Her Life Flashed Before Her Eyes...


She made the right turn and hugged the sidewalk so as to avoid oncoming traffic in the lane beside her...a large and slow moving sewage truck just ahead of her and an electric blue dodge ram hemi pulling a trailer transporting a lawn mower. The enormous truck barreling down the hill she had just come from as she looks over her left shoulder to merge her way into the fast traveling lane. The blue truck far enough off for her to make her way in she begins....she hears a loud whistling noise to her left and behind her, but thinks not much of it! She should have glanced over her left shoulder once more...the driver of the blue truck had become overwhelmed with rage at the realization of her desire to get into 'his' lane!....he sped up and at this point she was 75% of the way into 'his' lane but still 25% in her starting lane....The blue truck now just beside her and partially in the center turning lane without a moments give of increasing speed...he was not going to let her finalize her entrance into 'his' lane. As he merges back toward her honda civic in an attempt to push her back to the her original lane, his wheel is riding on her driver door and with his still increasing speed his headlight snaps her left view mirror off....She makes a desperate attempt to merge back into her original lane, but by now the sewage truck is on her right......she watches her mirror disappear into thin air within a splite second and she thinks 'this is it'....she blacks out and releases control as she is about to be crushed between two huge machines!!!!!!!!!


Life so fleeting....Life so precious....Life so fragile....Life so not within her control to live....Life almost taken without regard....Yet, her Life so protected by her Protector and Friend. She is reminded of arguing with the one she loved here and what a waste of time it was....She is realizing that she should have just enjoyed him for the fullness of who God created him to be....She is realizing that praising her King is crucial to being covered in grace....She is grasping the importance of just dripping with love and not resentment, hate, shame, guilt of jealousy.....She is learning to be grateful for every moment of life as He can give and take away to make us stronger for the journey while we temporarily squat here on earth...She is shaken!!!!
