Just For Today . . .processing . . .1/27/09

Dear Holy Friends,
    I didn't write or send much out last week because I was processing. I was not sure how much to share with you all or how to share. It is very hard to put into words what it feels like to know Jesus stepped into the physical and saved a life, especially when the life was mine. It is humbling to know He acted in the situation and by so doing announced "it is not your time to go yet."
    Last Sunday, January 18, I drove onto an icy bridge and didn't really drive off of it. AS soon as I got on it, I started sliding and the car did at least one 360, and a 180, I think it did two 360's. After the first 360 I knew there was nothing I could do so I closed my eyes, pressed my head against the headrest and said, "Jesus, it's whatever you want now."
    The car crashed into the center wall of the bridge, hard. I was okay. I was able to get the flat tire changed, and the bumper pulled off of the rear tires and drove home. Monday  my left side was very sore and my left wrist still is. I will see the doctor about it, there is definitely a sprain, maybe a fracture in the little carpal bones. I am wearing a wrist brace.
    I don't know why God chose that was not my moment to join Him in heaven. But I am still awed and somewhat speechless by the way He saved me.
 
In His Grip, (More than I ever realized).

Processing
 
ice on the bridge, no,
couldn't slow enough
slipping
skidding
one complete 360
can't get it straight
car keeps spinning
how much?
close eyes, ready for end
"Jesus, it's whatever you want now"
how many rotations?
front hits something
more spinning
crash into center bridge wall
open eyes, alive still
how? why not dead?
God stepped into
the physical realm
and stopped my car
safely
saved my physical life
like
He saved my soul.
How to process?
What does it mean?
Thank you Jesus.
Thank You.
