Inner Voice of warning

 I was driving my client in her Nissan Sentra, approaching a busy intersection,

when I heard very clearly, an inner voice telling me, 

"This intersection is very dangerous, you can die crossing it."

Those were the exact words.

I thought. "That voice is correct. This intersection is very busy, I could die crossing it."

I started praying.

I seldom pray before crossing any intersections.

That day, I did.

I continue praying, and because of that voice,

When the green arrow came on,

instead of doing as I usually do and shoot across,

I prayed and took another look.

At that moment, a truck came hurtling by, running the red light, 

and going full speed.

Had I stepped on the accelerator pedal, it would have hit us broadsided.

I doubt if either of us could have survived being hit by a truck in that little Nissan Sentra.

A car her daughter had termed, death trap.

It left both of us very shaken, with that close brush with death.

But then as it is said, when it is not our time, our birth angels will step in to stop our demise.
