one hundred and sixty eight

Don't forget to BUCKLE UP!!!!!
So I have this little ritual that not many people know about but I always do it. I say it to myself and try and do it everytime I get in the car and drive. My dad is the one that got me to doing this, everytime he gets in the car or does something that he's not to sure about or sort of scared about, he does the sign of the cross. I'm not sure if he says a prayer or not but he always does the sign of the cross. I got into the habit of everytime I get in my car to drive I silently say to myself "Lord keep me safe." I'm not a superstiticious person but I always say it as a comfort that God is with me and is protecting me.
For some reason, the two times that I crashed, I don't know if it was the fact that I was running late, I was tired, my head just wasn't there or if it was just meant to be that day for me to crash, but the two times that I crashed. I didn't ask God to protect me and I crashed.
I believe everything happens for a reason and if its meant to happen it will happen but today after we finished watching Eclipse when we were on our way home, I started up the car and I asked God to protect me, but I quickly changed my prayer and silentely asked God to protect us!
I don't know if it was the prayer or if it was just because it was supposed to happen that way.
But we all saw ourselves today getting into a crash from an on-coming car in the opposite direction.
I quickly honked and steered my car into the grass and we were safe.
It was super scary but I do feel that God was with me listening in on our Edward and Jasper conversation and quickly made me stop and have me steer that car into safety.
Whether it was the prayer or fate
God and fate thank you for steering me in the right direction.
