a tree

6 July 2007

A family of 5 was in a car driving on the road. They were driving up a huge mountain to a resort to spend their vacation. Below the mountain runs a river with a strong current leading to a waterfall up ahead. It was then, a racoon ran right in the way of the car causing the father to spin the wheel to the left, jammed at the brakes to avoid hitting it! While the car was being spin to the left, the back wheel hit a fallen rock from up the mountain which caused to back end of the car to be lifted up into mid air! With the front wheel still gripped on the ground, the car's end made a 180 degree swing. At that moment, the front wheel's grip on the ground loosen which caused the whole car to fly off the side of the road and down the mountain due to the pulling weight of the car's end.

The car landed on the side of the mountain but is still rolling down with great speed! The father stepped on the brakes many times but it appears the brakes was damaged from the events earlier! The car is heading down the mountain and straight to the river! Everyone in the car was screaming and crying but one. The father. He calmly placed his hands together in front of him and began to pray. The wheels then hit on some unevenness on the ground, swayed to the right a little and crashed into a huge old tree just two feet from the river!

The tree stopped the car. The family emerged from the car and between air bags with unharmed bodies. The father looked around but found no other trees nearby but that huge tree.

21 March 1830

Squirrels were gathering some nuts from higher up the mountain. One of them dropped a nut while running back to their hole! The nut rolled down the tree, down the side of the mountain and was stuck in between a few branches of another tree! Meanwhile, a family was having a picnic 2 feet from the river. It was a calm river at that time. Their family dog dug a hole in the ground and was about to bury something when he got scared off by a thunder from the sky! Suddenly a strong gust of wind hit the tree where the nut was stuck. The nut fell off the tree and roll right into the hole the dog dug. The dog went back to the hole and covered it up.

{This is not exactly a story but a testimony from someone long time ago which i dont really remember who. It wasnt exactly that dramatic but the person did fell off and a huge tree did save him and his family. 21 March 1830 was his thoughts and i kind of agreed. A tree that big cant be grown in 2 hrs. It takes hundreds of years to grow to that size. It even grew at that spot to catch the car at the last moment. It was as if someone knew what is going to happen 200 years from then and planted a tree there. Which reminded me of a verse.}

Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.

HEY nic tan, i think you were talking about me and my family, when i was 4 , i went to USA for holiday and the car i was in skidded off the moutain as the road was frozen with ice.. There was a icy river at the bottom of the slope. Amazing, thanks to god grace, the car was stopped by a huge tree and the best thing is there was no trees around that tree for at least 200m and the river was like in sight la... And i did not say anything about the 1830 squriell but i did thank god for planting the tree there 200 years before my accident....

Isn't it good to know that God's in control of many things even when things spin outta control; Our control.

Testies came about when we encounter God in a very personal way cause He's personal and speaks/shapes/deals with us uniquely so your lessons may not be mine but it helps us to remember that He cares no matter where we are in this world. It's like a personal nugget of gold He gave for us to remember.

A shared snare hosting advantage or virtual hosting service or educe publican refers to a cobweb hosting waiting where many websites reside on harmonious net server connected to the Internet. Each placement "sits" on its own split-up, or section/place on the server, to keep it separate from other sites. This is on average the most economical choice owing hosting, as numerous people apportionment the inclusive expenditure of server maintenance.
