My testimony this week.
I am not someone who shares my personal problems but after I really looked at my situation I realize I must share this. It’s too powerful not to because it was God that took me out and nothing else!
I know I don’t look spiritual or at least that’s how I think some people perceive me but who cares right? But I am very strict with my morals and my standards but some people might think I don’t drown myself daily in God’s words but who cares? Why am I bringing this up? It’s not about that. One thing I must tell you Jehovah answer prayers and he does protect his children. Pray to God today, tell him your worries, cry out to him like David did.
Last week I heard a noise in my car and at first it was a very low noise, so I didn’t care too much for it. I thought I could wait for my next paycheck to fix it, so I drove on the highway with the car not knowing I was driving by the grace of God. But first I must tell you this, last month I was getting off from work and my front passenger tire was flat and it had been flat for a while I have just been putting air in it. I don’t think I gave myself an estimated time to change the tire, so I just hoped nothing bad would happen. But while I was getting off work like I was saying I stopped at a gas station to put air in my tire and the tire wouldn’t take the air! There was a guy there who was in his late 50’s I would say and he was really helping me put air in that tire but after a while he looked at me and said “ I don’t think you should be driving this car, it would be best to go to a tire shop up the road” and I said “ no I think there’s another gas station with a better air tire pump next to my house” he asked me what town I lived and I told him and he said I don’t think you will make it. That was my first warning! Guess what I did? Yup I ignored it because I thought I knew better. Then my tire exploded on the highway! I was so scared! It was right on my exit ramp 2 minutes from the gas station I was telling you about. My insurance would take too long to get to me to fix the tire, sadly I cancelled my AAA so I was left with nothing! Then the police came and called a tow right when they were about to tow my car. Someone pulled over and came with all the equipment needed to change a tire and put a spare tire for me for free! The tow would’ve cost me roughly $300. That was God! Someone tells me that wasn’t God, and I’ll fight you lol!
After, that very same day I went straight to a tire shop and a get new tire. So all was good for a while. Until last week when I started hearing that sound in one of my front tires, so I thought it must be the breaks, but I didn’t think it was bad enough. So I went on driving until yesterday on my way to the gym, I stopped the car on the road because the noise was getting even louder and I thought “oh no this is bad” so I went back home did some research on my phone and figured out I had a bad wheel bearing on my front driver side. I called around a few places to get pricing but it was around 6pm so most places are closed but I found one guy who gave me a reasonable price so I saved it. I talked to one of my friend’s boyfriend who’s a mechanic and he told me he could order the parts for me, but I just have to wait for some reason that guy who gave me my first warning at the gas station keep popping up in my mind and I knew I couldn’t wait.
This morning, I went to the mechanic and only to find out that I was right, I needed a wheel bearing, but my breaks were bad! The brake pad was flat if you’re a mechanic you know what that means! He said I don’t know how you made it here because you were one minute away from an accident. I could’ve died driving with bad breaks, but Jehovah protected me and put the idea in my head to go straight to the mechanic and not to wait. I am not negligent; I am just overwhelmed because I have so much to do! But life is more important. Please do not ignore the signs when God speaks to you.
