MIRACLES STILL HAPPENS

MAY 22ND 2018,  I left for Canada.

It was my second time I took the car to drive to Alberta and British Columbia.
I had promised Bent that I would take two days to drive and not make myself so tired.  Last year I drove there STRAIGHT all the way in 20 hours.

I left at 6:00 a.m. I was much better prepared with food and drinks etc in my trunk.
 I took more breaks and naps, but I still kept driving and driving and by about 12:30 a.m. the next NIGHT I could see the lights of Great Falls, Montana. I was really tired and realized that I needed to stop and take a nap either at a motel, hotel or in the car.

As I drove in to an exit – my brakes did not work. I thought I was dreaming, or just too tired, But NO, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK.

I sneak the car over to a 24-hour grocery store and stopped right in front of it. I went inside and thanked Heavenly Father that I had been smart enough to have an AAA card and that Bent had given me a little cheap cell phone for emergency.

Within 20 minutes the AAA guy came and hoisted my car on his truck and off we went where he dropped me off at THE DAYS INN HOTEL. By that time, it was about 1:30 a.m. the 23rd of May.

He told me that I was lucky in two ways. That I was safe and that I had called AAA within 6 miles from the repair shop, because my AAA car only allowed towing within 6 miles, so if it had been further out, it would have cost me a lot. He then gave me phone number to call in the morning to find out about what was wrong with my car.

I went to bed tired, but deeply grateful to my Heavenly Father to be ALIVE.
So many other things could have gone wrong.

The next morning I called the repair shop and they told me that my brake cylinder was gone. = cost $450 and they could not get it finished before the next day.

Well, I was just happy to be alive another day.

I went and picked up the car thankful that I could drive again.

My car at the repair shop in Great Falls, Montana.

It could have happened in the dark, in the mountains.  All different kind of scenarios came to my mind, but I was convinced that Heavenly Father had looked after me.

I AM CONVINVED THAT IT WAS NOTHING LESS THAN A MIRACLE THAT I WAS AND AM ALIVE.
