I Hit a Tree!!!

Okay so when I was in high school of course my goal was to get to 16 so that I can drive. The summer before I turned sixteen I finish my driving classes but I had to wait until I turned sixteen to actually get my license. My birthday is January and I finished my driving classes in August. (I promise I'm trying to make a point here).
So anyway I had a temporary license which allowed me to drive only with a licensed driver. I was okay with that only for so long. I my mind I thought man, I finished my classes! I passed! Let ME do this! I got this!
One day I really needed to get something from the store to finish dinner and my mom was home but she was talking on the phone and didn't feel like going to the store with me. I asked her if I can drive myself she said yes, but mind you she was on the phone so she wasn't really focused.
Happily I got the keys and drove to the store By Myself. I got there safely. On my way back I dropped an item off my lap(don't ask why it was in my lap) below me near the gas and break peddles. Instead of just trying to slow down or stop I tried to grab it while I was driving. Bad idea because when I looked up there was a tree trying to split my car in half. After realizing this was not a dream and a lot of panic, I managed to get back in the car and put it into gear and drive it home. Yes DRIVE it home.
Anyway when I'm in the shower I think a lot and yesterday I thought about this blog. I thought "Hey that's not the only time I hit a tree". I can remember when I finally decided to fully commit to the will of God for my life. I had hit a tree and it tried to split my life. This tree was everything I idolized over God, failing me. This tree in my life was God's way of slowing me down. Telling me that I can do nothing on my own time but I have to wait for the right time and the right time is God's time. What I like most about my story was that after I hit the tree yes my car looked like it was destroyed but I got back in and trusted that I would be able to drive it home. I didn't look at the state my car was in I knew it was a strong car. Same with my life, at one point I thought I was destroyed I thought I would never see joy again but God showed me that I wasn't at all destroyed. All I have to do is trust him and I will see how far he would take me just as I am.
