Rollin Outta Control

I tend to think I lead a very boring life...and most of the time I'm right. But sometimes I almost feel like I could have my own reality show with some of things that happen, that I say and do. Sabbath morning was one of those moments, were I felt I could have a camera crew somewhere around me.

So Sabbath morning I get ready, head out to the car and wait for my slow sister AS USUAL. I'm calling her name...I'm honking the horn...I'm simply ready to to leave. Being who I am...I like to be efficient so I back the car up while I'm waiting. Most sabbaths my sister and I alternate driving...one drives in, the other drives back. So DEAR SISTER comes out and says "let me drive". Who am I to argue? I put the car in neutral and put on the break and then got into the passenger side.

My driveway is on a hill...and at the bottom of the hill it deads ends into trees and bushes so you either go left or right, preferable left.

What happens next gave me flashs backs of January of this year.

So there I am sitting in the passenger seat my sis gets in and takes off the E break...and we start rolling down the hill. I'm not talking about a crawl, I'm talking about full speed ahead, picking up speed by the second, we bout to cross over the road and wrap about a tree speed. Somehow we are having a full blown convo will we are rollin down this hill and I'm envisioning wrapping around a tree AGAIN. She asking is the car on WHILE she proceeds to turn it off (now we are in a run away car thats not even on smdh) I'm clutching the seat and door while I'm telling her not to put her foot on the clutch just the break, which she is, but car is not slowing at all and at this point I just know we bout to be crawling out of shrubbery for the second time this year.

Finally as we near the end of our driveway and where it meets the other road...my sister grips the wheel (on a car thats off) and whips the car to the left. We ended up in a dead stop in the middle of the road. We weren't in the bushes or half way off the road...we were totally in the middle of the road. We sit for a second then bust out laughing....

It was by the grace of God that we didn't end up wrapped around a tree or just in the bushes period. And He was with my sister and gave her the extra strength to turn that car. I never would have guessed I'd have that experience when I got up that morning. But I'm so thankful for how He looks out for us and protects us. I still don't know what my purpose in life is, but I'm absolutely convinced he keeps me safe and from harm for a reason.

My Life As KP Moment
