Baby when I wrecked Soozie, MY LORD. I was distraughttuuhh. It was my first ever actual wreck, my first time totaling a car, my first time almost not being here from driving reckless while intoxicated & angry.
Now Iceland(my new boo’s name), is a reflection of humble beginnings - I had the cash a few times to just up & buy the car I REALLY wanted this past year but something always came uuuppp.😭It was God’s redirection and protection thou.
I just left it alone, & let it settle in my soul that I didn’t have to have a car at the time, for one - it’s just the hyper independence in me. & two - I had to be okay with maybe not getting the car I wanted anymore, since it seemed that it wasn’t meant.
All that to say - God’s will, GOD’S WAY! You (yes, you reading this) are probably being soooo forceful and gungho on getting a new car right now and it’s just not meant. Give it time, God KNEW I was not ready to get a new car. The things I was doing to wreck my Soozie, I was still doing while searching for a new car. That car I was sooo stuck on getting might have been the car I left this world in.
SO WAIT! 🙇🏽♀️🫂
From my experience, dealing with a serious car wreck was one of the most eye-opening moments of my life. Initially, I was overwhelmed with guilt and fear, especially since it was my first total loss and almost fatal incident caused by reckless behavior. However, this accident was a turning point that encouraged me to rethink my approach to life and decisions, especially about getting a new car. The car I ended up with, affectionately named Iceland, represents much more than transportation; it symbolizes a fresh start grounded in humility and gratitude. Despite having the money to buy the car I always wanted, I realized that the timing simply wasn’t right. This pause taught me valuable lessons about patience and trusting God’s plan for me. My previous reckless actions showed me I wasn’t ready, and forcing things could have led to tragic consequences. Decorating Iceland with thoughtful touches like non-slip pedals, air fresheners, and personalized car decor helped me reclaim my joy and independence in a safer way. It’s a reminder that sometimes accepting a humble beginning isn’t a setback but an opportunity to grow wiser and appreciate the blessings we have. If you find yourself anxious or frustrated about not having what you want right now—especially when it comes to significant purchases like a car—take a moment to reflect. Consider whether this waiting period could be protecting you, guiding you to a better path. Trust, patience, and self-awareness can transform obstacles into new beginnings that are richer and more rewarding.
