Cliff Hanger Ending--how I almost crashed and burned

I was not a "bad" kid in high school. I didn't do drugs. I wasn't promiscuous. I wasn't in a gang. However, like most teenagers I did ditch school on occasion and wanted to hang out with the fun crowd. My parents God rest their souls never knew what I was up to when they thought I was safe in school. It was my junior year in high school and we normally ditch just to get out and drive around. This time I was in a car with my friend Thy Nguyen who was dating an older guy with a car. Let me tell you it was cool to date older guys with cars. Anyways, there were a few cars that went up the mountain that day. My friend and her boyfriend had an argument in the car. I was in the back seat. He got upset and decided to have a race with one of the other car. Mind you we are more than 1000 ft up in the mountain side with only one lane. The two cars started racing down the mountain and he lost control of the wheel during a turn around the mountain. He avoided hitting the mountain side by swerving outward sharply as he pressed on the brakes. We were staring down the cliff. It's easy to see that we were about to go over the edge of this curving one lane road. But at that very spot the side of the road widen. He was able to brake. We found ourselves parked on that extra landing space used for emegency and rest stops. I lived that day so that I can be in your life today telling you that Jesus has a plan for your life and that He loves you very much.

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. ~Psalm 32
