It's your fault you were the back driver

So I decided to share with you guys my presentation for English.

In cases of car accidents, is the rear driver always the party at fault?
The rear driver is not always the one who is in the wrong.

There are drivers who back into cars.

Stop at green lights.

And cut people off in lanes.

Why is it that the rear driver considered the party at fault?
Because the law assumes its the rear driver, due to the fact that in most(bumper) collisions the rear driver has been proven to be following to close to the front car's bumper.

How do the police determine who's at fault?
They determine by percentage. If a driver is 51% in the wrong they get the ticket, 49% and under are ticket free.

Should they change this law?
Yes!
Because it's not completely accurate, if one person is more in the wrong then the other they should still give the other driver a lower charge.



Here is the car I hit on December 11, 2010. They were stopped at a green light, and I didn't find a way of escape soon enough.



Here is my car. My airbag deployed, the hood is up like a tent, resolving in a none fixable or drivable car.

(It drives me crazy seeing these two pictures, seeing how little damage was done to the other car, and how much damage was done to mine.)

Not only did I have to pay the ticket (which I believe I should of received a ticket.) I paid for a class I had to take, on top of my insurance going up. And the other driver, probably only fixed his bumper. I think that he should of gotten a low price ticket, because 1 he was stopped at a green light, 2 They don't know if he was txting while driving, and if his car was stalled, as he said it was, he should of warned other drivers with his warning lights.

Solution

The government should change how they determine who's at fault in a car accident.
If both drivers are close to being at fault, then both drivers should get a ticket.
The one who has a lower percentage of fault should get a lesser charge.
And they should come up with new ways on figuring out who didn't react properly.

Hope I convinced you with my topic. :D

Peace of Mind

Have you ever had that feeling where there's so much going on and it even seams like complete and utter ciaos, but yet somehow you feel completely calm in the storm? Yeah that's how I feel right now, I feel at peace with everything in life, not that I'm lazy with how life is, I'm just at peace. I guess a another way of saying it is, I'm happy. Oh how happy I am in the mist of the storm I fear not, for I trust that God will get me through the thunder and lightning.

Lately I had been completely frustrated with school, work, and time. I had no time, my time was spent doing school, work, and homework, and when I had time I wasted it sitting on the couch watching television (useless). The worst part was I wasn't spending Time with God, I had become so boring in my quiet time, and church had become a ritual and my time of repentance instead of a time to gather together with other believers. Oh how I've spent so much time in regret over not spending the time I should of with my Lord and Savior. I know I'm not the only one that has felt this way, and there are even some people that feel this way now, but you know what... It will be okay, There's nothing you can do that can separate you from the love of Christ.

I've spent such little time in prayer, reading, and worship that it's affected my attitude. When I don't spend time reading the Word, or praying it heavily affects me, I become grumpy, sick, and frustrated, it's highly strange.
But lately even though I haven't read my Bible a ton, I have been spending time in prayer, and you know what.... I'm at peace. I didn't realize how at peace I was until Saturday. I had just gotten home from my friend Abby and Shane's house after spending the night after an amazing dance. When I was home, I was exhausted sure, but somehow I was at peace, and let me tell you, I'm in the mist of a storm.
I have School, Work, Homework, and play practice this week, and for the past few weekends I've had something going on. Believe me I thoroughly enjoyed the past few weekends, but I've definitely been tired, and this weekend I was beyond tired, plus I had come to terms with something that weekend that didn't really go my way. While all of this was happening a wave of calmness came over me, I can't even explain! I'm at peace about everything, even the thing that didn't go how I'd hoped I was at fine about it.

God's been doing so much and I'm just so much in love with him!
And for those who might feel the same way, just frustrated with life, I want you to know this... Spend time in prayer, talk to God about everything, tell him your problems, and even if your somewhat "mad at him" tell him; God is there to listen to us and he knows that we have our problems and only wants us to spend time with him.

Night and day

Lately I've been very moody at home. Getting frusterated easily, Ect... I hate it because I know I'm not usually like this, but at the same time I fell like I'm just letting everything out. I have been getting upset with school stuff and home stuff feeling as though I have no time for anything I want to do any more. And I feel as though it's because I'm trying to do it by myself. We weren't meant to do things on our own. God wants to do them with us. So i'm trying very hard to give it to God when in reality I still want to control it. And yet I know that if I try to take control it will crumble in my hands. All things we do are distended to fail with out God, and that's the truth.

I hate feeling stressed and annoyed but that's how I've been feeling, I feel like a perinoid psychotic person who can't control what their thinking. I fel insane and useless. Because I don't know how or really even why I've feeling like this. The hardest thing that we can do is give up our control over our lives. For some reason it's so hard and difficult to believe that God knows all, his LCD is abundant and his will is right. Trust in the Lord and all will be fine.

New point of view

February had been a hectic.
School about 20 hours a week, HCEC 12 hours a week , Burn 8 hours a week, Thorn 4 hours a week, and _Tag 2 hours a week; These are the hours that I'm going none stop (these are hypothetical, they could be less or more)
It seemed that I couldn't find time to just relax.

But I have to say this past week seemed different.
After _Tag Wednesday the 17th God had put on my heart to pray for certain people.
Now when God puts something on your heart it starts to weigh more and more, especially if you don't do it right away. But the weight on my heart was more of a understanding, I understood why God had put this person on my heart to pray for. During this Time I had especially been reading the last part of Psalms 45. (read it so good) I didn't know how these things were intertwined but they were.

Fast forward to last week.
On Tuesday at burn we were praying for the night of desperation; so powerful my friends, to see young men and woman of God praying for God to work in our generation.
I was so touched from it that i was hoping that there would be another prayer meeting.

Wednesday 24th, Night of Desperation.
Every Wednesday after setting up, there's a prayer meeting in the Tag cafe (tag chapel)
and every week I go, but this week was different. as so many young men and woman gathered in that small room to pray for that night, it was so amazing! as we prayed an Image appeared in my head, of thousand people, young and old, walking around in chains, crying and aching for someone to set them free. then a bright light shines and a young teens chains are broken, the teen begins to sing praises to God, and then an even brighter light shines and all the peoples chains are broken.
One by one they pick up their chains and walk toward a throne and lay it at the feet of the King, then they sing praises.
I was shocked I've never had such an image of great hope and joy ever.
later that night as we prayed for one another, me and a friend prayed for each other, and I knew that God was speaking through us, to each other.
and then as we were praying for people, fear, loneliness, things that the satan has placed on people's hearts, I walked for a bit and asked God who do I pray for, seeing people gather over one person and over another I wondered, "Is there were I go?" "No" I finally found someone and prayed over her. God was speaking to her, I know it. Then we were going to pray for those who felt lonely. I walked again and found a young girl in the corner with her friend. I walked over and asked her name, then started to pray. As I prayed God's words flowed out of me, God was there in that moment as it was me, this young girl and her friend. The young girl began to cry and I began to cry. I've never experienced God through praying for someone else, but I know that I did.

I literally was shaking at the end of the night, I don't know how to explain it.
What Psalms 45 talks about towards the end of the chapter, it talks about a young woman, who men find favor in her, she is dressed in garments of beauty and gold, she is taken to the King along with her virgin companions. That image is us and God; we are brought into his presence and He is pleased with us. God has put young teen girls in my heart to pray for because, many find them selves ugly, displeasing, and useless. I want them to understand that they aren't, and that Psalms 45 proves it!

I have a new view point on fellowship, prayer, and God's presence. what about you?
