Another reason for public transportation / Feb 21, 12:20 PM
My (Katrina’s) parents visited this past week for Mission Year’s “Come and See” weekend. We had an amazing time. It was great for them to get a firsthand perspective of what we do here, who are neighbors are, and what life is like here in Atlanta. They served in the food pantry at my service site, hung out with the children at Troy’s site, and got to hang out with most of the neighbors we are close to.
On Saturday night, we decided to take our car to Ikea instead of taking MARTA (public transportation). On the way home, we were in a car accident smack dab in the middle of I75. Troy was checking his blind spot to change lanes, and the Jeep in front of us slammed on their brakes. We couldn’t stop in time, and we slid under the Jeep. Luckily, no one in our car (including our neighbor, Sevila) was hurt. We were all wearing seatbelts, and the Lord definitely protected us from getting rear-ended by someone else. It was rather scary being stopped in the middle of 6 lanes of traffic. Now that we’re dealing with the aftermath (i.e. the $750 deductible we have on our car), it’s easy to be frustrated. I Troy and I keep reminding ourselves that it could have been much worse, and that we’re lucky we’re all safe. You can’t put a pricetag on that!
I miss my parents already, but it was nice to have a piece of home here in Atlanta for a few days.
