Praise Report! I was driving over to church at 7pm last night when a huge torrential downpour started, within minutes all the roads started flooding and a flash flood warning was issued. As I was driving I came upon a road with water across it, I totally underestimated the depth of the water and tried to drive through it but I got half way through and realized I was not going to make it and it was too late to go back. The engine died and water started pouring into the car. I realized I needed to get out of the car NOW. I pried the door open and jumped out into chest-high water, I took a few steps and the water was over my head and I had to swim a good 30 yards to escape the water. My car is totaled and the water killed my cell phone but at least I am OK. God was faithful through all of this, I was swimming out of a car completely submerged in water and then 30 yards or so to save my life (with shoes and clothes on) and there was no fear at all. Not one iota. I was completely calm, I just knew what I had to do. I hadn't swam in years but I was doing it like a pro. Also there were some people who stopped and helped me that I thank God for!
