Isaiah 45:5 - I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me...
I have shared a story about a Christmas Eve in 1984...where I was spoken to by an unknown "inner" voice wanting me to swerve my car into a lane of which an 18 wheeler came zooming by just seconds later. I would have been killed if I had switched lanes...I started crying and praying and then saw an image of Jesus Christ in the sky. I have explained the meaning of this site in that same previous story. So, now comes late August of 2010...twenty-six years later.
I was on my home from dropping off my son, Chris, at work in Tomball, Texas - we live in Pasadena, Texas, which is fifty miles away. Both towns are around the Greater Houston area. I am trying to remember exactly how close I was to home, when that same unknown "inner" voice spoke to me, asking "What is your decision? What have you decided to do?" I outwardly answered,"To walk in the path of the Light of the Lord and to follow the ways of the Lord." Some time after that, I became drowsy...several times. I literally awoke from quick sleep several times and could not understand what was going on.
The last occurrence was at a red light and as I became alert I looked in the rear view mirror. What I saw really surprised and stunned me...a man was holding his arms out and saying words towards me. He was in a white truck and had a passenger with him. As soon as he realized I was looking at him, he lowered his arms and put his hands on the steering wheel. He looked over at the passenger and they began to discuss something while looking at me. The light turned green and the car in front of me started to go forward and I followed suit. I decided to drive into a parking lot to evade the men in the truck, so I did. I then got back on the street and from behind them, I prayed with arms extended.
I have no idea what all this had to do with the voice, but it was very intense to experience. I got home within the past hour and performed my daily devotions. And now I am sharing with you.
I felt it was a story worth sharing and ask that you be understanding and patient with me. I don't mean to offend anyone by this story. I am not shaken up - I am fine.
