Rejoice With Me!

Rejoice With Me!

God has done a great thing for my family, and I would like to share it with you. It is so wonderful that I want to make sure that the whole earth rings with my praises. The best way to do that is over the Internet!

Yesterday, my 24 year old son John got off work earlier than usual for he had plans to meet with the College and Career group at Church. We said our good-byes and sent our prayers as John headed out into rush hour traffic to the Church.

About twenty minutes passed by when my husband Carl's cell phone rang - and it was John. He said that he had a blow out on the highway and needed some help. Carl immediately jumped in his car and headed his way.

A few minutes passed when John called me. He proceeded to tell me what exactly happened. As he related the incident, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

He said that he began to grow very sleepy as he was enroute. He turned the radio up to try and stay awake. The last he remembered was that the voices on the radio seemed to be fading into the distance. That is the last he remembered. He obviously fell asleep in the passing lane of a super highway going well over 60 miles an hour.

What happened after that was nothing short of a miracle!!!

John said that he woke up as his front tire(on his side) blew out. He remembers feeling the front tire hitting the wall that divides the highway down the middle. He also remembers feeling the tire going up the wall - almost causing the car to flip over. That is when the tire blew out. He actually awoke when he heard the sound of metal. He thought that he had scraped the entire side of his car along the wall. But the sound he heard was the metal of the rim of the wheel turning on the road.

His car stayed straight and came to a perfect stop next to the wall.

When he got out of the car, he couldn't believe what he saw.

The car did not have one scratch on it. The only damage was to the left front tire. It was in shreds.

It was at this time that John prayed and asked the Lord to help him get across four lanes of the highway to the nearest exit so that he and Carl could change the tire.

Cars were speeding by so fast that it was causing both John and his car to shake. He prayed and asked the Lord to split the highway like He did the Red Sea and make a way for him to get across to the exit. He said that within seconds the highway was free from all traffic. Glory to Jesus! This is rush hour traffic, Saints! This is unheard of here in Dallas! No traffic!

John said that he easily made it across before a truck came zooming by him.

Carl and John changed the tire and returned home. As soon as they came home, Carl called us to kneel down in our living room and thank the Lord for a Mighty Miracle - the miracle of sparing our son's life from death and countless other people on the highway from a tragic situation.

Last night before retiring for the day, I knelt by my bed and cried and cried and cried at the Goodness of the Lord toward us as a family. I felt so much at a loss for words. The words - "Thank You, Jesus" - just didn't seem like enough.

Needless to say - John did not make it to the Church. But, we as a family had our own time of rejoicing in the Lord Who once again proved Himself to be the Mighty God of Mercy and Grace.

"Our times are in His hands."

He is such an Awesome God!

Wouldn't you agree?

Have a GREAT & GLORIOUS WEEKEND in Jesus,

Connie
