Basically, Monday I went shopping. It was for a few hours but naturally, I got tired, feet hurt, etc. After all, I am 19. Anyway, I was driving home tired. It was around 4:45 pm. Well, I was almost home, and I started to feel like I was falling asleep. I should have turned the music up, etc. But, of course I never thought something could happen to me. So, I kind of started to relax more and more as I was nearing my house. Well, I guess I dosed off. Next thing I know, I open my eyes, to woods right in front of me. I was driving half on someone's lawn, and half on the side of the road, my car on an angle. I was on the opposite side of the road also. I quickly swerved my car, hoping I could "miss" the woods. I did. But, I had no control of my car. I was going 50 and trying to get back on the road, while pressing the breaks did not work, not turning the wheel, just enough to stay on the road.
My car went across the road into someones yard, and spun. All I did was press the break, and quietly say, "Oh God. Oh God. Please God, please." My car tires were screeching and I just hoped the car would come to a stop. It did. I pressed the gas, and shaking, drove out of someones yard (Thank God, I didn't hit any houses). I was still shaking when I got home. It was funny because as soon as I "woke up" I thought, wow this is unbelievable, oh my, I hope my car will be okay. Oh boy I should probably call dad if I won't be able to get out of the yard." Now I think about it and say, thank you Lord that there were no cars anywhere, no people, no houses. It was by God' s mercy alone that there were no cars. There are always two or three cars on that road when I drive.
So if you could thank the Lord with me, I would like that. I am fine, my new car is totally fine, and the surroundings are fine.
Later, when I was driving to youth, which I almost didn't because of what happened. I seriously was going to take a longer route, so I wouldn't have to pass by where I

ReplyDeleteOh Praise the Lord!
I was in the same situation last week. i came back from UA sat. night and slept on Sunday. Then after sunday evening church i wanted to go shopping b/c i wanted to buy something for kids camp and myself.I remember my Mom telling to stay home and sleep! Back from walmart I was driving w/my sister Tanya at night. almost next to my home too. And I did notice I was sleepy and thought of the dangers if I fell asleep, how funny right? I did not notice that I also doze off, when I opened my eyes my car was on the other side of the rode and I quickly swirred off to the right lane. I'm like "Tanya didnt you see ?" and she says "I just thought you didnt drive for a long time and were trying out..."being back from UA and not driving for a month. It scared me and I told her not to tell anyone! But Thank God for no cars and keeping us safe!!!
Yeah, when I was driving, right before that I thought "oh my now I see how ppl fall asleep, but I definitely won't...and 3 seconds later...I did!" Also, I wasn't gonna tell anyone either, but I figured there was no damage to anything so might as well. You I understand b/c ur mother told you not to go. lol. Thank God there were no cars for you and I cuz I too ended up on the other side of the road, and swerved so I wouldn't drive into the forest, but ended up on the other person's lawn across the road, probably the speed and quick turning of the car.
ReplyDeleteGod saved me in a similar situation (twice). Most recently, it was during a winter 2011 blizzard storm, I was going 65+ on the thruway!!! It was like 4 or 5am and I was in a rush to get home. I was really upset, crying, tired, and kept missing my exit! As I was crying out to God in my angst, it was THEN that I lost control of my vehicle. PRAISE GOD that there happened to be ZERO cars anywhere near me, I did numerous 360s, and had visions of crashing and just going off the road. Thank God for His spirit, when I burst out in prayer (of the spirit) and God saved me!!!!!!!! It was as if He put His hand on my car, stopped it, and put back in place! PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD! I will forever remember this moment, and forever know that He is truly the author of my precious life. To Him be all glory! Jesus loves us :) :) :)
