my car wrecks have changed me for the better

Most of my car wrecks have changed me
For the better
They make me reassess my journey
Probably because I usually expect to die
But I never have …..

I have had three big ones
Each time I thanked God for my life
And told Him I was ready to come home
He let me down all three times

Showing me I have more to do
Each of the three times
I changed courses
Realizing I was not on my best path

All three times I found myself in a better place
More true to myself
And closer to Him
