Shut Up and LISTEN

Because this is my personal journal I will document an amazing experience that happened to me last week. Due to the fact that I can only remember things for about 24 hours meant I better document it NOW. I know we all have days when we just need a little extra help from above. You know, God. So I was on my knees giving thanks and also asking for forgiveness of all the many errors I make in life. One specific thing I asked for that night was for the Holy Spirit to be with me. For many, many years I haven't asked for this specific thing, but I felt like I needed to. I don't remember many times of the Holy Ghost kicking me in the butt to say "LISTEN".

I was on my way to work the next morning for our annual inventory day. This meant waking up at 4:30am and heading out the door at 5:00am. I was driving down the main 2 lane highway on my way to the big "BURG". It was lightly snowing outside with a brisk wind blowing the car. I was going my normal speed of 68mph. I always drive 68mph - no less, no more. About 15 minutes into my drive I get this overwhelming feeling "SLOW DOWN". It was almost like someone grabbed my foot and lifted it off of the gas pedal. "SLOW DOWN"! I slowed down to about 65mph. I just kept saying to myself......that's weird. No more than 30 seconds later I came round a corner bend and a car was just passing a large semi on a double line. I couldn't see the car until it screeched to make it around the semi.

Now, if I were driving 68mph I would have been hit by the car and possibly KILLED. It is hard to explain the feeling you have when you know for a fact that it was the Holy Spirit with me that morning. It took me 35 years to really understand what the Holy Ghost was all about. Well, today I found out. So all I want to say is that you just need to SHUT UP, and LISTEN!
I hope you are all doing super duper. Talk soon!
