I will always remember Aug 13 1999. My mom and I were leaving Walmart on 16th Ave. As we were getting into the vehicle, I felt/heard a voice/ a nudging not to put my seat belt on. I always wore my seat belt, but this feeling was too strong. So, I delayed putting on my seat belt. As we were turning from 16th Ave to head for home a car ran the red light. This car was going too fast for that road and it did not have on its headlights. This was around 8:30 at night. The driver admitted to going 120 miles per hour.

We were in a very large old church van. The car hit the front of the van on my side. I sit in the front passenger seat. It then swung around and hit my side. This impact broke the motor support. The motor came through the dashboard and was sitting in my floorboard. Because I didn’t have my seat belt on, I was flung to the middle of the van. Only my right leg was caught between the motor and the door. It took the EMS 2 hours to get me out of the van. They had to use the jaws of life. My right eye was swollen shut. I had numerous cuts and scrapes. My right femur bone was broken. Thank God I listened to the nudging of the Holy Spirit. If I would have had my seat belt on, I would have stayed in my seat. Because of where the motor was, it would have either crushed both of my legs or killed me. Today, I am alive, and I can walk because of obedience to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Always heed the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Stay in prayer where you know the voice of the Good Shepherd. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 10:27-28.
