"RESCUE ME"

In April 2004, I was riding down the highway and my car was hit by another vehicle that was going 20 over the speed limit. The force of the crash spun my car around and forced me into the wall at full force, the airbag deployed and burned my face and my eyes. The impact left an imprint of the seatbelt in my chest. When I look back at how I was living my life, I knew who God was but, I didn't have a relationship with him. I knew what prayer was but, I never talked to God and rarely thanked him. Then on impact, when that car hit me and my truck began to spin I began to call on the Lord, it was as if everything was moving in slow motion, the car spun from the second lane of a four lane highway to the shoulder and into the wall without being hit by another car. By the Grace of God, my life was spared. I learned an important lesson that night, God is always there, he loves you and he wants to save you. As I  grew in my relationship with Him over the past 7 years I've even learned more from this accident, if I had been actively pursuing and nuturing my relationship with Christ, that entire accident could have been blocked. I am not the Captain of my own life, nor do I want to be, I trust God to be in TOTAL control of my life. You see God was always there even though I had taken detours in my life when I called on The Name of THe LOrd he was waiting for me. I now know that God is not my life jacket waiting to rescue me, but he is The Captain of my sea.
