan that I don't see. I dont really know how to look at it all, but I prayed for wisdom and understanding. It occured to me that I could possibly find that wisdom in an answer on this forum too, so thats why I wrote about it.
Sorry if I posted in the wrong place.
