Keep on rolling!!

Ok so last night was just another wee drive around the roads with David Murdock, just cruising around having a wee chat, called round at Dessies patrol station and got some fruit pastilles and marshmallows (for my hot chocco), all very normal. Well lets fast forward 20 minutes later and it gets much more exciting.

I was in the car with David, and Callum was in another car with Andrew Gibson. Andy was driving in front and leading us to some place, don't ask me where, think we were somewhere outside Killinchy. The ground was soaking from the heavy rain and David had no idea of the corners and bends on the road.....that isn't good!! Meanwhile me and David were just randomly talking about people we know who have crashed their cars into hedges and flipped their cars over sideways...heres the ironic bit - literally two minutes after talking about this we had the crazyiest rollercoaster ride of our life (in a car). We were going round a tight corner which David didn't know about and we knew we wern't going to make it round, we landed sideways of a 3 foot cliff side and rolled twice I think and ended up in a marsh. The passenders side (my side lol) looks pretty rough and all the windscreen glass is shattered. None of us were hurt surprisingly but it could have been much worse, we landed in a marsh but if it was a few hours later it would be covered in water, the tide was still out so we were very fortunate.

Pretty scary and sureal experience, really makes you think about things and how easy it is for something to go wrong. Hopfully this will be a wake-up call for David to take it easy now, it's been a major wake-up call for me....I'm not getting in a car with David again!! lol! Also to make things worse I left my marshmallows in the car!!

Think it's mabye a sign to me from God to obey him more, I havn't been spending much time with him lately and quiet times seems to be non-existant at the mo. I've gotten so distracted with everyday life that I've pushed God to the side. I pray he will keep focused and on the road with him.
