by the grace of GOD
i got in one of my "moods" tonight after work.. and just wanted to go driving. when i get in those moods i end up in kingsport or johnson city.. never fails.
well.. i had decided to go to their walmart to look at the halloween stuff.. and right before i got into gate city i got this feeling like i really wanted to go home... it was a nagging feeling that wouldn't go away... so i made a big ole U turn and started home. i hadn't been going back home for more than 5 minutes when this 18 wheeler truck started flashing his lights at me. struck me as kinda odd because i'd never seen a big truck do that. so thinking it was just a cop radaring i slowed down to 55 and kept on going. about 15 seconds later i see headlights coming right for me. a drunk driver on my side of the road just flying. swerving. you name it. needless to say i was scared to death. praying harder than ive ever prayed in my life. all i could do was thank GOD for that trucker. without him warning me what was ahead, i may not be here tonight. GOD works miracles. its not in the cards for me to be gone right now i dont believe. if it had been, then i wouldn't be here right now.
and another little miracle.. as most of you know, in duffield you dont get cell phone reception if alltel is your provider. right then. i got signal. in the middle of a dead spot. it lasted long enough for me to dial 911 and let the police know. i know that was GOD working to save others.
I am a changed person. It was a life altering experience for me. I was thinking of getting my tattoo on my wrist covered up. The one that means "Jesus Christ Gods Son Savior".. i was talking about it earlier with a co-worker.. and he told me i shouldn't.... because of what that would represent. I stated "i wasn't feeling religious anymore".... yet another sign from GOD telling me to represent him in this walk of life... and as of right here, right now. I am.
I will never be the same person. It opened my eyes to how quickly this life that i hold so dearly could be gone. and if i go, i want to know that I will be in the arms of my Lord.
All i can do is keeping thanking him.
Just wanted to share this with all of you, maybe it too will open eyes.
its sad that it takes literally seeing your whole life flash before your eyes.. in this case.. in the headlights of a drunken man.. to make you realize that you need GOD to make it through.... really quite sad...
