Thank you Heavenly Father!!!
Ok I'll be the first to admit, I have a bit of a led foot. But I really do try to keep the speeding to a minimum. Tonight I lost concentration and it caught up to me. So I was driving to Amber and Nicole's house for birthday cake to celebrate Amber's B-day. I'm kinda in a hurry cause I was talking after the fireside and left about 5 minutes after everyone else. Well to kill to birds with one stone I called Hailey back in an attempt to end our game of phone tag. Normally this is not a problem. Well tonight at some point I went into auto pilot. My body was doing the driving...feeding off my emotions of I'm in a hurry. It knew where I was going, I was aware of my immediate surroundings...the cars on either side of me, the narrowness of the road, et cetera. All of a sudden I look down as I'm excellerating and I'm already going 55mph. I let off the gas and about that time came the flashing lights in my rear view mirror and the siren. I was toast. There was nothing I could do...I had no excuse....what made it worse is I really had no idea whether the speed limit was 35 or 45mph and I was in a construction zone (found out it was the of course the 35mph right there). Then to make matters worse I went to get out my license out of my purse and it wasn't there...I realized it was probably in pants still from dancing at Stoney's last night...by this point I realized I was screwed and all I could do was pray. Not only did I not have my license but I still haven't taken the time to update my address since I moved a year ago and had to give that information. When asked about my last ticket...luckily 4-5 years ago...I had to tell her it was for speeding too. Long story short. I prayed the whole time she was gone and when she came back my prayers were answered. She told me there were a number of things she could site me for....no lisence, no updated address on my lisence, speeding, & speeding in a construction zone. She then handed me my registration and insurance card and told me to pay attention, slow down, and get to get my things in order. I said thank you to her and then over and over to my Heavenly Father...why she didn't haul me off to jail or give me a big fatty fine, only He knows. Whatever the reason though...I am extremely grateful.
