Snowy Back Roads!
The Monday before Thanksgiving, we received a little bit of snow. Maybe one inch or so. But the way the wind was whipping it around, you would have thought that we were having a blizzard. I had to go to pick up our dog at the boarders because we had been out of town with my in-laws celebrating Thanksgiving.
So upon leaving work, the roads were already getting icy. I work in town, so I thought no big deal. Then I got outside of town and it was a whole different world. I could hardly see where I was going because the wind was blowing around that little bit of snow.
The place where we take our dog to get boarded is out in the country. There are no major type of roads to get there, just the little two lane back roads. I mean these roads are a step above dirt or gravel roads. They are tiny. So anyway, I was traveling on the road where this place is located and I could not tell if I was going to drive into the ditch, a big snow drift or what. I literally could not see a few feet in front of my car. And then it happens. I could not believe my eyes.
A snow plow. Coming directly towards me. I am like "dear God" I don't need this right now. I could hardly see because of the blowing already that was happening naturally, let alone more blowing from this oncoming snow plow. And as you may know, the plows on these trucks are huge. They take up probably a lane and a half of traffic. I was already on the smallest of roads and now had to deal with this.
I started praying "God, protect me now. Keep from going off the road, or getting hit by this plow." I am not sure, but I think that I came almost to a complete stop, and I think that I may have closed my eyes, when I thought the moment of impact was imminent. So I sat there waiting for the crunch to happen, and nothing. I opened my eyes and guess what? The plow was behind me going on his merry little way. I began to thank Jesus immediately. For keeping me safe and for answering my prayer right away.
See God doesn't always take forever to answer prayer. He can answer in a matter of seconds. Amen to that!
Praise The Lord!
