sunday started beautifully.
woke up in a wonderful mood.
i got up bright and early, actually GOT READY, and was even 30 minutes EARLY.
WHAT.
i wish i could say that i did that all on my own without any reason why but... the only reason i was actually on time and early was because i was singing in sacrament meeting.
and guess what, IT WENT GREAT.
it was such a good sunday you guys!!!
the speakers were SO good, i survived through my song, our wonderful stake president spoke, and the rest of our classes that day were amazing.
and after church, i actually made myself some food -other than cereal- and headed off to ward choir practice.
WILLINGLY.
like i said, it started off as a great sunday.
i was so excited when i received this shirt from @shopamara clothing in the mail.
my sister has a similar shirt like this in teal and i've been jealous ever since.
also, i love getting packages in the mail.
online shopping is possibly my new kryptonite.
anyways,
teal would've been a lovely color but
BLUSH PINK IS MY FAVORITE COLOR GUYS.
i needed it in my life.
the high neck, the ruffled cuffed sleeves and collar, the peplum bottom??
it was a perfect find if i do say so myself.
okay back to sunday.
i've been needing to do a blog post for a while now and sunday was one of my only days this week that i could take pics.
as i was debating whether or not to do them inside or outside because of the cold & snowy weather, i just decided to be bold and drive up to the canyon to do them.
the roads weren't that bad and it was early enough in the day i thought we'd be fine right?
-what could go wrong?-
we were coming back home from out of the canyon and sooooo excited to get home where it was nice and warm.
when we saw a car slip on the road.
we were just like "woah did you see that?"
but i didn't think much of it because we were all the way over on the opposite side of the road going the other way i didn't think anything bad was going to happen to us.
then another car hit that patch on the road and started slipping.
this car wasn't so lucky at correcting and it started to slide through the two lanes that were separating this now sliding car and.... me.
and let me tell ya, THAT was terrifying.
a car was sliding STRAIGHT towards me.
i didn't have any time to really do anything. i couldn't speed up. i couldn't slow down. either way this car was going to hit me.
i saw the car coming out of the corner of my eye almost perpendicular to my drivers side.
i knew at that moment that we were going to get hit and that this was REALLY happening.
i remember hearing myself scream,
"WE'RE DYING"
to my roommate,
(who literally just stayed calm and said "you're okay you're okay you're good we're okay it's going to be okay" the whole time)
and then our car got pushed/we drove off to the side of the road and into a snow bank.
it kind of felt like a rollercoaster ride.
(haha so were my emotions after that point!)
i didn't cry because of shock.
i mostly cried because my car (whom i love so very much) was now crushed.
but i am so so so thankful that nobody got hurt.
my car accident could've ended a lot worse than it was.
but holy cow i am so grateful for a Father in Heaven who is looking out for me.
and for the power of prayer.
i was praying that whole trip for protection.
from the moment i got in the car and started driving there i was constantly praying.
-because okay the canyon can give ya a lil anxiety especially in the snow-
and even though it didn't end in the way that i thought it would... even though i still got hit... i didn't have a scratch on my body, no broken bones, and me and my roommate are still alive.
-the other car was totally fine as well- so that's also good!
this week has been a little rough ugh and it's only tuesday but i know that it'll get better.
and i know God has a plan for all of us.
and that He KNOWS where i am at all times and what i NEED.
and that there is always something to learn from the trials and experiences that we go through.
even though i don't know what that is right now, this experience has truly been humbling and it reminds me to never take the moments in life that we have for granted.
people say all the time, "you never know when it'll be your last"
but that could not be more true.
love others, love often, and live life to it's fullest!
tell the ones you love that you love them and share that love with the rest of the world.
tell your family you love & miss them.
tell you friends.
be there for other people and let other people be there for you.
(that's one i am DEFINITELY having to work on, especially since the accident)
haha i just like being independent and i feel like i can do everything by myself and on my own and that i don't need anybody else... however we all need to let people in!
we will only grow so much more if we do.
we can't do it all on our own.
we need Heavenly Father in our lives constantly.
we need His constant protection.
His constant love and support.
WHICH WE HAVE. ALWAYS. NO MATTER WHAT.
He never abandons us!!!
i know that to be true.
thank you for all of your kind words and support the past few days. all of your texts, calls, and little check ups to see if i'm doing okay!
i love you all thanks for reading!
