I was not going to post this....

wow... it really makes you wonder right!?!?! God is trully amazing and works in amazing ways... that is such an insirational story... sad that others had to die, but amazing that you were slowed down to save your life

Oh Yeah, I believe that the Spirit will protect us if we head the warning. You were very fortunate that you were protected. Just be thankful for the van and that you are here to tell the story.

Miracles happen every day and people want to justify the reasoning. I can't believe more people don't accept that these miracles do happen and it is God who is watching over us. Some will look at this in a negative way and say why was it that God allowed the other family to be killed. God has a purpose for you being here and the other family to be with him. Use this experience to continue living your life in a more positive way. Look for the real purpose God has for you. Could it be to pass your experience on inspiring others to believe? May God continue to bless you and spread the word.

We had a similar situation a few years ago. We were on the way home from vacation trip. It was getting on toward dusk and we had taken a different route than normal. All of a sudden there was an old pick up truck in front of us I mean really old a 1949 truck and this buck deer jumped right out in front of this guy and he hit it. A semi truck coming the other way had barely missed it and the freaky thing the pick up had NOT been there seconds earlier. We pulled over as there was NO One for miles either direction. It was not a well traveled route, there were cars but not a steady stream. This old man got out and steam was coming from his radiator. We had four kids with us and our son. We were driving a Jeep Cherokee. So we offered to tow this guys pick up to the nearest town of Pasco, Wa. which was 30 miles. He said ok. and he steered his truck while we towed him. We pulled into a service station and convience store and told the people there the problem. They told the guy he could leave it there for a few days while he made arrangements to get it. Then this guy wanted us to take him to the bus station. Which was 15 more miles. We agreed. He was a carpenter by trade, had come down from Alaska, had another car in Tacoma, WA. at a friends named John. We asked his name and he said Joe Christianson. JC He did not want to eat in a crowded resturant but wanted to get something to eat. But when we stopped he only got some coffee and salad. We asked for his address and he gave one for Yakima, Washington a post office box and said he was looking for work in the construction buisness in Tri-cities. After supper we took him to the bus station and we never saw him again. I had written his address in my date planner, address section. When I went to write him it was gone. We later asked the service station if this guy had ever gotten his pick up and they said what guy and pick up truck. They did not know anything about it. We think it was God or Jesus who stopped us from getting killed and went with us for awhile to see if we would help a stranger. Did we entertain an Angel? Did an Angel save our lives. Only God knows for sure.

Wow!! That is sad for the people were killed. Take this as a miracle, a sign, or whatever but you were spared for a reason. Doesn't it make you wonder what He has in store for you? This is a good story, thanks for sharing.

I had an experiance like this once. I was going on the train, but i smashed into someone who dropped all the stuff they were carrying. I am a very polite person so i helped her colelct them and this had me miss my train.... who crashed into another train just minutes after... After this day I was sure that some kind of angel is watching over me...

Well, no matter what it was, you were very lucky. Thank god that that van was in front of you. It was for a good reason. Glad you are still with us. I know times like these are good eye openers. Don't take life for granted!!

WOW!!! That's about all you can say about that. You were trully protected by the Lord. You just never know what is (or isn't) in store for you in your life. There is only one that does and thankfully He looking down on each and everyone one of us daily!

The Angels were there helping you that day they help us in mysterious ways and we never know what it it until they are probably long gone.

God bless you! Indeed, God has ways of keeping us out of danger. He has ways of showing His love for us. We may not know it, but He's always there. Just there for us.

I believe you were truly blessed on that day and you will be blessed again for your discussion on this.I have had experiences out on the roads such as this one also and mine involved a man offering me a ride when i was broke down one day i was walking and about 8 months pregnant and just could'nt go no further. What was amazing about this is a few weeks later my mother-in-law had a wreck and the same man was there to help her.

I am so glad you are ok. There was an angel with you. You have alot of work to do on this earth and you have not filled you'r tree yet. Goodluck
