Wouldn’t you know that it often can take a car accident to find out more who you truly are?
I’m living it, now that I caused an accident with my x-wife Sandra’s car…and another total loss accident for another member of the family…Self-disgust is not a good position to be in, knowing that I blew it in such a demonstrable way!!
It’s a challenge not to move into a phase of second-guessing myself. I mean, I can’t just stop driving! I still have a life to run and I need this mode of transportation to get my business done. I have really struggled to come to terms with my brokenness…
It would be great to live a life of NO RESPONSIBILITIES and live care-free…foot loose and fancy-free…but real life is not like that. So I took on the responsibility of paying my fair share and certainly apologizing—more than once—for my misstep…
I have learned about myself that I am a person of good come-backs and I have been driving extra-specially carefully as of late. I don’t ever want to get in another accident. One of the things that will help this be my truth is to always map out—at least in my mind—where I am going and relaxing knowing. It may take some time to get there.
I thank God for the blessings of being able to learn from my mistakes! Lord, help me be a man of CHARACTER who learns my lessons as they present themselves—learning to overcome my mistakes and revel in the deep waters of knowing that I am always doing my best!
