early this morning i was talking to my great friend kat.
we were talking about God, life, spritual gifts and all kinds of other stuff.
it was a much needed and comforting talk. i’m glad i have wonderful friends who love me.

i called kc and we talked about it.
talked about our own lives and our life together.
just how everything coincides and everything has a purpose.

a point i brought up is how 2006 was my crappiest year.
i would rather say another word… but oh well. you get the idea.
but the one thing God taught me is that i should focus and never make it about me.
no matter what happens… GOD IS GOD.
and all things could go to crap and my life could become hell…
but i know that God is who He is. and no one can ever convince me otherwise.

well…

about 21 miles outside of nashville it had started raining.
and i was going the speed limit… but prolly should have slowed down about 10 mph.
well… i hit a water patch and started to hydroplane, then stopped and gained control.
i tried to let up on the cruise control, but in the next second i hit a patch again…
and lost all control.
i hydroplaned into the left concrete wall. upon impact the airbags deployed and i thought for sure my face got royally owned. pwned even.
i was pretty much head-on.
i then spun to my left and that threw me to the right, so i never hit the window.
i then hit the right concrete wall and came to a dead stop.
all i could think was, “please don’t let anyone be near me and please let that wall stop me.”

wow.

what a ride.

i got out and assessed the situation. (hahahhahahha!!! dane cook.)
i was freakin’ pissed.
called 911.
kc was freakin’ out but i had to call to get help and i called him back.
an officer came and filed a report. my car got towed.
he took me home and i was pretty dang sore and tired and managed to get my left arm scraped right on the anchor of my tattoo and my lip was cracked.
that’s pretty much it.
my car took all the beating it could handle.

ugh.

pissed.

glad i’m alive. glad i don’t have a concussion.
i’m doing fine. just taking ibuprofen and resting.
got a rental car today, but my car is totalled so i won’t have that for very long.
here it is:

may it rest in peace.

i’m just glad i have a family who freaks out.
a fiancé who loves me more than anything in the world.
and friends in nashville and birmingham (and prolly pensacola and atlanta and minneapolis except they won’t know until they read this…) that care dearly about me.

man….

God is God.
and that is a wonderful thing.
