I just got a call from my Mom. A startling one.
Late yesterday afternoon, she drove to visit her mom. Before leaving on the trip, she told her brother, her sister, and her mom that she was not planning on spending the night. She needed to be back at her house, even though it would be really late. She wasn't coming prepared to sleep over.
Yet. Sometime during the drove over the Holy Spirit changed her mind. And she decided, though without her toothbrush or additional clothes, that she would spend the night.
This morning we all found out why.
Snipers.
At some point before midnight, on an 11-mile stretch of highway, snipers started shooting randomly into cars at the drivers.
The same exact stretch of road...around the same exact time, had she left like she was planning to...that she would have been driving on.
So right now. I'm thanking my Heavenly Father for keeping my mom safe. For being persuasive enough to convince her to stay overnight. Without her toothbrush.
His mercies are new every morning....

Wow...thank you, Lord, for that still small voice.
What we do without the Holy Spirit?
Apparently, I was so excited about the Holy Spirit that I forgot how to type!! That post should say "What WOULD we do without..." instead of "What we do without the HS?"...Obviously, there are plenty of folks showing us exactly what they do without the Holy Spirit. ;0)
Wow. What an awesome testimony. It gave me goosebumps. Aaron says they have been pretty tied up all morning with the situation...iyiyiyi. Thanks for sharing!
Woah, that's scary! I'm so glad she's safe--and even more, that she's sensitive to God's voice. An example for us all!
Wow! Rejoicing that your mom is safe. Thank you Jesus!
Praise God!
Praise God. That is an amazing story of God's protection.
Wowswers! Our God is amazing. And thank goodness your mom heeded the voice of the Lord.
Praise the Lord for His mercies. Thanks for sharing this story.
