The devil Tried to Kill Me, BUT GOD!!!
The ride home from work today was a rather different one indeed. I took the route that I normally take and thought everything was all good. I get to a busy intersection so i decrease in speed. After all, there were two huge trucks that no one could see anything around. so cautiously after the cars had passed I proceed while blowing my horn just in case and out of nowhere BAM!!! She hit my car. Gwenn was her name. She was driving a small white civic so she too could not see past the mountains of trucks. So BAM!! She hit my car. Never being the driver in an accident before I was a little shook up. The impact was great enough to deploy my airbags and turn my car off. It broke my coolant pump and destroyed her right headlight. Some dents and dings on the cars but we both came out well.
Rewinding a little. On my lunch break I went to sit in my car and pray, just as I have been doing all week, and it has really been working on me.
I am glad that when I almost ignored the Holy Spirit when He told me to go pray. I could not resist. So I went to my car and prayed. good thing I did or God knows how I would have reacted after she hit me. while a little shaken up, I got out of the car because it was hard for me to breathe with the smoke from the airbags. I walk around to check on the driver and I get to the window, and its a terrified and shaken up Arcadia University student on her way to class. I ask "are you ok?" terrified she looks at me and says "oh my god i am so sorry, was that my fault?" I smiled and said yes but its ok, lets get you out of the car on to the side of the road so we can make sure you're ok. So shaken up, and still startled she could not even put her thoughts together. So I directed her to put her car in park, turn off the ignition, put on her hazards, and step out of the car.
It took her a while to get calm even after me telling her that it was going to be ok. We call the police and when they arrive im talking to my insurance company, who is going to take care of this thank God, and he starts asking us questions. As I finished with the insurance company I come over and again am friendly and consoling to the young lady because the cop was just so uptight. After I told them that this was my first accident ever, she said "wow, you are so calm for this to have been your first accident" I said "trust me, I have been in some pretty foul situations, and God spared our lives and we both got out with no injuries. Im grateful for that. God makes me this calm." she then said "you are so nice" and I said, "it is Jesus Christ who makes me this nice." and she said "well He's doing a good job."
After we exchanged policy info and the police officer was in his car filing the report. we talked a little more. I asked where she was going and if she was going to be late and she told me she was going to class at Arcadia, but lived in south Philly. I said nice, thats where my fiancee lives(I miss you very much BTW). shortly afterward, the Police officer gives us the report info and sends us on our way.
While driving home I had a vision of how that accident should have turned out. ...I was driving and the way she hit my car and the impact of the collision should have flipped my car, but I thank God for His grace towards me and His steady protection. But I am most grateful that not only was the young lady ok, but that I was able to be an example of Christ likeness to her.
God I thank you for an opportunity to bare your name. Now let when she goes to wherever she may go, she will be able to say that you not only saved her life and mine, but that you are merciful and kind and your spirit causes people to be merciful and kind. I thank you for your grace and mercy and I pray that you protect Gwen and that the seed of Christ you allowed me to sow through my actions and my testimony of Him, may be watered and grow into something amazing and ultimately her salvation.
I love you Father, and I thank you, you do all things well. I should have lost my life today, but you saw fit to let me live and proclaim you glory. I am grateful.
Amen!
