I haven't logged into these forums in a while as I've been recovering from a car accident but I wanted to share the amazing story with y'all.
I had been struggling a bit with my conversion from atheism to Baptist and I admit I've had thoughts that were not pure. One of these instances happened while on the way home from work. I was sitting at a red light and was thinking of a conversation I had with a former atheist friend and the thought entered my mind that maybe he was right.
At that instant I heard a sound behind me, looked up and saw two headlights coming at me at a very high rate of speed. A drunk lady in an old Camry slammed into me doing about 50mph and totaled my 3 month old truck.
I realized right after that this was a message from God himself! At the exact moment of my blasphemous thought He sent me a warning that I was straying from His path in the form of a drunken angel. After taking a few moments to shake out the cobwebs and gather my bearings my anger turned to joy and I went to hug this angel from God but I couldn't open her door, I waved at her and blew her a kiss but she didn't seem to notice. At that point the police arrived and I never had a chance to speak to her, she was rushed away in an ambulance although I know God took good care of her.
The thought has entered my mind that perhaps God could have sent me a more subtle, less violent reminder of his disappointment in me but a 3000lb car hitting me at 50 mph sure did get my attention, I know now he means business and I'm not to toy with him.
He showed me His love by reminding me of my sins and He spared my life and I'm forever grateful. I'm praying everyday that He'll heal my back, it hasn't happened yet, but there must be a reason, something I've done wrong. It's a test from him and I intend to pass it with flying colors!
As for the drunken angel, she was unfortunately way under insured for the damage she did, five vehicles were involved and she did way more damage than she was insured for but this is obviously a test too. This was her 2nd DWI and I know in my heart her first one helped another struggling Christian come closer to Christ too, bless her heart. I know God sent her after me this time and I feel guilt that my truck damaged other, innocent peoples vehicles. I should have paid more attention to where I had stopped at the light, if I had done that perhaps I wouldn't have damaged the truck in front of me and he wouldn't have hit the car in front of him. My judgement in this situation was poor and I pray for forgiveness.
All in all though I am in great spirits though, it hurts to walk but it's uplifting to know God loves me and He showed it. God sometimes works in mysterious ways but not this time, His message was loud and painfully clear. He is my guiding light and I will never stray again!
