Only two weeks in and its been a crazy insane month!! A few events...
Hit and Run!! While waiting at a red light, I got SLAMMED into by the car behind me!! Pulling over to the left side, the woman behind me also pulls to the left side and falls in line behind me. I put my car in park and open my door...and in a flash...she jets back into traffic and presses the pedal to the metal to run away from me!! Oh no you didnt!! I quickly get back in my car (with seatbelt i promise) and chase after her...haha!! Cross three lanes of traffic, grab a pen, and jot her license plate number and car info on my hand! I pull into a parking lot and call 911 to report it! The cop arrived...she was super nice...and together we discovered that amazingly there was ZERO damage! And I just thought it was crazy because i was hit so hard!! Only the Lord!! (((Dont forget that within the last month...the car has had major cash hits to be fixed because of my accident and than my brother backing into the next day after it was fixed!!---so the thought of another fixing was just sickening!!))) I do know that it has been investigated and she has been found and blah blah!! But my job is done!! Im just sad she never gave me the opportunity to tell her it was ok and to have a great day!!
180!! Week later, on a saturday rainy morning...i was driving to Pensacola on my way to get my sweet sister for a lunch date! It was done raining, but the roads were quite wet of course. I was less than a mile away from their house...driving straight (not on a curve i swear) about 30mph, if that, and all of a sudden the car major fish tails LEFT...than RIGHT...(lifting off the ground...im trying to hold the steering wheel steady since correcting the direction myself could cause worse problems...ugh)...than i ONE-EIGHTY all the way around and am flying speedily backwards...HOW DOES A VEHICLE DRIVE BACKWARDS WHEN YOU ARE NOT IN REVERSE?!?!?!? I am flying backwards and can see on my left side that im headed into a persons yard super close to their brick house! I scream "LORD" and slam the brake!! The car immediately stops and completely shuts down!! I am completely facing the opposite direction i was driving!! After my heart settles, I look around and realize i cannot even open my door because i am two inches from their fence and my back bumper is two inches from a huge tree and right beside it is their car!! I turn the car back on...and slowly TURN AROUND... and continue on...truly one of the most frightening things that has ever happened to me! Im so thankful to the Lord for my safety and even more thankful that the car came out of this crazy event without a scratch! wow.
On a more happy non-car note, the Lord has provided another pitching lesson for me and two more contacts that should start within the next few weeks!! Unbelievable!! Im so pumped that we are back at the fields for lessons in the hot sun and orange clay-dirt...i love outside!! And even more excited, that the man who is allowing me to use the facility has offered me to use it whenever the weather is not cooperating...the Lord is truly good!! as always!!
And crazy! I turned 28 today! So thankful for my life and the family and friends that I get to love and be loved by!! Im beyond spoiled by Jesus!!
