Almost Died...

I woke up one morning not feeling the greatest. I have done something that did not bring me peace, that I was ashamed of. I don't want to share it. Its too embarrassing...even on a censor free site like Steemit.

You can say I felt outside of God's will. I was certain if I died that day, I would have been lost...

That morning I was preparing for work and headed out for UPS. Now, I wasn't one of those truck drivers wearing those brown short shorts. I wouldn't look good in them, not with my chicken legs.

I loaded and unloaded boxes inside those 18 wheelers. It was hard work!

I went on the freeway and after some time passed, I headed toward the exit ramp. Red light. I was the first in front, two lanes turning left. There was a 18 wheeler next to me. Must be part of UPS. Well, the light turned Green... but something odd happen...

I did not push down on my gas pedal. I was very hesitant. You have to understand something. Back then, I had a lead foot. I see a green light...it was pedal to the metal...but on that particular day....I couldn't move....something was holding me back...

I looked at the truck driver to my right. Why wasn't he going either? I looked in my rear view mirror. The guy behind was probably getting impatient that I was stalling.

Moments passed. I have no idea how long but all of a sudden...

ZOOOOOOM!!!!!!

A pickup truck came out of nowhere, full speed downhill running the red light!

I was dumbstruck. I looked at my rear view mirror. Im pretty sure the guy behind me had his jaw on his lap.

I would have been T-Boned and most likely died that day. Back then I had a license plate with the border reading "Jesus is the Word for Today."

Maybe I was spared. I thought later...If I did not hesitate but drove off...I might of made it. I usually accelerated quickly. Maybe God was also showing mercy to the driver behind me...

The way I look at it....That morning I was not in God's will. I was a sinner...but he did not want me to die in my sins... So He spared me...He gave me a chance....

Are you reading this?

If you are...you have that very same chance today...because you are breathing... you are alive....and you are loved by someone up there....believe me!
