I want to share with you something that happened to me Friday morning. I was driving over to a friend’s house for a weekly prayer meeting. It was about 6AM and I was driving on Silas Creek Pkwy when I saw the flash of an SUV sliding toward me. The SUV was traveling in the opposite direction and hit a sheet of black ice, forcing it to spin across a median and into my lane. I didn’t know what to do but scream and hold on. The car hit me pretty hard, pinning the door up next to my thigh. They had to cut the door off to get me out and I received further medical care at Wake Forest Medical Center to include 6 stitches in my forehead and 6 staples in the side of my head. Later that day we went over to the wreckers to get my belongings out of my car. We drove by the car twice and didn’t even recognize it as ours. I had no idea it was that bad.
This was the most frightening experience I have ever had. And the thought of it all and the fact that God spared my life brings me to tears. It reminds me of how temporal this life is and that every day is a gift from God. I am doing much better today with the help of medication. Please pray for a quick recovery and that we would all treasure this life that God has so graciously given to us. You are all deeply loved by a heavenly Father who is caring for your needs, whether you realize it or not. Now I can relate to King David’s words in Psalm 139:5-6.
“You hem me in-behind and before;
You have laid your hand on me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.”
May God bless you,
Jeff
