About Three weeks ago I came back from work late the afternoon after doing work for a client in a city 85 miles from home. While driving along the highway I saw a car going across the road in front of all the other cars and driving off the road eventually. This caused all of the traffic in front of me to come to a sudden standstill. I saw how the cars in front of me dodged the static cars and after seeing the car just in front of me not being able to get to a complete standstill and had to dodge off-road, I knew I wasn't going to make it either. Miraculously I brought my car to a complete standstill, before hitting the car in front of me. But then another problem came to mind, can everyone behind me make it. I saw how the car behind me drew closer and just when he tried to swing out of the way he came to a standstill. My heart was pounding in my throat and I was in shock, not knowing how I made it in time. It was like God had His hands around my car, protecting it from any harm and the best of it all is that no-one made an accident, there was not a single injury. God protected everyone that evening.
Today I had to spend thousands to have my brakes repaired after hearing some strange noises while driving. When I got at the workshop the mechanic called me closer and showed me how my brakes looked. He told me that I had no rear brakes at all and that my left brakepad was completely worn, it was only steel against steel causing only a lot of damage. Now I did not drive that much since the thing that happened on the highway so it could not have been a case of wear and tare, this has been the state of my breaks for weeks now. The memories of that day suddenly came back to me and I realised I brought my car to a complete standstil in a matter of seconds, after travelling round about 180Mph, with almost NO BRAKES!
I had to share this with you all because miracles still happen and indeed there is a God!
