We were coming back from PA Monday night and hit traffic inside the GA line. Pretty soon we were at a standstill. We shut the engine off and sat there for 30 minutes while they cleared an accident somewhere up in front of us. We talked and were patient. We were tired but no one got upset. Finally, we arrived home. Our normal 12 hour trip took 13.5 hours that day. We had hit traffic, construction, and then the accident. We unpacked and went to bed.
The next morning, I got up and left for work. My husband called me later that morning to tell me that the car wouldn't start and that he would have to miss work and get it towed to a garage. I couldn't believe it. That was the car we had just made our long trip in. That was the car that we had shut off in traffic the night before. How crazy was it that now it wouldn't start?
We believe that God protected us that night and got us home. We believe God knows all things and is in charge of all things. We don't believe in coincidences or chance. Our God is a God of details. He knew that a sensor was about to go bad in our engine -- don't ask me what that means. He permitted us to get home before allowing that to happen. We are counting our blessings and praising God for his protection!
Luke 12:7 "Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."
