Praise

This past Friday (March 28th) I was headed up to Dallas to spend some time with the family and to do some wedding preparations. Well, I’ve made this drive a lot by myself for the past 3 years and I’ve never had a problem…until Friday…

On Friday I ended up between the grass that separates 45N and 45S….yeah I got run off the road by some SUV….I dodged it before it could hit me…I figured I was going to end up there anyway so yeah…it was quite a frightening experience for me. I lost complete control of my car as I skidded on the grass and mud…a lot of mud…everything happened so fast. But I praise God because she didn’t hit me or else I would probably be in a hospital or something. I praise God for the fact that I was able to get out of there without having to pay a tow truck. My dad was very surprised that I was able to get out without a tow truck because there was so much mud and grass on the car…underneath my car was full of both, and when I opened the doors mud came out, and when I opened my hood there was grass inside.

Losing control of my car though made me realize some things. The most important one being that I’m not in control. As much as I want to be in control of my life and know everything that is going to happen and where I’m going….I’m just not going to know unless God chooses to reveal everything to me…but I don’t think He is.

There have been so many things going on that have been out of my control, and I need to trust in God and know that all these things will serve a purpose for His glory.

Anyway, I wanted to share with everyone this experience and how God was with me through it. He really kept this from becoming some major accident. Praise be to Him.
