near miss

today i came very close to.... death? serious injury? i don't want to know what could have happened.

as i was driving to work from my home today the sun was shining on my car windscreen and the light sort of spreaded throughout the whole car, surrounding me with bright light, such that i couldn't see a thing before, behind or even next to me..

i sort of panicked a little bit but i kept on driving, don't know where to, don't know whether there's a turning in front or not (and if you know how wind-y the road to my house is, you'll know what i mean). i decided to stop after maybe 5 seconds of driving blindly and i stopped just in time to not hit into a big pole. if i've driven any more to the left i could have drove right down the hill to who-knows-where.. and if that's not freaky enough, guess what happened next! i reversed my car, got away from the pole and continued to drive blindly for a couple more seconds before finding myself moments away from driving into a huge truck! Well, now you see what i mean? The whole day i kept thinking, what if i drove right down the hill? What if i got hit by the big truck and became paralysed? What if i died in an accident? What if i'd never see my family again? What if i'd never say goodbye?

God is gracious. God is good. I don't deserve this but he kept me safe. I don't know how close i really was to death but i know enough to be absolutely certain that if not for God's hand, something would have happened and i won't be sitting her blogging about it as if it was just another day gone by.


I cannot thank You enough my precious saviour. You've done it over and over again. Thank You. Thank You.

Thank God for his mercy and love, that you are still alive! There are many 'what ifs' in life, we can only trust Him to unfold the best for us :)
