God is So Good

I have been debating about what to put in this post.

Do I tell you about the beauty of the huge, wet snow flakes falling hard and fast all day Thursday?
Or do I tell you about the visibility (or lack thereof) that caused on the highway coming home from work in the dark?

Do I tell you about spinning in the parking lot with my arms outstretched and my tongue out, feeling like a ballerina in a snow globe?
Or do I tell you about spinning out trying to get passed a semi?


Do I tell you about the promptings to stop and the spend the night at a friends?
Or do I tell you about cockily thinking I can do this?


Do I tell you about the glad expectation of making snow angels tomorrow?
Or do I tell you about the fear of seeing a traffic sign coming for you at highway speeds and knowing you're about to end up in the hospital?

Do I tell you about calling to Kass to look out the window at the snow falling?
Or do I tell you about calling Daddy to come pull the car out of the ditch?

Do I tell you about my prediction that Kenton would be the first sibling to total a car?
Or do I tell you about the reality that I was?

Thursday was beautiful.  I love snowfalls.  Especially the kind with BIG flakes!  But I shouldn't have tried to drive home in it.  Or I should have been less cocky, more humble and driven slower, not tried to get around the semi, just slowed down and followed it.
By the grace of God I'm fine.  The sign broke off on my passenger door and flew (or was carried) over my windshield, scratching it right in front of my face, breaking off the headlight on the side before landing back in the ditch.  The car then came to a jarring halt in a snow bank.

On a lighter note, spring is finally creeping up on us here in Alberta - and a friend has offered me a ride on his motorcycle when it comes!
Oh, and I quit my job!  YAY!!!  My last day is two weeks from today - April 11.  Hip Hip Hooray!

Alive by His grace,
