Paranoid

I'm the kind of person who does all of my shopping last minute. If I buy someone a Christmas present early, I want to give it to them right away. I'm a very impatient person. Normally, I would go out tomorrow, but I had free time today to get some of it done. :)

I left my house this morning with one goal in mind: to get all the gifts I needed to give. That didn't happen; I'll be back out in the morning. Anywho, I didn't want to carry my purse around {my neck and shoulders are still incredibly sore} so I was using my mom's little pouch thing she usually takes to Busch Gardens {you can laugh if you'd like}.

 I pulled out of my driveway and was half way down my street when I realized I had forgotten to get my license. I didn't have a house key and neither of my parents were home. Uh oh. I knew every car was going to hit me. I drove to the gas station in the right lane going 5 under the speed limit the whole time. I had to come back home and ask my neighbors for my house key just so I could get my license. That didn't help the feeling though. There were WAY to many cars on the road. I was pretty much scared out of my mind the whole time.

Before Wednesday night, I never considered the danger in getting into a car. I knew accidents happened and I knew people get killed everyday because of it, but it never occurred to me that I could be a part of one. Thankfully, the accident we were in was nowhere near as bad as others, but it still gives you a reality check. You're days are numbered by God and God alone and no matter what you do, you just have to trust Him. After all, God is in control. :)
