Living Under the Son Light
• Jul. 29, 2007 - What Lies Ahead
Yesterday I took Hazel in for service. I had intended to leave early in the day so I could get home and get some things done around the house. I ended up leaving several hours later. By the time the children and I were on our way home, our daily afternoon pop-up showers had already started. Some of the ligtening was pretty scary. We had to drive on the interstate and traffic was brisk. We were getting close to home, and I was starting to feel relieved when all of a sudden I had to slow down. Traffic on our side was down to a snail's pace, and there were few cars coming the opposite direction.
When we got up over the next hill, I could see the reason - a BAD accident, on my side of the highway. A poor minivan with a badly crumpled front end and rear end. Thankfully, the driver's door was open and someone looked to be o.k. there. There were other cars involved and people walking around the highway. Apparently it had only happened about 5-10 minutes before we got there. I started praying for everyone involved to be alright, then prayed help would soon arrive.
We got around the wreck and went on our way. Then I saw police cars coming the opposite way - GOOD! So on I go, when all of a sudden I see flashing lights coming towards me, in my lane! The firetruck and rescue squad had decided it would be faster to go north on the southbound interstate. I had to quickly swerve over to the left hand shoulder to get out of there way.
This whole incident reminded me of the verses about how a man makes his plans, but God orders his steps. We just never know what might be just over the next hill in life. |
