Wintry Mix

Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time

My Ice/Snow/Near-Death Story

My roommate and I drove to North Carolina last Friday evening to deliver a car. We were driving down Long John Mountain as snow was falling rapidly. My little Mazda took the curves with slight agitation and slipping. I regained composure. As we rounded the "bad hill" I lost control of the wheel. The car began to careen into the other lane, turning almost perpendicular to the road. It slid off the embankment/road/mountain, as I frantically pulled up the emergency brake. After some heavy breathing, I was coaxed out of the car by my roommate, who had to pull over her vehicle and walk up to my wreck. I saw that only a pile of debris and a couple of thin trees were holding my car in place. I was wedged in. After the tow truck came and pulled me out, I realized that God's arm had slid me into that hole. A few inches up the mountain, and I could've fallen further down the hill. A foot lower, I may have toppled upside down. Who knows. I just know that the Lord protected me. Always an adventure.

Addendum: It then snowed Sunday night in South Carolina which holed me up for 3 days without work. I did some sledding and driving though. And had a couple awesome walks with my precious nephew Ayden. I love the Lord! I don't give Him enough credit for all He is and does.
