Thank God!

I am not feeling too good today physically due to colds and headache, but emotionally, I feel great especially waking up this morning and seeing my missed calls. :) I know it doesn't mean jack but talking terms, at least, will be great. ok, that's by the side.
I really don't see myself as someone that God stresses himself about since I am not living the way He wants me to (I consider myself a churchgoer and not a Christian), but many atimes, He still makes himself real in my life somehow. And everytime He does it, it stuns me cos I just don't expect it. Yesterday, I had quite an experience. The weather was very bad most of the day with rain, lightning and thuderstorm battling it out. Regardless of the bad weather, me being my typical social self and free food hunter, :) I decided to go to a couple of graduation parties going on in town. I, with my friends, driving behind me, went to the first one and as usual, the first thing I did on getting there was eat. I had been starving myself all day in preparation for this food, so I didn't waste time at all. We ate. The food was great!!! Due to the short time we had left for the next one, we headed out to the next get-together immediately after eating. I kind of felt bad about that. Came, conquered the grubs and disappeared! But, hey...such is life. On our way to the next stop, the rain was pouring cats and dog. I could barely see and I had someone driving behind me, so it was kind of difficult to stay on track, but somehow we made it to our destination. Actually, the good part was as soon as we left the downtown of where we were coming from to get on the highway, the rain ceased to exist.
Anywayz, we got to the party. Saw the peoples as usual. We ate, hung out et al. It was definitely relaxing for me. At about 8.20pm or so, I decided to leave to go home. Less than a mile from my departure spot, I was driving and I don't remember what I saw, but all of a sudden, I pressed my brakes. And like a movie trick or something, my car veered all the way to the right...I turned the steering around trying to control the car's movement, but it didn't help. As I turned the steering, pressed hard on the brakes and fought to keep control, the car then went all the way to the left, heading towards an electric transformer installation by the side of the road. I turned the steering and stayed calm while trying to stop it from hitting the transformer. Few inches from the transformer, it swerved to the left again, making a 360 u turn and then made it again a couple of times, or so it seemed. It was like me being in Fast and Furious for real. I couldn't believe it. By the time, it was all over, I was in the middle of the road facing oncoming traffic. It came to a complete stop!!! "Whow! Thank God! Thank God!! Thank God!!!", I sputtered.
I got to say. That was a big time miracle for me because, if there had been traffic at the time it happenned. The cars would have hit me all over the place - left, right, center, everywhere. That's how bad it would have been. But by God's grace, no car was coming on either side of the road. I couldn't believe it. My heart beat must have inreased by at least a million beats within the few seconds this happenned. THANK GOD! After the car stopped, I immediately drove myself into the nearby gas station, paused for few seconds and continued my drive home. The cashier at the gas station was the only one there and he just stared in disbelief as he looked at me park for few seconds and then drive away.
That was the 2nd time of me experiencing precisely the same thing in the past 6 months. The first one was on a highway and miraculously, no car came around or hit the car I was driving as it swerved to the right and left during rush hour in the morning. That was definitely a miracle too.
God, right now, I see myself as just your creation and nothing more, but I really THANK YOU for being there for me in spite of my being a billion miles far from you and your ways. Somehow, you still always show that you care. I don't understand it at all, but you do. E SE O BABA! THANK GOD!!!

Sometimes God taps us on our shoulders to get our attention. If you believe you are not on track, then perhaps you should work towards a solid relationship with God? As you can see life is fleeting, and all these things that are keeping you from him are very temporary.

to annonymous1:
true that! All these things are truly very temporary, but I got to say though, it's better to do it when you want to. For me, I'm either in or out - no middle.
to annoymous2:
lol! abolonjeku. never seen that typed out before. that's a good one! I fit cook o, but too lazy to do constantly. Acutally, the rain was really mild before we left for our quest. Scavenger hunt! Good one! :)
to mphahlele:
na so o! Thank God o! : )
to annonymous3:
Yes, I feel you, but I will get with Him when I know I can put my all in. There is no need to be one leg in one leg out. One is either in or out for real. Thanks for looking out for sure! This brother is not going anywhere soon; he got at least 60 more years to go for shizee! : )
