Tuesday Testimony: Saved from a car accident

Another testimony is shared. Boy, this one was pretty big. It’s one of the shortest testimonies shown here but the lesson is to…eh, I don’t want to ruin it for you.

I am sharing this testimony in a very emotional state. God is good, and I cannot thank him enough for his love and mercy over my family and me, in spite of all my imperfections.

I study at my friend’s place every night since we are both preparing for the same professional examination. On the night of December 30th, 2016, we decided to study late into the night because we will not be studying on the night of 31st being the crossover night and 1st of January which is the new year.

I left his apartment around 1.30 am in the early hours of the morning of the 31st of December 2016. I followed the usual route I take to my home from his place. Everything was calm, and nobody was speeding. I was driving quietly and listening to some amazing Christian music over the radio. I was at a speed of about 38 mph (the speed limit on the road is 40 mph), and I was in the right lane since I was going to make a right exit to my home.

However, about quarter of a mile from my exit, a quiet voice just told me to change lanes from the right lane to the middle lane because the right lane was slightly bumpy ahead. I looked into my mirrors. There was no car in sight, and I changed lanes. Just about two seconds after changing the lane, a car sped past me at probably about 100 mph and the car went to hit the car that was right in from me. Apparently, the driver of the speeding car was being pursued by the police.

The accident from their collision was terrible. Both cars spun off the road. I do not know if anyone survived the accident. Cops arrived at the accident scene a few seconds later, and everyone was directed away from the accident scene.

I want to thank God for sparing my life in a split second. I also want to pray for the people that were involved in the accident, and I pray that God will preserve their lives. Thank you for reading my testimony, and I pray that God’s protection will always be upon us in Jesus name.

Wow! So, like I was gonna say, the lesson here is to listen for God’s guidance. The Holy Spirit is here to help. Once we build a relationship with God where we hear Him naturally, we can avoid a lot of problems and reach higher places in life; places that God wants us to reach.

Daily Good Stuff 260: Demotivational Posters

Another und of demotivational posters just for you, babe. Let’s roll with this first one.

The world would be much better for people who don’t get sarcasm if they had a sarcasm sign just appear out of thin air whenever it was being used. This next one is really interesting.

Let us see if the big bad wolf can make a difference. Eh…probably still blow it down. Okay…now this is…ugh…

I’ve wanted to rant about this for a long time. But, there’s no room on this blog. Unless someone asks for my opinion on wearing pants like this, I guess I gotta find another outlet.

Daily Good Stuff 259: Socially Awkward Penguin

Alright, so one of these memes is an unfortunate true story for me. Can you guess which one?

Truth and Honesty

What does it mean to be honest? What about being truthful?

We generally put these two things together to mean the same thing. However, they are not quite the same thing.

Honesty seems to be more personal. It depends on the person and where they are coming from.

Truth looks more absolute…like a fact. There is no debating the truth. There is no point of view that can alter the truth.

For example, let’s go into the courtroom. You swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth and all of this. You answer a question about how many gunshots you heard. You say three. You heard three shots.

But then, there is recorded evidence and, clearly, there are four shots heard. Four.

Now, did you lie? No. You HONESTLY heard three shots go off. In reality…or the TRUTH was that there were four shots. And there is your difference.

I can honestly believe 1+1=3. I can honestly believe this. This does not make it true. The truth is 1+1=11 2.

You can honestly believe the truth isn’t real. That truth is a lie.

The truth is the truth. We can honestly believe in our own truth. Our own reality. If we believe in some reality that isn’t so, we end up on medication. Seriously.

As we go through life, we take sides on things. Red vs blue in the war of colors. Pro life vs pro choice. This TV show over another. We say this way or thing is better. Is that the truth? Nah, but you honestly believe that this thing is better than the other. It’s an opinion that’s not meant to be deceitful in any way.

Truth and honesty go together easily. However, they are not quite the same thing.

You know, I always wondered about things like this. Do I want you to be truthful, or honest? I realize that we don’t know all of the truth of everything. It’s quite difficult to know the truth sometimes. If you are honest with me, I will accept that. Honesty in ignorance is something I can accept.
