What can I say about the recent events in my life? Getting into a car accident, totalling the car, getting your rental towed, being screwed $200 because of damage to that rental that you did not cause, getting a ticket, losing a job, losing a place to stay, and losing all the money that you once had...could make a person very bitter.

I admit. I have been bitter. I have been wondering why. I have thought to myself, "What I have done to deserve this?" Sometimes I think that God does crazy stuff to His kids just to remind them that He's there. That they need Him. Wait. Isn't that what God did in the Old Testament, New Testament, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Book of Mormon? He hurt His children to make them realize that they need Him more than ever.

I don't really know if God did all these things to teach me a lesson. My troubles are far from over, really. I have yet to find another job. I have no home (in Utah) and I really have no money. But, as I talked to my boss and his wife, I realized that everyone has to go through this period sometime in their life.

At one point in your life, you'll get into a car accident. It is unavoidable. It's gonna happen; you just have to be prepared for it. At one point in your life, you are going to be penniless. You'll go looking for money, and you won't find any. At one point in your life, you will be blamed for something you know you did not do...and there will be nothing that you can do to prove your innocence.

All these lessons will have to be learned at one point in your life. I just got to learn them all in a matter of 3 weeks. Obviously, all this sucks. It does. But...what comes down, must go up...right? :)

I know I have been pretty lame and pretty sad and pretty depressed and pretty stupid to others lately. But now, I realize...it's all part of life. It's all part of something bigger than myself. It's all a matter of time until I get back on my feet; until I have money; until I have a new car; until I make it into the film program.

What is ahead of me? Honestly, I don't know. But...I have the faith that it will be much better than what is behind me.
