Just a Coincidence? Or were my eyes opened to see...
By Mindy Johnson in General
Today I had an awful feeling...what if someone ran a light and rammed their car into mine as I am driving across an intersection?  It scared me, so I looked around and as I was passing an intersection, I was extra careful.
That was on my way to lunch.

After I picked up Carrie from school, an hour and a half later, something peculiar happened.
I had a green light, I was turning left and saw a car driving fast and running a red light.  For a second I didn't think the car would stop.  The car slammed on its brakes and it ended in the intersection where it missed us.  It wasn't so close a miss that it would have scared Carrie.  She didn't see it happen, but nevertheless...the car missed us.  As I checked my rear view mirror I saw the car now backing up, back into its lane- out of the intersection.  I took a deep breath and continued to drive.  And the car would have hit my side.  Carrie sits behind me...we both could have been hurt.
And I thanked my Lord at knowing that His hand was there to protect us today.
Coincidence that I had that feeling earlier?  I don't think so.  

And this is not the first time something like this has happened.  
It happened to me after dropping Carrie off at school in the fall.  I was less than two miles from home and I thought, "What would happen if I got into an accident...who would pick up Carrie if I couldn't make it?..." 
And just moments later I was at a red light.  I was the only one there.  Stopped.
And a car hit me from behind.  How this driver didn't see me is completely beyond me, it was a major intersection, noone else around but the maroon minivan. 
How is it I had a feeling about being in an accident and it happened.
Coincidence?  I don't think so.
