Miraculously Pushed into Safety

I am a corporate Pilot and travel frequently all over the world. About 3 years ago I was in Hong Kong on a layover and had several days off before having to fly again. I wanted to get a haircut, but the salon at the hotel was too expensive so I asked at the concierge desk for a recommendation for a local barber. I entered the address in google maps on my phone and set out for the 20 minute walk.

The streets were very busy, all the signs and store fronts were in Chinese, and the cars drive on the left side of the road. While there was a lot of traffic, I would say the average speed between lights was about 30mph. While I was monitoring my phone for the location of the barber shop, I received a text. I was keeping pace with a crowd of people walking on the sidewalk.

All of a sudden I found myself alone in the middle of the street. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something big and blue approaching from the left. It was a double decker bus bearing down on me. At first I thought it wasn’t moving that fast, but soon realized it moving at normal speed. The driver was to high up to see me.  I saw my life flash in front of my eyes, and it was to late for me to react! All of a sudden I felt like I was pushed from behind and leaped forward to keep my balance. It was almost like I was pushed from the wind as I didn’t feel anything touch me. As the bus sped by I could see people on the other side of the street standing on the sidewalk waiting for the traffic. No one seemed to notice that I was almost run over by the bus. The first thing I did was thank Jesus! I am certain it wasn’t just my reflexes that propelled me out of the way. I put myself in harms way and GOD intervened!

    Please pray for a 17 year old girl from our Church who was knocked down by a car on Monday 27th September. Her name is Grace and she and her prneats and brother attend our Church she has been a baby-sitter for my three young children.Grace has been very badly injured in the accident, and her condition is critical. She has suffered very severe head injuries and is currently in an induced coma in hospital. The Doctors gave her prneats very little hope, but 4 days on Grace is still with us and fighting hard for her life. She has started to show some positive signs some hand movements, a cough, etc, but it is likely to be a long haul, so please pray for a miracle.Please pray for calm and God’s peace for her prneats and family. Her mother witnessed the accident so please pray that she remains strong.Please also pray for the doctors, nurses and other medical staff involved in Grace’s care and treatment.Many people are already praying for Grace her family and friends, our Church, other Churches locally and elsewhere, prayers are being posted on social networking sites such as Facebook, even strangers are praying when they hear about her.Please spread the word about Grace’s plight and ask as many people as possible to pray for Grace and her family.
