"God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1
On New Year's Eve I had an appointment to get my hair done, and for some strange reason Ally wanted to go with me, so we headed across town. After my appointment I stopped at the first red light and headed threw when the light turned green. After I was half way through the light another car hit my tail end and swung us around so that we were looking in the direction the other car had come from. Needless to say we were a bit shaken up, but fine. No one was hurt on either side.
This was one of those times that God placed people in my life that I am so thankful for. When I first looked up I saw red lights and felt very confused thinking I must have run a red light (but it turned green how could they be red) Of course I wasn't looking at my lights, but it took a while for the fog to clear. Soon a good friend stopped and stayed with me, and sat with Ally while I talked to the police. Shortly after that another gentleman who I do not know, and will likely never see again stopped and gave a witness statement, saying that my light had turned green. This turned out to be very important, because the other driver claimed that my light was red.
I'm not saying this to place blame on the young man who hit me. I have no idea if he was trying to beat the red, or simply made a mistake and didn't realise the light had turned.
I am just so thankful that God was standing beside me on this day. We were hit pretty hard had he hit us seconds sooner we would probably have been hurt. I needed people in my life this day and the Lord provided.
