Overdrive
My God just saved me from a definite tragic accident.
Two nights ago as I drove myself home, my brakes failed and I skidded on the icy road and ended right smack in the middle of a busy intersection. It was a surreal moment. I braked and instead of stopping, my car proceeded to move forward. All I could do was look to my left and raised my hand, willing the driver to stop, begging him not to hit me. I was sure I was going to die and my first thought was, please dear Lord, not before Christmas. I would hate for my family to mourn me on a joyous holiday season.
It was a miracle that everyone left that scene unscathed. As I replayed that horrifying few minutes over and over, I was more convinced that God’s hand slowed down the oncoming cars from both directions so I can safely pass.
I am thankful that I escaped that accident but it also got me to thinking. What if that was my time? And of course, being the Crazy Kaye that I am, my thoughts turned to these:
- I hate driving in the snow. We should move to Seattle tomorrow. Yeah, lets!
- Maybe I should indulge myself more in little luxuries. Eat more chocolate, use the nice teacup set I’m saving for special occasions, sing louder, shop harder.
- Oh no, I haven’t even greeted my friends and family Merry Christmas yet. Maybe I’ll visit them when I’m already a ghost.
- Oh shit, what undies was I wearing? Will I die with my ugly panties on?
Near accidents can get your brain in overdrive.

This shows that God is working behind the scene. God promises that when we choose His ways, we are choosing life and victory!……Praise God you’re safe!
