Brush with Death

So I was driving down 112 (that's a highway here in Miami) to go to work and my exit was approaching. I was in the center lane and needed to get in the right hand lane...pretty normal. But as I was checking to my right, I quickly glanced straight ahead to see the car in front of me slamming on their breaks. I thought for sure I was going to hit them and quickly steered right to avoid a collision, but it had been raining earlier in the morning and the roads were slippery. My car spun around and I was now facing the guard rail to my right (perpendicular to the lanes) and still going SO FAST. I turned the wheel to head back the other way and ended up doing more than a 360 degree turn ON THE HIGHWAY and finally came to a stop facing the on coming traffic!!!! Luckily the roads were not that crowed yet and everyone behind me had slowed down to let me have all the room I needed. That my friends, was the most most scary moment in my life. I managed to not hit anything or cause any other accidents. Shaken up and horrified I called my mom (it was 5:20 am back home) and shared my story with her. She told me that she was praying for me at the exact moment I was almost in the worst wreck I had ever been in my life...God was watching over me! That's how I know prayers really work!
