"You are on a journey and all the answers are whispered without words"
Quote by _ Constance
I was driving on a highway and snow was falling
but, it was nothing to worry about
however, an hour out the snow was quite heavy
and a wind was blowing wildly
the highway slippery
around a curve the traffic had stopped
so, of course I had to stop too ... so I did
I was adjusting the radio when I looked in my mirror
and saw a huge transport truck coming at a very high speed
I thought it was going to slow down and stop, but it did not
my car was hit in the rear and I was flying over the cars
I looked down and thought ... how is this possible
it is as though my car had wings
and at the same time I heard a whisper "not time"
my life did not flash in my mind as I had heard happens
as my car came crashing down on the highway medium
and I heard a loud crunching sound
then, I was spinning and spinning, spinning
when the car stopped
the police were there and helped me out
I looked at my car and there was nothing left
from behind the front seat the car was split in two
a policeman said to me, "it was not your time, Miss"
as I was walking away the car was hit by oncoming traffic
that's when the tears came and I was shaking
there is no way I should have survived that accident
and I am quite sure there was a spiritual intervention
God, was not ready to have me with him in heaven
my whole body ached, and I was bruised
but I was not dead
obviously I still had things to do on earth
God had expectations for me
that is the message I carry in my soul
so, until it is truly my last breath
I will treasure the gift of life each new day
and honor the gift of words that God bestowed to me
that message I heard loud and clear
for we never know when God will call our name
and take us home ...
the snow thick and wet
fierce wind roaring like a train . . .
cars lay in pieces
