Jesus Saves

Soooo.. Im sure my family members are tired of hearing me talk about my rough day. So now im going to discuss it with YOU. Maybe this will get it all off my chest enough to shut me up!

Today was a horrible day. So dont be expecting a Labor Day video on youtube. Seriously, I had a rough day. I left home not very happy, and i shouldnt have but i did. And my Mom called me and said, Come back home before it starts raining, the weather is supposed to be bad....

And of course, As usual............
I had one of those "I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO MY MOTHER" kind of moments.

Attention: People out there with amazing Mother's... If she say's something- LISTEN TO HER. She know's what she is talking about. And even if she doesnt at the moment- God usually makes sure it's one of those "I TOLD YOU SO" moments ;p

Just listen to your Momma. Especially if she is smart like mine.

Anyway's............. I didnt listen to Mom like i should have, and stayed longer than i should have. And what do ya know... The rain started pouring and i honestly wasnt sure i was gonna make it home.

It was fine as soon as i got on the road, But then the rain started pouring, and it got worse & worse as i got closer to home....

Like an idiot i decided to get on the freeway, and it was HORRIBLE.

Our windshield wipers do NOT work, they SERIOUSLY need to be replaced (cough cough!)

It was raining so bad, the sides of the road was filling up with water and i couldnt see in front of me.

I am not kidding, i could NOT see in front of me. I turned my lights on but that didnt help much.

Before i finish.. I want you to know.. This isnt just a LISTEN to your MOTHER kind of lesson. This is a CRY OUT TO JESUS kind of lesson as well.... Because My Mom, or my best friend, or my Brother or nobody else in this world could have saved me today.. It was the one & only J-E-S-U-S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before i left the store, BEFORE i drove in the bad weather, BEFORE it started raining, I was walking around Walgreens on the phone to my Best Friend... I was in the WORST mood..

I randomly started digging around in my back pocket cause i felt something poking me, And i was like.. What the.....! The first thing i pulled out was a pink bobby pin, And the second thing was a cross.... And the cross said "JESUS SAVES"

I remember rudly thinking to myself and saying to my best friend:
"I couldnt be lucky enough for something to happen to me today"
(you think that.... untill something almost happens, and then you take those words a little more seriously)


The whole way home i was terrified, No joke. But i remembered that cross in my back pocket, And i prayed the whole way home............ Jesus protect me, Jesus watch over me, Lord get me home safe, Father your the only one who can help me, Please get me home safe.

And obviously HE WAS LISTENING! I got home safe! But it was a rough ride home. I called my Brother to come & get me because i wasnt sure i could drive another second. I never drive in bad weather or when it is raining by the way..........

(thankfully the rain wasnt as bad as i got near my exit, and my brother stayed on the phone with me till i got home)

TWICE a car almost hit me.
Meaning TWO different cars.
No Joke.

And at one point a semi was extremely close behind me (wich REALLY scared me) =/
I couldnt see the road, The windshiled wipers were not working.
I couldnt see in front of me, or behind me.

And i was even driving inside of the lines of the road...... I was right in the middle, because the puddles were so big i was scared of hydroplaning, or whatever you call it. Which i experienced once.... And i hope to never experience again...........................

Anyway, Aside from all of this yapping... The point of this story is.... Jesus saves.. Jesus CAN save you... And he WILL save you.. All you have to do is ask, and believe, and beg :) and have enough FAITH to BEG......................................

I made it home safe. Thank GOD. And Mom didnt even know i was home..... 30 minutes later she called and said.. "Hey! Can you stop at Shipleys? Grandpa was some donuts!"............. This made me so happy!! I was like.. MOM!! I've been laying in bed for the longest time now!! It was just SO funny to me.. To think.. She didnt even know of the hell i had just been through, and she so casually called and asked me to stop and get donuts, Not knowing i had been home the whole time..........

=]

Oh and here's some additional information.

A few weeks ago while cleaning out Grandpa's apartment, I found that cross on my Dad's window seal.. The one that said "Jesus Saves" And i said.... Wait..... What do i do with this? (we were packing up everything) I said.. What do i do with this!? You cant just throw it away? It's a cross! So i put it in my back pocket............

Those shorts have been washed and dried since then................
And the cross was still there.................
And im so happy that cross was still there..........

For the simple fact that it was a simple reminder, that Jesus saves..........................
