A Thought About My Car Accident

As I was sitting at the lights at Kingston Road and Morningside, complaining to myself about how much my back hurt, someone smashed into the back of my car, full speed.  The back bumper of my car was already in bad shape from when I backed into my sons car in the driveway and then again when I backed into my daughters car last week (I know we'll discuss my driving another time...they just shouldn't park behind me in the drive way that's all!).
Anyway, this guy hit me so hard that everything in the front of my car including everything on the dashboard and in all the little compartments, ended up being in the back seat of my car. It all went flying and everything happened so fast.
I was in such shock that I couldn't move for the first few minutes. Never really had an accident like that before and I didn't have a clue what to do.  It's a good thing that God was looking after me because although the man who hit me gave me a card with all his info on it, I didn't even think to write down his licence plate number. (I know, we can discuss my stupidity another time too!) I just couldn't think straight, I was completely dumbfounded and confused. He could have completely shafted me....but he didn't.
Turns out that the man was an auto mechanic and a really nice guy. He ended up fixing the back end of my car and it honestly looks better now than when I first bought the car!!! I may need to go out and get a new front end just so it matches the back.
God took a potentially bad situation and worked it out better than I could have ever thought. I have a great looking car!!  Oh, and my back has been completely better from the time he hit me, no more pain! How amazing is that!

  1. Wow! I'm so glad you're okay! That would have shaken me up, too. You gotta hate when they sneak up behind you!
