"The
Voice Took Control"
After
an errand during my lunch hour, I headed back to work on
41 FWY South. I saw the usual exit ramp, McKinley. That's
the usual left turn I always make to get back to work (heading
east).
While
starting to come off from the freeway, my mind went "blank".
Yep, my mind felt numbed out. A sudden voice entered my
thoughts which totally took over my driving as well.
The
voice was in control and requested, "You have to make a
turn right, because we are going to church." (My church
was actually located west on McKinley)- not the usuall turn
I make.
I
merged to the right to exit off from the freeway and entirely
forgot that I was supposed to head east back to work. After
I was ready to make my right turn on McKinley, I scoldzed
myself, "What was I doing? I'm supposed to make a left turn
and now I have to make a U turn on the next light."
Right
after that split second thought, a big rig truck made a
rapid wide turn onto the left lane where I was supposed
to be.
After
that incident, I felt goosebumps and said outloud, "That
was a close call!" Who else would be there to protect me
except our God.
