Hope on Interstate 45

Highway

I witnessed the scariest, craziest, most bizarre & saddest thing ever this past Sunday! We were on I45 South heading to see our daughter and granddaughter when I spotted a person on the highway. I assumed their car had broken down, so I was pumping my brakes to slow down and to alert traffic behind me. I then saw her, a young woman walk in to the lane that I am in. Traffic came to a stop, for the most part. The car in front of me went in the lane to my left. I was in the 2nd lane from the left of  4 lanes heading south. Then she did the craziest, scariest thing, she laid down on the concrete in front of me, on the highway.
SHE LAID DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY! I can only assume that it was an attempt at suicide. Then almost supernaturally a police vehicle arrived-he pulled that SUV across the lane sideways, got out calmly and got a hold of her- (She got up and tried to walk away when she saw the cop), he arrested her and we slowly went around them and on our way. I was so stunned! So shocked, that it took me a few minutes for my brain to absorb what I had just witnessed.
We began to pray for her and thank GOD that HE saved her from death on 8-11-19! Thinking GOD must have big plans for her life!  The traffic on I45 is normally going 60-75 MPH . Yet we all had ample time to slow down and stop, traffic was steady, not thick but pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon. A police officer arrived in miraculous time to take care of her and the situation (we prayed for him too). Surely GOD has a plan and a purpose for saving her. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the LORD. "Plans to prosper you & not to harm you, plans to give you hope & a future."
This entire scene has given me so much hope! Hope that HE does care for us! Even when we don't care for ourselves! Hope that HE will watch over my daughters who are young women that have been prayed over since day one! Hope that HE is ever present in our hour of need. I hope this story give you hope in whatever you are going through today, this week, this month, this year, this season! And if you think of it, say a prayer for the I45 young woman. GOD knows her name.
Love and blessings~Jean
