Reflections

Sometimes you don't realize how active God is in your life until you look back on your day. Today was one of those days. God probably saved my life today and I didn't even realize until hours later.....this was my morning.

I was leaving my house exactly on time this morning for school 7:10am. As I turn on my car, an emergency light comes on and my car starts beeping at me. A little alarmed I take a few extra minutes to pull out my owner's manual and see that the little light means that one of my tires has low pressure. I get out to give my car a quick glance and don't really see what the problem is. I decide that my car is good enough to drive on, but I take things easy and go the speed limit. Upon turning onto Trautwein this morning a fire truck barrels through with its sirens blaring and as I get to Alessandro I see a terrible car accident that had 3 lanes narrowed down into 1. The accident had literally happened moments before, probably exactly the 8 extra minutes that it took me to flip through my car manual and take it easy on my car. I thought nothing of it at the time, just said a quick prayer for the people who were in the accident who were being carted off in a hurry in ambulances. It hit me when I returned to my car after a day at school, I turn on my car and the light doesn't come on. No annoying peep, no flashing yellow light...nothing.

I honestly and truly believe that I would have been in that horrific accident this morning if not for that little light that popped on in my car. And for the light to turn off when I get in my car again, as if it wasn't needed in the first place allowed me to realize that God's not done with me yet. God really is good!
