It could have been A LOT worse!!!!!

Okay ladies. Listen at how God works. Just a little background. My children go to two different schools. I have to pick up each one by 6pm everyday. I usually pick up my daughter first then go and pick up my son. For some reason on Friday, my car kept going straight and I picked up my son first. As I'm signing him out, 2 men walk in and ask "Who's driving the Maxima?" and let them know I am and I'm about to move it now (I thought I may have been blocking someone in or something). Well, they responded with "You can't move it, IT'S LEAKING GAS!" OMG!!!!!!!!!!

1) If I had picked up my daughter first, no one would have told me becuase my car would've been parked against a curb and you wouldn't have been able to see it.

2) I'm a smoker, what if I had plucked a cigarette out of the window and it blew my car up.

3) What if both of my kids had been in the car with me and a spark ignited the gas (the gas line runs directly under the rear seat).

4) I couldn't smell the gas because I have polyps in my nose (sinus condition) and I can't breath through my nose 90% of the time so I didn't smell the gas.

omg askalot, i am so glad you and your babies are ok. Those men were most definitely a blessing.

Re: It could have been A LOT worse!!!!!

You are most welcome. He has saved my life soooooooooooo many times ladies - I know it is He that wakes me up every morning, but I'm referring to other specific times. Like:

1) When I was 4, I developed menengitis and was so close to dying.
2) After I was discharged from the hospital after having my son, I developed an infection. Docs told me that had I waited another day to come there, I would've been dead.

I could go on and on, but you guys get my point.

Yes it is truly awesome. God must have important work for you to do. Who says he doesnot still perform miracles. The fact that you did something different in your normal activity saved your families life. Praise HIM!

Re: It could have been A LOT worse!!!!!

I am so glad to hear that you and your family are alright. GOD IS SO GOOD. First he didnt allow Purebliss to go on her trip because he knew the earthquake was going to hit Hawaii, then he reroutes you because your car was leaking. He Deserves All the PRAISE!

Re: It could have been A LOT worse!!!!!

SeptBride I am a firm believer that GOD makes all things happen for a reason,and as u already know,that is why you went straight. Thank HIM each and every day!! I am happy that you listened to your 1st mind and kept going instead of turning around to stick to your normal routine. I am also happy you and your family are ok
