HOW I ALMOST GOT HIT BY MY CAR

 On Saturday 9th May, 2026 at about 5pm,  I parked my Scion, and started talking to my wife just outside our yard, she was inside the yard gardening. My routine is taking my daughter to her 🏐  games and then dropping her back home or at times we go for outings. 

When I got outside the house, I parked the car, then switched on hazard lights as there was a log that someone had been dumped at my favorite parking smoment. On the left side there was a SUV Chevy, and on the right hand side, there was a white Tesla parked. I picked up the log, and started moving it to adjacent our mesh wired fence, next to the curb. My neighbor was preparing her yard, and dhe asked if I needed help. I told her I could handle it. The log looked like a two feet,  three three by two clamped in three columns , and three rows. Suddenly, I saw the car coming towards me. At first I thought my daughter was driving, only to realize I had left the car on drive and I had not switched it off. I jumped to the side, and the log i had placed adjacent to our fence stopped the car. I opened the driver's door and put it on park, switched it off. After, managing the situation, my neighbor who had witnessed everything, and my wife had a laughing moment.
Today I could be talking of a different story, it could have be a broken leg, or worst case scenario the fence or the car would be wrecked, or something worst.
Most of the times when some instances have happened, I have learnt that God usually prepares me in advance for a test coming in days ahead. It is a wake up call to pray for others who may be in similar situations, or something that is prune to happen. Intercede for others in such circumstances, or pray fervently for yourself, and your loved ones.
Accidents happen because of someone's neglect or at times it is beyond one's control.
It reminded me to always say a prayer for God's protection. Watch this space to read what happened the following after this incidence, and I will be posting of a dream I had, and reality of what happened a week later.
