Disciple of Prayer
This is gonna be a long post. I know that God has more for my life and I have started to take steps to better my health and relationship with Him. I am asking for prayer for continued healing and improvement of my health so that I can live for Him and lead my family through Christ, in Jesus' name. This year is the 20th anniversary of when I should have died. In 2005 I was working a graveyard shift for my employer at the time. I got off early at 3am that morning so that I could attend the funeral of my friend and ex-employer ### from ### in ###. At the time I was living in ### and the commute from ### was about 30 min. Once I hit the highway, I set the cruise control for 70mph. I was about half way home on Hwy ### when I fell asleep. My car started to veer off the road. The next thing I remember was the sound of my tires on gravel. I quickly realized I had gone off the road so I started to merge back into my lane. As I did, my left front tire hit a hole at the edge of the asphalt. It caused my tire to blow and my wheel was almost grabbed by the road and I began to flip end over end. Into the first flip, I did the only thing that I could think to do and cried out to God to save me. Almost immediately I felt a warmth wrap around me and hug me against my seat. The car then flipped end over end twice and rolled on its side five more times over 100 yards before landing parallel with the road facing the direction I was going. I sat there in shock for I don't know how long but when I came around, I began to try to open my door which was crushed shut. The passenger door was also crushed so I went back to the driver's side to attempt to climb out the window. There was broken glass everywhere including my hair and in my mouth, none of which cut me. I was able to get out of the window and turn around to see my pulverized car. Every window was gone and the roof was crushed down a foot and a half. I couldn't believe that I was still alive. The only injury I sustained in the crash that day. Thank you Jesus for always being there when I need you. "I will not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord." Psalm 118:17
