Yesterday I taught my sweet primary class ( I truly love those kids .) our lesson was on a Testimony of the Book Of Mormon. We were talking about Moroni's promise , and our conversation switched over to talking about the holy ghost . I talked about an experience that i had eight years ago that has truly changed my life in so many ways .
It was the winter of the year 2000 I had just graduated that summer and though i knew it all . I was living in king of prussia with my aunt and uncle and cousin. ( i was living with them because i thought that i was all grown up and didn't need my parents anymore . BOY WAS I WRONG . Anyway i was driving home from work ( i was working at LORD AND TAYLOR ) and i decided to go visit a friend of mine at work and then go home . I got lost and was on a back road . well it was rainy , cold and dark . I didn't see a stop sign at the top of the hill and I ran it . ( aline and steve and crystal may know what road im talking about ) there was a car coming at me and i knew that i was goign to get hit . so i put my emergancy break on and covered my face . I got this feeling to take off my seat belt . ( i was driving an ford escort wagon and you could have your chest belt on and your lap belt off or visa versa . anyway I was like are you crazy you will die fi hyou take your belt off , but the thought was louder and clearer and i did it . I don't remember the rest all I remember next is I was being life lined to a hospital and the doctors in the helacopter told me that if i would of had my lap belt on i would of died instantly . WOW .
A bunch of stitches later , a brokenn back , a crushed tail bone , and broken pelvic bone im still here . Im in pain most days expecially cold and rainy ones . Pregnancy is my backs worst nightmare but Im alive and i have two beautiful children .
TO think that if i would not of listend to the still small voice I would not of met Jack , I would not of gotten sealed in the temple , I would not know what being a mother is because i would not of had Emilee and Matthew .
Thanks for letting me share .
