May 18th was just another day for me. I had been craving Tropical Smoothie Cafe for about a month and decided that I was finally going to act on that craving. Little did I know, that this would be the day I got into my first car accident and the beginning of a long and hard summer. I was shaken up, scared, and didn’t know what to do. Even though my Mom was 3 hours away at the time, my first instinct was to call her and have her stay on the phone with me while I waited for the cops to get to the scene of the accident.
While I don’t remember much of the accident, I remember my car spinning into a construction zone with workers (thankfully nobody was hurt!) and the other person angrily banging on my window and cursing at me after everything happened. Unfortunately, my car was no longer driveable and had to be towed. My Mom was able to calm me down and instructed me to call someone who was on campus for the summer and ask them if they could pick me up. The next morning I woke up to several text messages from people on campus who care about me. That morning, God showed me the people who will rally around me and support me through anything. I thank God every day for the people he has brought into my life at UMHB.
Faithful Healing
