Thank God for Zoloft

I have bad news. Friday on my way home from work, I got in yet another car accident. A pick up truck knocked me off the road and I charged into a road sign and knocked over a light pole. The power lines fell on my car and my airbags bruised up my face a little. It was awful I had to sit in the car for nearly an hour before I could get out. All I could do was cry. My left hand must have jumped when I got hit and the airbags must have collided with my wrist because I had a huge blister on my wrist. I popped it but it is still a big red mark. As if I didn't get enough stares from my crippled hand, now I have this big ugly red/brown mark on my hand. I also have scars on my face and neck from the airbag and seat belt. Fortunately I did not get a ticket this time because I was not at fault. Unfortunately the guy that hit me did not get a ticket either and I do not have full coverage so I just lost another car. I was so upset.

 

How could God let me get hit by a car 6 days before my birthday? How could I get in 2 car accidents before even having my license for a year? I worked so hard to get mt license and my car. Why did this have to happen right when the medical review board is reviewing my files? What if they take my license away? Why does bad stuff always happen to me? Am I being punished or cursed? I just do not understand. All these thoughts were running through my head as I sat in the car enduring the pain.

 

Luckily, I have been taking my anti-depressant. My cousin stayed the night with me after I got in the accident and we went to my grandmother's birthday party. My whole family was there and it was a lot of fun. Nobody even could tell I'd just gotten in an accident the day before. I am so thankful I had so many positive distractions this weekend. My life had been going so great. Driving wherever I want, going to work every day making money, going out to movies and get togethers with friends every weekend. It was like the life I always wanted since high school. I still dont understand why this accident happened.

 

Even if I do get to keep my license , I do not want to drive anymore. I was so careful so cautious, I learned my lesson from the first accident, I was finally starting to drive in faith, not fear. Finally trusting God to keep me safe and drive as safe as I could. I just do not want to waste money on another car. I am really considering moving to the Atlanta metro area (where hopefully I wont need a car) with some of my family and trying to start over. My life is not over I just have to go in a new direction. I am determined to be happy and live my life as best I can as long as Im stuck on this earth.

accidents happen, glad no one was hurt, cars can be repaired or bought. BTW moving to metro area sounds like good idea so you won't need car & still get job done. Katrina you are here for a reason & not stuck on earth, I know it is hard to believe right now but something good will come out of this, we don't know the whole story of our life, but believing whatever it is its going to turn out in your favor, maybe moving to metro will be that step. just trust in God & hang in there. God does not punish us, he gives us strength to get through difficult situation

God is not punishing us----- it sorta sucks he doesent seem to help us out either... But sometimes you are given the tools you need to deal with the crisis.. and look you are dealing with the crisis... I won't pretend to know all about god.. but i do believe there is one.. and when we humans got "free will" we got all the fun that goes with it... why did god give free will? well, beyond the whole adam and eve thing -- god wants us to love him not forced love or the kind we have no choice over but the kind that is only given with free will. we are his children and he is the parent we have many lessons to learn and just as children dont undrestand why no candy before supper- we don't always understand -why - either.. But i believe each of us have our own destiney to learn the things we need to learn most...we might not know what they are and they might not have anything to do with the current crisis- just a small piece of a very big puzzel... these are my beliefs forged by tears and loss... but i share them with the utmost respect as not everyone believes as i do and i do not want to offend just share... and you ended your blog the best way---- be happy and live your life the best you can... that is the answer i believe be as good as you can... nancyl
