A Testimony

I would just like to share a little or big, depends on how you look at it, to me it was big. Probably you would have had to have been there to get the whole feeling of it but I will share anyways.
Last Sunday the boys and I went and met Travis over in California after Sunday morning service to stay the week with him.
After getting there Travis wanted to take us out to a restaurant he had been wanting to try but didn't want to try by himself. So we left the motel in our little hyundai accent and came to a stop light in a left turn lane. So we get the green left turn arrow to turn, people facing us have a red light, there is a truck sitting at that red light facing us and so Travis turns left and is looking left where he is turning, out of the corner of my eye I see a white camaro coming towards us to his red light and just as our front fender is about even with him I realize he is not going to stop at his red light, mind you this is all happening fast but felt slow to me and the thought goes through my mind "I'm dead" " Poor Travis, what is he going to do to raise Dallas with no mom" because the guy was headed straight for my door and Dakota was sitting right behind me. Everyone was in seat belts. At the same time I am thinking this I yell "Oh God, JESUS!" and I will never know how it happened, (well I do know, it was no doubt about it God intervening) but Travis, without really even looking just slammed on his breaks and the guy somehow swerved around in front of us and missed us. Travis said he thought the same thing that I did was that Coda and I would have been dead, possibly all of us as that little car couldn't have upheld much of a hit.
I can't say that I have ever been more scared than that, it literally made me sick and when we got where we were going my legs wouldn't hardly hold me and Travis had to just keep telling me it was okay, to just snap out of it. And the boys were just dead silent for the longest time.
I know you will think I am off but it was just the weirdest feeling, it was as if I could see that I was going to die and I just felt peace, whether it was because I knew I was ready or because I knew God was going to make it okay I don't know but it made me think later, you know it could have been that quick. See you are not guaranteed tomorrow, anything could happen. Obviously it wasn't my time but you know if it had been everything would have been okay because I would have been in a better place. :)
Okay so I'm done being all spiritual now. ;)
