I really do believe that if it not time for something to happen, then it won't. <br /><br />All I could think of in that moment of the accident was -- how am I supposed to fulfill my duty to God if I am paralyzed? Good to know that wasn't in God's plan. At least, not yet. *fingers crossed* :)poetsforpeanutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209171840636823473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834417182998989237.post-25679678532503872122010-10-16T13:09:12.973-07:002010-10-16T13:09:12.973-07:00This happened in April earlier this year; it is fr...This happened in April earlier this year; it is from my High Plains Drifter blog:<br /><br />"A Week in the Life of a Hitchhiker"<br /><br />"In the past week, I hitchhiked from Helena, Montana to Dayton, Washington. The ride from Helena took me to Missoula. This guy's name was Harry and he came from the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in northeast Montana. Harry was from the Assiniboine Tribe; we had a good talk. I told him that I was a Christian. He knew very little about Christianity. I told him about my faith in Jesus and that he should read the Gospel of John in the New Testament. I think he said that someone gave him a copy of the New Testament some years ago.<br /><br />"It had been snowing that morning when I left Helena and there was some slush on I-90. Harry was going 85 miles per hour when he hit a patch of slush. All of a sudden, we were going sideways down the interstate. Then we went sideways down into the median (I thought we were going to roll his van over) and continued going sideways into the next lane into oncoming traffic. This big tractor-trailer was bearing down on us and I thought we were going to get T-boned by the tractor-trailer when, all of a sudden, the van straightened itself out. Harry took control and we drove on the shoulder to the next exit. That happened near Clinton, Montana.<br /><br />"It was quite a rush for at least several seconds. It all happened so quickly. Harry and I looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief. Harry said that my God saved us. I said, Praise the Lord!<br /><br />"Harry was in a hurry to get to this hospital in Missoula; he had injured his back getting bucked off of a horse during his rodeo days. We went to this hospital where they gave him some shots in his back. I sat and talked with Harry as he lay in the bed. The nurses thought it was pretty funny that he had picked up a hitchhiker.<br /><br />"After the hospital, Harry took me to his relations' place in Missoula and I slept on the floor that night. The next morning, his nephew drove me to Lolo where I started walking west on U.S. 12."Tim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834417182998989237.post-81483428944956594452010-10-16T09:27:11.400-07:002010-10-16T09:27:11.400-07:00Praise the Lord!
