Almost died in a car accident
So yesterday I was on the way to work, sitting in the passenger side. Suddenly, i look right and see this huge white truck not slowing down for the red light as we're turning. Immediately I try to wrap my arms around the person driving (didnt have enough time to warn him) before being rammed super hard by the truck, which sent us flying (the car literally lifted off the ground) The truck legit had hit us right where I was sitting - the passenger door. When I saw the truck not slowing down, I thought for an instance it was all over. It was the first time in my life I felt true fear. As soon as that truck struck the car, I let out what I believed was going to be my final plea to my Lord Jesus Christ.
Well, I turned out completely okay- as far as I know, not one shard of glass touched me. I walked away completely unharmed. Me wrapping myself around the driver actually saved my life, because after the impact of the crash i was essentially on his lap. I dunno if it's because it was the first car accident I was a part of or what, but seeing that truck speeding towards me and where I was sitting is something that will forever be cemented in my memory. I not only feel lucky to be alive, but I feel different in a way. It's not so much that I feel more grateful for life, but moreso that I feel much more diligent in what I do and where I go now. I feel almost as if life is something that can't be used carelessly, or else death could come to you at a time you least expect. That entire day yesterday, I legitimately questioned whether I was still alive or not until I fell asleep. One of my cats just passed away on Monday (had to be put down sadly and I was the only one with the balls to be with her during her final moments). Just as I thought I was getting over it and feeling like a stronger person through the experience, this happens. Admittedly, I can't help but feel a bit fearful for the future after all of this. I mean, if these two events hadn't happened so close together I wouldn't feel this way if I'm gonna be honest. But at the same time, I can't shake off the feeling that God might be trying to tell me something through all of this. I just hope that I find out what it is sooner than later.
