This happened back in 1992 before I knew God.. but clearly this was of God.
Two of my daughters and I were coming back from something on the freeway. I had a volkswagon that had huge black mirrors and bad brakes.
I did not have the money to get them fixed, so I would always make sure that I stayed a safe distance from anyone in front of me and would begin to pump my brakes at least 4-5 times before coming to stop signs or lights.
As I said we were driving along the freeway on a Saturday and just as we rounded a curved area that straightened out and there should have been no problems as it was smooth flowing traffic. All of a sudden I looked up ahead and all of the traffic on the freeway was stopped. We were going normal freeway speed, we were in the third lane, next to the fast lane that is and all lanes were at a dead stop. I had NO time to even pump my brakes once let alone 4-5 times as I was coming up on the back of the car that had been in front of me.
So I held the brake to the floor and it did nothing to slow the car down. I thought to myself, I either run into the back of this car and we are all dead as are those in the other car OR I go between the lanes of stopped cars!!!
Without hesitation I chose(being out of my mind) to go between the cars. We remember going in and coming out the other end which was a LOOOOONG line of traffic. We do not remember what happened in between... HOW in the world could a volkswagon with big mirrors go through this mile of cars at freeway speed that were not uniformly lined up so some were closer to others and some not.. but how was I able to drive so fast in between these lanes of cars without hitting another car, mirror or anything?? It HAD to be a miracle of God.
When we came to the end there was a man standing and was looking down the lane at us coming out with a look on his face as in WHAT ARE YOU DOING??, then after we passed the last cars there was a piece of a motor cycle fender in my path which I could not avoid. But I did not try to stop at that point we just kept going. I was so embarrassed.
I don't even know why I would have been using my gas pedal to keep the car going once I decided to go through the lanes because I could not stop. The whole thing was a blur and there is no other explanation but GOD. My daughters do not remember anything past us going in and coming out either.
By God's grace and mercy are we here today!
