Could have been worse!

Today was one of those so close moments. I was on Wayne State Campus coming back from a meeting with my co-worker when a college student hit me as she pulled out without checking if cars were around. I was very calm and collected...Smashed my whole front end and it was undriveable.

My co-worker and I were fine and so was the other driver but it is a bummer. My two week old Toyota Matrix did not with stand the crash test that is for sure. I felt really bad for the Wayne State student. It was her fault but not the end of the world it's only a car.

However, I am feeling pretty rough. Not physically really just sad because I feel like things just never seem to go my way. Breaks do not come for me. Suffering and hardship should really be my middle name these days. I finally pay things off or get a bit ahead to get knocked right back down.

I know Satan is trying to bring me down. I know he would want nothing more than to succeed in making me feel horrible. Well, I am not going to let him get me down. I am committed to my cause for Jesus despite any situation.

Remember the other day when I shared this verse with everyone...
In Romans 5:3-4 "Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."

Well, I am still rejoicing in my suffering overhere. Perservering through whatever life swings at me. My character is not waiver and I am thankful for the hope I have!

I couldn't help remember a ministry I was part of that was dedicated to coming alongside hurting people. Every time a new person joined w/ us, something happened to their car. Made me think of the work you are doing as a board member/marketer.

I am sorry about your car. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Lastly, you are such an inspiration, and have been for so many..for so long. Even in this, you are inspiring and encouraging others!
