What a blessing to worship God today! I haven't been to King's Crossing much, but every time I do, I leave uplifted and full of praise for God. Besides the singing being wonderful, the preacher is a great speaker- he always says what I need to hear to grow closer to God and says it with love - he's just a great preacher.
That being said... to the person behind me texting the entire time... with key tones ON... I kid you not. Two people said something to her, but maybe she was deaf. If your cell phone goes off, I'm not offended, we all forget to turn it off. But this was ridiculously distracting. Oh, I met my first single person-possible-friend at church!... but he was only here for work... so I am still friendless, but at least I had someone to talk to for a while (besides the old people which I love and are all named Carol).
Allison and I share a deep fear of driving in less than ideal conditions. Give me dry ground and I can do anything. But the second 1 drop of water hits the road, I freak out. I get super nervous and honestly HATE driving in it,hate other drivers speeding past, hate everything about it. In fact, it's not that my visibility is lessened t at all, its the hydroplaning, less-control-than-normal thing. I cannot describe how much I despise this.
It started with an accident in the rain that I witnessed (my mom, right behind me- losing control, spinning across the road, across the oncoming traffic road, just missing pylons and other cars, and thankfully fine, but Ally and I were crying, because we didn't know how she could have made it.
Then, I had a minor accident in the rain when I was the slowest driver on the highway- going 40ish (apparently the tires were bad, BUT STILL, I hydroplaned). Thought I was being safe, but I still lost control. Now, I pull over all the time, wait it out in stores, drive 30 with my emergencies on while the whole world passes me by... with no apologies
So, normally, I enjoy driving over a bridge to run my daily errands- crossing the bay and watching the ocean on my way to the store. But today, in the rain, it sucked. I avoided it as much as possible, but there are just some places you can't avoid it- so there I was fearing hydroplaning enough on land, but hydroplaning into the ocean as it tosses and turns in the storm. I almost took my seat belt off and put my window down, so I could get out of my car, just in case. It was a scary day. Thank you God for saving me!
Next up: tips for driving in the rain (because I want us all alive... and I'm afraid of you driving too fast and running into me... you have no idea how much driving in the rain effects me... so please stay tuned)

It's amazing how much we think alike on this. I proably would have also wanted to roll down my window and take off my seatbelt and be prepared to get out of the sinking, hydroplaned car.
