Accidents Happen

slow down and listen

Accidents Happen
Rachel Witt

On Friday February 10th around 5:45 p.m. my life was different. I was driving in a parking lot and collided with another car. Panic rushed through my body as I began to process what had just happened. My first thought was to pray, especially for the other car involved. Boy am I thankful for the Lord's guiding hand as He protected each of us. I am thankful for the people who provided a comforting hug as my anxiety was running high.

As the whole things seems troubling when it comes to figuring out how to pay for the replacement of my front bumper, and managing the small amount of pain I am in, I know it will be okay.

I just keep thinking what is Lord trying to teach me from this accident. Things happen in life and sometimes they come at unwanted times, but trusting the Lord with the outcome is what is important.

The biggest lesson I have gained from all of this is learning to be still. Many times in my life I try to jump the gun, and move too fast. Even though I wasn't actually going any faster than 15 miles per hour, I still have the effect from the moment of impact. That goes for all things throughout my life. If only we slowed down enough to listen to the Lord, He is going to lead us places we can't even imagine.


Lord, Thank you for another day of protection. Lead me where you see fit. Allow Glory to your kingdom to come.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
