I have been going through a lot of changes lately, and they have been changes for the good.  I am organizing my life and my home.  I am not where I want to be yet, but I am finally going in the right direction.

Today was a scary day for me.  I was driving from one of my schools the another one.  I was driving down a two lane road.  I came upon a curve, and the curve is a blind curve to oncoming traffic until you get about half way through the curve.  As I got into the curve, I saw a dump truck coming towards me at a high rate of speed.  I am not sure what the driver was doing, but it appeared as if his speed was too high for the curve we were going through.  He lost control of his truck and he swerved into my lane.  We were approaching a head-on collision.  I started screaming because it appeared that we were going to hit, and at the last minute, he regained control of the truck and pulled back into his lane.  He did not stop, or slow down afterwards.  If anything, he sped up.

I was in a fog for the next few moments, and then reality set it.  I told myself out loud:  “You almost died just now.”  For the next few minutes, I pondered about the fact that I almost died, and then I pulled up at my school.  I had to regroup because I had kids waiting for me.  I didn’t think about it again until after school.  My mind was clear then and I started thinking about all of the things that I didn’t have organized and my level of spirituality.  Have I adequately prepared to meet my Father in Heaven?  Have I used my life to glorify Him?  Have I repented for all of the things that I need to?  Have I served my fellow man the way I should?  Have I walked by faith?  A lot of questions started coming into my head, and I then realized that I am not prepared to go yet.  I have too many unfinished things to do here.

I have wasted most of my earthly life caught up in temporal things.  I haven’t glorified the Lord the way that I want to.  I realized today, that we do not know the time in which we will leave this earth, so we need to live each day as if it were our last day on earth.  If I had left today, it would have left my husband with some unnecessary burdens.  There is much to be done, so I have to spend the rest of my life being about the Lord’s business.  I am so grateful for the lesson that I learned today.  I don’t think that I could have learned it in any other way.  I learned that life is delicate, and that it is important to prepare every needful thing.

I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for protecting me today.  I know His hand was involved in that whole situation.  I am so grateful for His love.
