“He Protected Me When No One Else Could”

Our LORD and our God, you are my mighty rock, my fortress, my protector.

[2 Samuel 22:2 CEV]

Aggie writes:

I was adopted when I was six and raised in a Christian home. I started to stray from the Lord little by little.

I had a lot happen to me through out my life. I will be 28 in just a couple of months. I have been married now for the third time, been through all of abuse you could think of, recovered as an alcoholic, was raped. One lie led to another. I passed bad checks (and was caught after running for about one year), stole (and was caught after awhile), the list was endless.

I then re-married in September 2008. Then my husband was not brought up as a Christian; but was a Christian when I had met him. We started to go to Church the last Sunday in November 2008.

During that time I was asking why am I going to church, I have done so much wrong in my life and don’t deserve to be here. I kept asking myself this, but by the third time we had visited the church I had left all of my sins at the alter. I asked God, “please Lord if you are still there for me and forgive me prove it to me.” I needed comforting and reassuring.

I waited and waited. On January 22, 2009 around, my family and I came around a bin. The road was clear up to that point-but then snow covered with no warning of ice underneath. The front was fine at first but the back went spinning around like lighting. I tried to bring it out of the first spin; but then I heard a voice take hold of the wheel and hold tight.

I closed my eyes after seeing my three children. The kids and I had our seatbelts on, but my husband did not. There is a creek on one side with less trees and then the other side. Praise the Lord He protected us all. We should have all been dead in that wreck.

God put us in the deepest and widest part of the creek with less trees. We were upside down in a cold icey creek. We lost the back window and both the driver windows. The windshield my husband hit with his head.

I had not realized there was a guy out on the road ready to help. I shoved my husband out of the car, then I got the kids and handed them to him. We had a 2ton floor jack in the back, a gallon of milk, a 24 pack of soda, some food, bunch of tools–which all of this missed us.

When I had opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was my wedding band and knew right then all was ok. That night I began to hear the Lord. I fought with Satan up to March 29, 2009. That was the test the Lord gave me.

The Lord never left me, but got me through the time of being tested by Satan. On March 29, 2009 at church that part of the verse just glued to me and it is the first time in my life that I remember a verse!! I am now laid my life back at the alter that Sunday at Church and said Lord–take me and use me for I am ready for what ever comes my way.
