Yesterday was a whirlwind of emotion. First, I found out in the afternoon that the brakes on my corolla essentially had been destroyed through months of wear and tear. Apparently the brake pads on my car had worn down so low that brake drums started grinding into each other, which left my front brakes destroyed and my rear brakes to overheat, melt, and crack. As a result, my engine sensor also got destroyed. This was all totally unexpected--I thought I was going into the toyota dealership to get a sensor problem fixed but instead got over a thousand dollars worth of repairs done on my car. At that point, I was frustrated and angry, but I didn't know at whom to be frustrated and angry with but myself for letting it go on for so long.

In the end, I thought of Crystal and how she kept saying "it could have been worse" after breaking her ankle in a freak accident. (Like my car, she had surgery yesterday too--5 screws and one metal plate). It could have been worse. I'm thankful that I didn't drive anywhere during spring break because my brakes could have cut loose at any point. (The weather was so crappy that I didn't go. Thank God for keeping me safe.) In a way, it felt refreshing to get some brake work done on my car, knowing that it could last me for the next few years.

So after that short emotional drive, I found out right before small group that the regional/divisional directors in great lakes east came to a conclusion about where I would be placed. They had prayed and deliberated for close to 3 weeks. My placement is in CLEVELAND, OH. I haven't gotten a chance to really process the prospects of moving to ohio, but I just wanted to start getting the word out. I'm relieved that I finally know where I might be next year.
