I was traveling the interstate highway, and about to enter into a construction zone.  As I was coming near an access ramp, I sensed a distinct prompting to be careful.  I switched to the left lane to allow the vehicles on the on ramp an easy access to the highway.  I noticed that a ten wheeled dump truck was on the ramp.  As it pulled into the right lane, it continued over to the left lane, right in front of me.  I immediately slowed down as quick as I could to allow it to be far enough in front of me, that I would have the proper following distance.  It all happened in a matter of seconds.

While I was waiting for it to get to that point, a baseball size of a stone fell out of the back of the truck.  It began to bounce in the highway, appearing to bounce in ten to twelve foot leaps and then gradually in smaller bounces.  As it came towards me, I knew I had to do something because it was headed straight in my direction.  I could see it hitting my windshield.

I immediately slowed down and tried to pull into the right lane after waiting for the vehicle on my right to get ahead of me.   Fortunately there was enough time to get out of it's way. I know that if I had not been cautious and alert, the entire situation could have had a devastating outcome, as the traffic was somewhat heavy.  Had I not listened to the prompting of The Spirit, I could have been involved in a deadly out come.

I learned to always be cautious and listen. I rejoice that The Lord loves and warns us of those times we can not control situations ourselves.
Praise The Lord!
