I was originally going to post this for yesterday's Sunday post, but seeing how my church is at 2... I didn't get around to it. Sorry about that! So I moved it up to today and somehow made it motivational... hopefully ;)
So just this last Friday Me, my mom, and my older brother were driving home at 2:30 a.m from my Grandma's house. (Yes, super late I know haha) and we were heading northbound on the on-ramp on Center St in Provo, Utah. We were getting ready to turn. I was in the backseat, my brother was in the passenger, and my mom was driving. As we were turning we saw a car that had slid down into the embankment. My mom immediately said "Let's pull over and call 911!" There were no other cars currently on the road and it didn't appear that anyone else had called 911 to make sure the person in the car was okay. But before we had time to think a second thought, we too began to slide. We hit a big area of black ice. From what felt like an eternity, in reality we had only slid for a couple seconds before my mom was able to gain control of the car. There have been very few experiences where I have felt horrible terror and fear like this. I thought we were going to slide down into the embankment just like the other car, but to my hope... we did not. Looking back though, I knew we were being watched over. We were literally a couple feet away to something that could've been so horrific. Once we were able to pull to the side of the road, we called 911. They had 2 police cars come as well as an ambulance just in case. It turns out that the driver of the other car was okay and had no injuries whatsoever. Thank goodness, right? Before we left we said a prayer that we'd be watched over as we drove the rest of the way home. Surprisingly as we left, I felt something where I knew we'd be okay. And we were. I am so thankful for that. As I thought of an idea of how I'd tie this story into my blog I began thinking of how much we truly are watched over. Even at times when we are totally oblivious to it. I also thought of the Cokeville Miracle where their ancestors came and watched over them. We may not be able to see them, but we can know that everyone is going to be okay. I hope you guys have an awesome Monday and great rest of the week... And DRIVE SAFE! ;) If you haven't yet, check out the new Q.O.T.W and P.O.T.W. :)

Ponderize Of The Week:
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." - James 1:5-6 Quote Of The Week:
"Give it to God and go to sleep." - Unknown |
