Yesterday morning, I was in a very bad car accident.. yet I somehow walked away with only a few bruises and some body aches. In the moments leading up to striking the tree, I can remember thinking that this is what it feels like to be really and truly petrified with fear. You’re unsure if this will be the last time you see the world. In the short 10 seconds it took for me to total my vehicle, I thought of my family and how much pain I’d caused them throughout my short life. I thought of the things I’ve said to people that I never got the chance to take back. I thought of everyone, but me. I am not scared of dying, of death. I’m scared of not taking risks. I’m scared of letting life pass me by. I’m scared of leaving this world unrecognized. Many of you will not take this as a wake-up call, and I don’t blame you. But for me, this was everything. My great grandmother, my best friend, believed cardinals were the most beautiful bird. As I sat and pondered what had just happened, I turned my head and saw a red blur out of the corner of my eye. It was then that I knew I was going to be okay. I was going to walk away from this and continue to live, to change things. I had an angel on my side, an angel watching out for me - protecting me, and guiding me. I don’t know what I did to deserve such a miracle, but I am truly blessed, and so thankful to have such a wonderful life. Your prayers are all greatly appreciated.
