Twice upon a Night

My day was going pretty good. I was one my way to the Foster's home and it was a beautiful day. I wasn't more than 15 min or less away from home. I was driving a long and this guy next to me was driving really close behind me but then he passed me. I quickly glanced at him as he passed me by. As I returned to look in back front I was about to hit a guy who had stop to let someone turn in front of him. I slammed on my breaks but it was too late. I hit him from behind but he let off his breaks so the impact wouldn't be so hard. I just lost it. I started shaking before I could cry. The guy was really nice though. He tried to calm me down and told me to sit and catch my breathe. A undercover cop car saw us and pulled over and came and talked to us. We pulled into a parking lot so we were not blocking anyone. We handled all business there and I got the ticket. But I thought about how if that guy who was driving really close behind me, if he would have still been behind me he would have slammed in the back of me. God was merciful to me. In the mean time dad came out and talked with me and was happy that everyone was ok. By this time it was time for me to head to class. So I drove to class. I was ever so carefull and took my time. I pulled into the parking lot and there was a car in front of me. She pulled into a spot and I stopped, let her pulled in and then I continued on my way. Well.. as I was pulling behind her to find my own stop she backed up pretty fast into my door. I just couldn't believe it. At any moment I thought I would wake up and laugh at this unbelievable dream. Or should I say I was hoping would be but of course I knew this was reality. I will say it wasn't my fault. What made this difficult was that the girl who ran into me had this major attitude. I was already an emotional wreck and I didn't need an attitude. I called dad again and he just couldn't believe it so he came back to my side. An RVC (campus police) police came and dealt with us and got seperate stories. No one got a ticket. Thank goodness. I went to class but I REFUSED to drive home. Mom and Dad came and got me. By that time my neck, head and back hurt. God did protect me during these trials. I do feel like he was testing me in many different areas. One of them being, do I have faith in Him first when these things happen. I will admit by the second time, I got angry but I had to stop it and ask the girl to forgive me. She was a bit surprise I said sorry. She was so mad at me and blamed me for the whole thing and I just let it go. Oh well its all over with and even though I am sore. I'm glad I'm just sore and not in the hospital. I had one crazy night. I need to learn to have faith first in situations like this.
