Unfortunate

So....

Somebody ran into my car today. Almost no cars in the parking lot and for some reason mine got backed into- I know, how ridiculous. 

But do you know what's ridiculously sweet? I responded completely differently than I thought I would. My friend once said, "Everything is overwhelming and scary until it actually happens to you. Once it happens, you just deal with it." 

Random, but I think I'm finding it to be true. El took such good care of me, even though the event itself was somewhat unfortunate. My car is still drivable, my dad still lives in the same town as me so he was able to come help me, the "runner-into" was extremely kind and considerate. And eventually I'll have a beautiful new door to replace one that was slightly dented beforehand. 

And guess what? It's just a thing. That's one of the first "things" El told me. I'm not defined by what I'm wearing or what I'm driving. I'm defined by His love; that's it. One of my profs once talked about how we could walk through the streets in a potato sack and still be worth as much as we were sitting in that room, dolled up and engaging in intellectual conversations. And now I have a chance to put it into practice. 

Cool, yep. Fun, nope. 


Oh well...and random side note, I am falling in love with "Foster the People" this week...so awesome. You should listen to them.
