Ever Feel Like You've Been Spared..?

[solaris=amazing]

From severe injury or death...??

There have been several times that i swear it i felt as if i SHOULD have gotten severe injury..or death, but didn't.

One time(2years ago), it was a rainy night, in which there was black ice on the roads.. PS i skidded off the main road @ 35mph into a 35mph Street sign-that was no joke 2 feet away from a HUGE telephone pole. No injury, the cop told me that at that speed i could have gotten severally hurt if i clipped the telephone pole.

Just last july (right after my uncle died) an old lady hit my drivers side front wheel area @ 40mph. If i would have gotten hit in my door-i'd still be in the hospital. BTW, she blew a red light.

Besides this, there have been so many times where i FELT like i was just spared...for what though, what the hell is the grand scheme...lol.. Maybe we are all part of something that we cannot fathom. Nor do we know what the reason is..

This poses another question...Do ALL things happen for a reason, good or bad.....

Its all chance or luck if you will. You flip a coin to decide if you should chop off your toe or not. If you dont chop off your toe its not that your toe has been spared its just that during that one flip it happened to land on that side. The woman hitting your car you werent being spared you were just lucky, same for the road sign. Now who knows I could be wrong, had you not gotten into those wrecks you could have gone another mile down the road and gotten hit by a train. Everything doesnt happen for a reason but every experience that you get is a result of previous actions.
For example if you have ever happened to catch an old friend out of the corner of your eye when your walking across campus so you go say hey. If you hadnt had to stop and tie your shoe for example on your way to class then you might not have seen the friend. This friend and you could end up hanging out which would have never happened if you didnt stop to tie your shoe. But you also missed that one question on your history test that put your average to a C instead of a B and kept you from getting into law school because you missed something important from talking to your friend, all because you tied your shoe...i think that makes sense, you might have to read it a couple times for it to.

Yes. Had diverticulitus(however you spell it) when I was 3. In short, its an infection of the intestine. Gainge-green(sp?) set in and i had to have 3ft of my small intestine removed. Was in the hospital for like a month i believe my mom said and for a while was barely hanging on to life.

I'm very thankful that God kept me here. Especially for my parents sake.

I was on the side of a highway one time, after my cousin had to pull over... it was night time, he had his hazards on.. well I see this semi truck coming down the road... there were no other cars so I figured he would kinda back off away from the shoulder. Once I realized he was way too close, it was too late for me to react. I was like, "oh fuck".. my cousins truck door was about halfway open, and I was right in front of the door. I was like a deer in the headlights. I couldnt react. I stood there hoping for the best. I think the semi missed the door by less than 6 inches, and I think one of the mirrors missed my head by not much more than that. In those few seconds that the truck flew by me, I was never more scared of anything in my life. Once it passed, I felt very very lucky to be alive. If the mirror had hit me in the head, you can only imagine that I would have fallen right into the semi truck and probably would have gotten tore up. I knew to pay attention to the road, it just all happened so fast. I learned my lesson though. If you are on the side of the highway, do not assume people will give you room. I doubt the truck driver was paying attention. In the 30-40 feet or so that he was approaching, he got about a foot or more closer to the shoulder. Its easy to imagine jumping out of the way with lightning reflexes, but in the situation, its hard not to freeze up and shit your pants. I didnt shit my pants, but if I was holding a shit at the time, I may have. Thats the closest to death that I have come... that I know of.

oh, and there were a few times I let my ex drive my car. I luckily survived that.

A few years back I was riding my bike down a hill. I lost control off a 5 foot drop and flipped over the handlebars and landed in a puddle. I looked behind me and no more than a foot from my mid-spine there was a tree. To this day I'm pretty sure if I hadn't hit that puddle I would have gone back first into a tree doing about 30km/hr. I really couldn't see walking away from that.

I rolled my car twice into a 10 foot ditch going 70 mph (long story). I didn't break any glass on my car, and all I got was a bump on my head from when I unbuckled and landed on the roof of the car. I was unbelievably lucky not to get hurt at all.

There was one time where my anger got the best of me and I kinda threw something at my little brothers head and hit him and he made it out with a scar so this probably saved me from a fatal beating from my father.

oh man, almost 7 years ago when I was pregnet with my daughter, me and my husband were comming back from a trip, it was dark and raining. We were gone for about 2 weeks. We had no idea that there was road construction on the highway. we were about 1 mile from home, we went around a curve and we started spinning out of controle. I was not wearing my seat belt( dumb ass ) then the car flipped 2 times. The whole thing seemed to have taken an hour. The roof of the car was smashed in, and all the glass was shattered. Pretty bad wreck. I remember after it was all over looking up and seeing a man standing in front of the car, smiling. I thaught nothing of it. I was pretty messed up, then a man pulled me out of the car, I did not know him nor did I care. He put me on the grass beside the car, I closed my eyes and started crying then a truck pulled up and asked me and my husband if we were ok. I was more concerned about my baby than myself. They called the ambulince and we were taken to the hospitol. They said that All 3 of us were ok. A few days later I tried to locate the man who pulled me out of the car, The man did not exist. There was no other man. nobody else seen him but me. I believe God was watching out for me and my baby that night. There was no construction sighnt out that night either.. Gods honest truth

went around a corner and whiped totally out of control at 80 mph! horrible, i hit a car on the driver fender and my car rolled off it(instead of head-on or hitting the door).we ended up 60 ft apart. cop told me god must have been lookin out for me.he said with that accident i probably had a 5% chance of surviving. u bet i believe in god!!!!!!!definately learned from my mistakes!!!!!!!

there was this one time I was in class after school. There were about 3 or 4 other students in there, all around the teachers desk as she was helping them with a problem. I was about 10 feet away, and suddenly realized I had to fart. I tried my damndest to hold it in, but I could tell it was about to burst out... MY eyes got wide, I could tell it was about to happen, then at that moment, my friend (one of the other students) was just told that he did a problem all wrong... he slammed his fist down on the big metal desk and yelled, "DAMMIT!!"...
that was the exact moment I let one rip. Nobody heard it because of Paul. I think God was watching out for me right then, it was a monster fart. I got lucky, plain and simple. I was spared.

My brother went out to go get a burrito instead of going to bus stop to go to his class, then while he was in line. A car hits the bus stop and like brings the whole thing down.
