Lightbulb Almost got into a nasty accident last night

I'm a believer. And I believe that the hand of God can save you when you when you go through tough times. My story is no short of any miracle or any other spectacular situation any of us can witness happen in our lives. I was with my girlfriend last night on our way to her house in a really bad rain storm. Travelling through Lower Wacker Drive around 10:30PM when our car hit a floodplain of water in the final portion of the tunnel (right before the I- 290 entrance) and hydroplaned and almost did a 360. Not once, not twice but three times we swurved trying not to hit the wall or flip over. We were destined to run smack dead into it until somehower someway the car was lifted up and placed right on track as if nothing ever happened and we were on our way. All I have to say is Thank Jesus for saving us. This isn't the first time I've witnessed something like this occur in my life. Its just the first time in this car that anythings ever occured like this. My tires are new, my steering is fine, I wasn't going fast like somewhere around 20-30 MPH(speed limit for the turn whatever it is) and my car normally takes turns fine. Its just that somehow someway, we were supposed to hit that wall that second time and we even embraced ourselves for impact yet, my girl and I, and the ES are all intact walking away without a scratch! Praise God!

Sir GOD does have a plan for you thats why you didn't crash into the wall. i'm like you , see I'm a walking testominy of what God can do. the story is that my 1997 es 300 was hit 6 months ago by a small 18-wheeler i was knocked ,spined of the road and into a ditch. but guess what I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A SINGLE SCRATCH "Praise The LORD " because his glory and his works are to be praised. just to let you know my brother that you DO have BROTHER IN CHRIST just pm me with your address because i want to send you a message form GOD on cd. PRAISE IS HOLY NAME .................you WILL be blessed

I flipped a '99 Protege backwards off a cliff and landed upside down. (Yes it had a sunroof)
That's why I have an ES, but we all know that.

CC, we're all here for something, whatever God may have instore.

Also free will and choice. You don't have to believe what I do but I know what I saw and experienced. Dud we were headed for the wall. WTF picked the car up and set it straight? No luck...no science in this case (this is what I believe). I also believe you can 't take both with you when you die. Like I said it all boils down to freee will and choice. You can choose to believe what you do and thats fine and I can do the same. Does that make sense?

actually i dont have any insecurities and i definitely dont need to prove anything to a bunch of people on a forum... lol... you dont know me at all so quit trying to play psychologist and keep your opinions of me to yourself or tell someone who cares because i really doubt anyone on here really cares what you have to say about my character or persona. they can judge for themselves.

Was it really necessary to turn this into a "PRAISE JESUS!" thread.
You've survived a crash, thank goodness. Now leave it at that.
