This Simply Sunday is a bit different, other than the fact that it is late in the day being posted again, there is no picture, only a story...
A few years ago, when I first started driving a school bus I came in at the end of my shift and a supervisor asked me how my day went. I told him it was terrible and the following conversation ensued:
Him, "Really?!? I didn't hear you on the radio. Did you get in an accident?"
Me, "No."
Him, "Did you hit a child?"
Me, "No."
Him, "Did you run over an animal?"
Me, "No."
Him,"Did you damage any property?"
Me, "No,"
Him, "Then it sounds like a good day to me."
Today was also a good day.... and I can say with certainty that if God had not answered our prayers and those of other people on our behalf, I would not be able to say that.
Angelica was driving, we were just outside of Atlanta. It was raining. She was in the left lane of a three lane highway. She turned on her signal, checked the traffic to make sure it was safe, and began to move into the middle lane. At that same moment, a semi that was in the right hand lane began changing lanes without using a blinker. Angelica reacted. In fact, she over-corrected and the car began swerving back and forth across all three lanes of traffic. The car swerved back and forth about five times before beginning to spin. About two-thirds of the way around the second donut, the car began to rock side to side, resting on only two tires at a time before coming to rest on all four facing the oncoming traffic, just a few feet from the guardrail. Below the bridge was another highway.
Anyone who has ever driven in Atlanta knows that the traffic is non stop, even on the weekends. Today was no different. By some miracle, no one ran in to our car. The traffic all went around us, no matter where we happened to be at the moment. We didn't run in to anything and no one ran in to us. We are all OK. Sore, but OK.
Psalm 91:11-12
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
Angelica typed out her version of events over on her blog. She was understandably quite shaken and might need a bit of encouragement. I would appreciate if you all would pop by her blog and leave an encouraging message.
