Yesterday I experienced a few different things in which God had his hand on my life. It's crazy to me how he put me in a place to be tested, to believe and to trust he will protect me.
Yesterday I was running as I do most mornings, it was a typical morning. I went to a park in fayetteville to train to run my 5k in November. I had done one lap around the park and was on to my next one when I looked up because I heard odd sounds. When I turned the corner there was a truck headed straight for me. It was coming fast, immediately I thought about what I should do. Do I run, do I try to stop it? I looked in the drivers seat and the man was having a seizure. As the truck neared the sideway where I was standing, another car pulled up to the stop sign and the truck hit it. If that car had not been there the truck would have hit me 100%. The man in the trucks foot was stuck on the gas so the truck was continuing to spin its tires, at this point the trucks tires were spinning so quickly that there was an entire cloud of smoke around both cars to where you couldn't see a thing. The man in the other car got out of his car and got the keys out of the truck. The truck stopped and the ambulance came.
In all of this I was completely helpless, I didn't have my phone on me, I didn't have any medical training to help, all I could do was pray and thats what I did. I believe God put that other car at the stop sign in order to save my life. If God put me there not to do anything but to pray for the situation then thats exactly what I was suppose to be there for. Gods protection and plan is so perfect its amazing. That is one small example about how there was protection over my life and I know there will be so many times he will protect me while on the race. Fear is not of God and I completely trust him with my life.
After all this the verse I will stand on for the World Race is "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come" 1 timothy 4:8
Its crazy that I was running "physcial training" when in a situation all I could do was pray "godliness value" it puts things in perspective.
