  You always think things like this only happen to somebody else. My poor car is dead… we’ve had her for nearly 10 years, barely ever let me down, and in the blink of an eye – BAM! And she was gone… and I was on my way home from DISNEYLAND too, of all places… what a way to finish celebrating a friend’s birthday dinner at the Happiest Place On Earth today… geez… Well, here’s what happened… I was in the slow lane, decreasing speed because traffic was building up, and alluva sudden I hear this loud screeching behind me. Before I can even look up my rearview mirrors to see what was up, I get hit from what felt like behind, although I later saw that I had been hit on the passenger’s side, and I got hit HARD. Thankfully I had my seatbelt on, so I didn’t fly into the steering wheel and break my face or anything. The minute I recovered from the initial impact, my first thought was “Crap! Oh _crap_… just pull over to the right as fast as you can before another car hits you, and a pileup ensues!” As soon as I looked up after getting hit, I saw another car that was hit, and she was driving a little ways ahead of me and already pulling over. I pulled over right behind her, which was a little complicated, because her back bumper had fallen off and underneath my car, which was making it a little hard to maneuver. We both stopped and stayed in our car for a few minutes. During those minutes, I was scared to get out… I didn’t want to open the door and potentially get hit by another vehicle that was trying to swerve away from the accident. Eventually, we both got out, asked each other if we were okay, and looked behind us. A white van was lying upside down about 20 feet behind us. “Oh God…” Me and the other girl who got hit walked over. Several other cars had stopped, one sheriff and two priests traveling together we talking to this woman who apparently was the driver and had just crawled out of her car. Amazingly, she seemed okay as well – not bleeding, no fractures or broken bones from what we could see, and she was already on the phone with her husband while we were explaining to the sheriff and two priests what had happened. We tried to ask the woman what happened, but it was hard, as she didn’t speak English quite so well… from what we could understand though, it seemed as if she had swerved to try to avoid hitting another car, and ended up hitting me and the other girl, Colleen, instead. Eventually more police showed up and questioned everyone on the scene. I got the time to walk back to my car and check just how badly I was hit… it sure as heck wasn’t pretty… The miracle in all this – NOBODY was hurt!!! Colleen was fine, albeit a little a shaken. I stepped out of the car completely okay, save for a small scrape where my elbow was on the armrest of my seat when I got hit. And the woman who hit us, as I said before, wasn’t even bleeding, hadn’t broken or scratched anything as far as we could see – her husband later picked her up and drove her home without anybody even needing to call an ambulance! My parents later picked me up, and we all went home thanking Jesus that no one had died, let alone gotten hurt… the pictures above are only the pictures of my car, but if you could have seen how much damage was done to the other two cars as well, you’d be all the more amazed that all three of us walked away from this without even a scratch! Something does seem a bit fishy to the police officers though. After inspecting the damage from all three cars, they think a fourth was involved, but if that was so, that fourth car didn’t stick around, so they’re suspecting a hit and run case here. If that’s so, keep that person in your prayers everyone, that s/he doesn’t do any further damage on the freeway… things like this really put life into perspective… you realize that all it takes is just a few horrible seconds for your life to get taken away from you… and for me to be spared like this… all I can do now is pray that God can give me enough goodness to not take for granted the fact that my mother still prays for me every time I walk out the front door to drive somewhere. / ___________ I want to thank You, Lord / For life and all that’s in it / Thank You for the day / And for the hour and for the minute / I know many are gone / I’m still living on / I want to thank You I went to sleep last night / And I arose with the dawn / I know that there are others / Who’re still sleeping on / They’ve gone away / You’ve let me stay / I want to thank You Some thought because they’d seen sunrise / They’d see it rise again / But death crept into their sleeping beds / And took them by the hand / Because of Your mercy / I have another day to live Let me humbly say / Thank You for this day / I want to thank You ~ Maya Angelou

  Time is the enemy of us all. / It shall wait for no man, short or tall. The faithful servant repeated these words. / He knew that the enemy seeks to devour. / He knew it was the final hour. He looked to God to bring him some help. / He required assistance from the Man in the sky. He trusted God to bring him out of the mess. / His faith delivered us from the evil one. / This we must confess. His faith leads us not into temptation. / His faith delivered us from our own elevation. His faith brought us into the land to stay. / Man has gone astray. Nevertheless, the faithful servants have remained. / God gave them a new name. Your name shall no longer be X. / X is the unknown factor. The Y and the X shall meet again. / They shall meet each other at the Oracle of life. The faithful leader understands the X factor. / The mystery of God is not meant for man. It is a mystery why we are still here. / By and by, we are always near. / And as sure as day follows day, / It will become quite clear why we are here! Faith and Fate met at an intersection one day, / And there was a head on collision! God saved them both! / Blessed is the child that walks not in the way of sinners. / Blessed is the child that will not sit in the seat of the scornful. / His delight belongs to God. / His delight is his faithfulness to the Ruler of Heaven and Earth.
