HE is Faithful!

Psalms 91:4 He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will  find refuge; his faithfulness is  a shield and buckler.


2 Thessalonians 3:3 But  the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against  the evil one.


God is faithful.  Not to sound cliche, but today I truly had one of those "I have no idea what is about to happen, but God please help" moments.  I'm almost 35 weeks pregnant, driving to work going 70 mph in the dark and literally someone's whole metal car bumper comes flying directly DOWN at me from the sky.  No idea where it came from.  No other cars around me seem to be wrecking or swerving.  Here I am, staring at this huge piece of metal bearing down on me, cars and 18-weelers all around me on the freeway, and I the only thought that comes to mind as I'm bracing for impact is "God please help me".  Suddenly, I swerve to the left at the last second and this car bumper hits the passenger side of my car.  

It is dark outside as I pull over to the side of the road, and when I quickly get out to inspect all I can see is that the passenger side mirror was just completely sliced right off the car, wires clean cut and all.  Later when the sun comes up I was able to see there were more scratches on that side of the vehicle, but thats neither here nor there.  

That piece of debris sliced my sideview mirror clean off.  That easily could have come straight through the windshield and been me.  Somehow immediately after I was calm enough to call my husband and tell him what happened.  Then, as I pull back onto the freeway, my baby girl starts kicking, and then the tears slowly start to come.  All I can think is "praise God".  God is faithful.  God is mighty and he is my protector.  He is Father of all.  PRAISE HIM!

The rest of the day was mostly uneventful.  Saw some patients, did insurance claim stuff, spent a few hours in the Labor and Delivery ER per MD orders to have baby monitored.  Her HR was high for a while, I'm sure she sensed the adrenaline pumping from the events, but she is OK!

I do not thank God enough for his presence in my daily life.  I take for granted the fact that I make it to and from work safely every day, and I know there are a thousand times a day that I could thank God for his presence and I don't.  So today, I am saying thank you.  Thank you God.  Thank you for your faithfulness.
