The trip that almost wasn’t was a sad day indeed
For my hubby who works so hard all year, needed to be
freed
Down the road we were to go
But something said, “Oh no, it won’t be so.”
Our car’s radiator fan and air went out
My tired, tired husband just wanted to shout.
Later, hubby said, “Let’s go for a walk to the pond
A place of which I am very fond
We sat down looking over the water
Hubby took my hand and prayed
Children of the King
He looking down on His son, His daughter
We took our situation and placed it in His hands
For there is no better place to lay down our plans
The wife had such dread about this trip, she could not
explain
The bad dreams she had the week before happened again
and again.
When the car broke down just the night before the trip
Wife bowed her head and gave a most grateful “thank
you”
For her Savior still guiding their ship
We could have been stuck out on the highway in a
broken down car
But the Lord knew our situation and saved the day.
You see, He really is close, He is not far.
As bad as we wanted to see our Oklahoma family, we gave it to the Lord
The enemy did not like this, he went up against the
mighty sword.
Even though the trip was delayed a week, he did not
win this one
We went to the Lord and humbled ourselves, and then we
took a stand
And watched the circumstances unfold by our Father’s
mighty hand
Vacation time was rescheduled, the car was fixed and
did not break the bank
The trip that seemed would not be, is on again
Glory be, thank the Lord God Almighty
Was the Lord saving us from some tragedy
Wouldn’t that be just like His majesty
Some would say it’s just the happenings of life, to
this I could agree
Because my life giver is in charge of mine, I let the
reigns go for Him to hold
I’m just on this little earth, I am nearsighted
But my Heavenly Father sits on the mountaintop and
forever He sees
As I go down the highway, I’ll be thanking Him for His
perfect timing, His loving ways, and His watchful eye
I’m off now to get ready once again
For now I say “Good-bye”

Even though this is BAD, I think there is a message here. . .did you see it through all the bad writing?
Don't worry. . .I'll never enter a poetry contest :)
~Blessings to you as you look to Him~

I'm glad the car was fixable without breaking the bank! Now ... ARE YOU GOING TO BE IN TULSA? (Sorry, just a little excited!) Please tell me we can meet ... even if it's just for a few minutes at Panera, Braums, or whatever is your favorite!
Wow. I couldn't do it better. The message is inspirational and sweet:)
Thank you for sharing your delightful story at "Tell Me a True Story." I do believe that your dream was a warning and God was gracious to allow your car to break down before you left. His ways are highter than our ways!
I loved it!!! But then again I love anything you write!!! Isn't our daddy God just so good?!?!!! I agree with Hazel, the dream being a warning and His grace to allow the breakdown before you were on the road :))

That has happened to me several times; I'd go on a long, long trip traveling 1,600 miles only to break down the next day after I returned home. This happened just recently, remember, when I was going out into the wilderness to camp and kayak and I broke down 2days before I was supposed to leave. I do believe God gave you those unsettling feelings...I get those, too! He takes such good care of us...even when we don't even realize it!
Well, you sure made me smile.
yOU know how to make me smile.
