God's Grace

Monday after class I was heading to work, over Kent’s Ridge. Due to an early morning rain the roads were still wet. About the 3rd or 4th curve, I about ran off the road and I must have somewhat panicked. Therefore the rest of the incident is quite a blur I do remember going over into the left lane while my foot was heavily on the break and hitting the guard rail. During this time I remember thinking I am going to die, my foot is on the break and I am not stopping. Thus I slide into the guard rail and thankfully I stopped. (As mama said it was my guardian angel that held my car) What is so special about me that God allowed me to stop within (it seemed) like inches from the edge? As you all know I can not answer this question but I do KNOW that I am very thankful and blessed to have been able to continue driving my car and that I was not injured. After I started breathing again I pull over to see the damage done to my car. The way I hit it sounded like it tore up the entire left side. When I get out (quite shakily) I see that not only can I open my door but the front bumper was ‘slightly’ scratched. Before arriving at work I call the parents and tell them what had happened. Thus dad and mom came down to see the damage done to my car. Dad also noticed the damaged done to the back end that I had not even noticed. Amazingly the headlight was not damaged and the front bumper was still attached. So to end this post I would like to say:
I am very thankful the way God watches over His own! Thankful that there was not a car coming the other way! Thankful I am not in control of my life and that I do not know what tomorrow holds! I am VERY thankful in many ways I can not even express!Also I would like to thank my wonderful parents who not even once fussed at me but jokingly said we could salvage parts of the red car!

Emmo, we're glad that you (and the car) are ok as well. Gabe had to hear every detail of the wreck several times over so I'm sure he's going to ask you about it when we see you next.
