After an incident last night, I immediately sent a letter to some of my Facebook friends, those who have been on a roller coaster ride of faith with me.
This is not a forward or some hoax email. And since my page refreshed the first time I tried to send this to you, I know that it is important.
Since my grandmother's death, I've been really upset. Most of you know I've had periods of questioning my faith, and asking God why He seemingly turned a deaf ear to me.
Normally I spend Saturday afternoon at my aunt's house and then I head to her church later in the evening. Well I've been under the weather with the flu for the past week and had no intention of going to church today. However, my mom still had to drop something off at my aunt's house.
After spening an hour there, we were heading home and my aunt was heading to the gym. My mom pulled out the driveway first, and my aunt followed. After checking both ways my mom pulled out into the intersection. Literally milliseconds later I saw a truck grill out of the corner of my eye. But there were no head lights. I knew in my mind that we were hit.
This SUV was doing 60 MPH in the rain with no headlights turned on. But I suddenly saw a flash of bright light. It left as fast as it came. My mom didn't know anything was going on until she heard screeching tires and saw a truck pull off to the side of the road. At the angle and speed that both parties were traveling, we "should've" been struck and killed. I'd prepared myself mentally to be flung across the highway.
But God is good. And I have to believe that sudden flash of light was not my life flashing before my eyes, but God sending his angels to the rescue.
My aunt was still at the stop sign staring in disbelief. She immediately began to praise God, because she was certain that we were about to be struck and killed. She then drove over to the woman's SUV to tell her that her lights were not on. The woman was completely unaware that she was traveling with no lights on and was grateful that no one was hurt.
I'm not saying this to convert anyone, or sound like a religious nut. I just want to share my experience with my friends, and let you know how good God has been to me.
Love you all through Christ (even if you don't believe in him),
JB
