I'm a little belated on this, but I haven't been in the forums much lately. Anyway....

I just wanted to say a praise for God saving me from my own stupidity. I was taking my 8yo daughter out for a date (we did dinner then shopped for a "tween" devotional book for her). About 5 miles from our house on our way out, I made a left turn... directly into the path of an oncoming car.

We were in my Escort wagon behind an SUV, so I couldn't see real well, but I still don't know what the heck I was doing. I'm normally a very aware and careful driver.

The car missed us by maybe 20-30 feet. I kept driving, as did the other driver (who barely had time to even hit his brakes), but all I could think about for the rest of the drive was that I could've killed my daughter. She was sitting on the passenger's side in the back seat. If I'd made the turn just 1 or 2 seconds later, the other car would've broadsided us at around 50 mph right were my daughter was sitting.

I don't know how I'd have lived with myself if that had happened, and I thank God that He kept us safe.
