I was turning into our driveway after picking Piper up from school when a young man on a motorcycle rear-ended us. This could have ended very badly.
I always look in the rear view mirror as I’m turning into our driveway just because people tend to go a little too fast on our road, and don’t typically notice us turning in. When I looked in the mirror I saw it coming too quickly.
I turned into the driveway just as he collided with the back of our car. I saw him on the ground through my rear view mirror. He wasn’t moving. It felt like a nightmare. I told Piper to stay in the car while I checked on him.
He started moving as I walked toward him, and he miraculously stood up. I expected him to be running on adrenaline and so I asked him if he was okay and if he wanted to sit down. He said he was okay. He said he was sorry. I told him he was blessed!
We both took a moment to process what had happened and I told him that I had been praying on and off all day today, because I had been, and that Jesus was with him. He said thank you.
I am so relieved this kid is okay. His mom came back later on to thank us for taking care of him after the accident, and let us know that he just has a hurt leg, but nothing major.
What a blessing! She said this was a wake up call for him. He will be joining the military in a few months and since he’s okay he still can proceed with that plan. Praise the Lord! God did an incredible thing! He protected us all from a terrible accident, and I know He has good plans for that boy.
I am in awe of God’s steadfast love and faithfulness. He takes what the enemy meant for evil, and He turns it for good. Every time.
