On 5/3/2020 I saw a vision of me sitting in my car at the local food bank. Suddenly my car rolled backward and hit the car directly behind me. End of vision.
This next testimony is a continuation of Jared’s story. You might remember him as the homeless man that I first wrote about in “2 Homeless Men, 2 Dogs, & 10 Puppies”. Jared had been living in a tent in the woods when a violent fight necessitated that he leave in a hurry. So I picked up Jared and his dog in my Honda Civic and off we went in search of new living accommodations for them.
Luckily we found a motel about four or five miles away which solved the immediate problem. But it also presented a new one – how would Jared get back and forth to work without transportation?
Then I remembered the bike that my Mom had given me. Now I absolutely loved that bike and had even transported it over 600 miles to Missouri fully intending to ride it. But it turned out that the Ozark hills and mountainous terrain were not conducive to leisurely bike rides. So that bike had just been sitting in my garage collecting dust for three years. When I told Jared he could use the bike to travel back and forth to work, he was ecstatic. It seemed like the perfect solution.
Unfortunately the first day that Jared rode the bike, it broke down right across the street from his work place. This was rather surprising since the bike was like new, hardly ever ridden. So after work we took the bike to a repair shop to see what was wrong with it. It turned out that it had just been assembled wrong at the factory. So they made a couple of tweaks here and there and pronounced the bike road ready.
That very day I started pleading the blood of Jesus over my Mom’s bike to protect it. It needed to be reliable so that Jared could make enough money in order to stay off the streets.
One day Jared and I were running errands with his bike in tow. In order to squeeze the bike into my cramped trunk, Jared had to put the back wheel in the trunk first and let the front wheel and handle bars hang out the back of my Civic. Then he tied the bike down with para cord. While we were traveling around, I told him about the vision I had of me having a car accident at the food bank.
So we had just left Walmart and pulled up to a stop light. I happened to glance in the rear view mirror – nothing, not a car in sight. A few seconds later, my car was violently hit from behind with such force that we were both stunned speechless.
When I finally got my wits about me, I asked Jared if he was okay and he said he was. Then we both turned to each other and said in unison “The bike!” Jared said that the bike was destroyed since there was no way it would survive a hit like that.
Suddenly I flashed back to a time in 2012 when my ex-husband accidentally rear-ended my little Honda Civic with his massive truck. His truck sustained no injuries, but my little car’s back bumper and right side were completely crumpled. Since this crash was significantly more violent, I was expecting to see my trunk caved in and the bike destroyed.
So with great trepidation I got out to inspect the damage, expecting the worst. So you can imagine my surprise when I realized that not only was my car still intact, but the bike appeared to be unscathed too. The only damage I could find was a tiny indentation on my back bumper from the bike handle bar. I just kept shaking my head in disbelief. How on earth did my car and bike escape unscathed from a hit like that?
Come to find out the person who hit me was a young kid without a driver’s license. He jumped out of his car, apologized profusely, and explained that he just forgot to stop. I actually felt sorry for him. Then his mom and dad and another woman showed up. I approached his mom to ask her some questions but she said she wasn’t going to talk to me, only the cops. Then a police officer arrived on the scene to sort everything out.
The next day Jared rode the bike to work without incident. That bike truly escaped unscathed in perfect working condition. All I can figure is that my persistent prayers of protection did the job.

The Parable of the Persistent Widow
LUKE 18:1 Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart: 2“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men. 3And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ 4For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men, 5yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’ ” 6And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge. 7Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help? 8I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”

The Lord began drawing Dana to Him about six months before she was saved. By January of 2015, the urgency to make a decision about God was so strong, that it was all she could think about, but she was clueless how to even get saved. One day in her bedroom, she cried out to God telling him she really wanted to be saved, but she didn’t know how. Then she had the thought, maybe she could Google it. And that’s what she did. She found instructions on the Internet and said the Salvation prayer out loud.
In 2017 the Lord led her 600 miles away from her family, friends and home to a place she had never been and did not want to go – Missouri. Then in April of 2019 the Lord gave her a vision of a woman sitting at a desk, writing on paper. That’s when she knew He wanted her to write, but what on earth could she possibly write about? Then in July of 2020 the Lord gave her a vision of an eyebrow pencil outlining a woman’s eye. She interpreted that to mean “I OUTLINE”. And that is exactly what He did. And that’s how the Lord got her to pick up her pen.
Wow your vision caused a massive flashback of a dream I had in 2020 about everyone’s car suddenly going backwards, down hills and crashing to the point that every car was irretrievable. I posted the dream here in the comments section of a stock market crash article. Thank you for reminding me.
Awesome!
Funniest thing, I hit a huge boulder when I was in a parking lot yesterday. It crushed the right front bumper of my SUV, The rock was placed strategically on the edge of the curb to keep people from riding over the grass., and it was in the blind spot of my oversized rear view mirrors So I laughed about the timing of this post. Probably no significance other than to reassure me it was just a fender bender. God said that to me because that’s all it was, and that I need to blow off the fender benders that come my way instead of getting all worked up, even though I smashed this fender pretty hard.
Personally I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe that everything that happens is a learning experience.
I think the lesson learned is to do what you had done-plead the blood of Jesus over our vehicles for safety and even protection from damage. .
