I want to say a miracle happened to me yesterday, as i have absolutely no idea how to explain this. It may seem minor but it's completely dumbfounded me. So i get out of work and i'm driving home. My commute back and forth is crazy long takes like an hour and 1/2 so i usually listen to podcasts and what have you. This particular one was on Psalm 23, and I was praising God as it was his hitting me...I have everything that i need, i lack nothing, my cup overfloweth, God blesses me abundantly and that's what David was writing about.
So anyway probably like 5 minutes later, I'm driving like 45 mph, it's 12 in the morning- i'm in the middle of nowhere i look down at my phone ( i know, i know- stupid to do) and i look back up and there's like a herd of deer sprinting across the road. There's one deer directly, right in the center of my car...and i'm about i'd say a foot from hitting him, and there's another deer right behind him and they're running from left to right, and i'm going 45 mph.
At this point there's nothing i can do. I don't hit the brakes, i don't careen left or right cause my split second reaction is brace for impact. So i raise both arms to cover my head and duck my head down and brace for impact....and...i'm just waiting...a second or two passes with no loud thud or crash and i'm just coasting right along at probably 45 mph still as i hadn't hit the brakes...And i completely missed the deer. I was like what the? I stare in my review and i can still barely see them in hazy view of my brake lights that illuminated the road. I was by myself but if you were there you would have sad they same thing. Idk what happened.
And i've taken out a lot of animals on this drive where i thought i had a better chance of avoiding them. A couple years ago i put my car in the ditch trying to avoid a deer...AND STILL ENDED UP HITTING THE DEER lol. Last year i had the same exact knee jerk reaction when i was in the passenger side and the car smashed into a moose. But this in my mind was like, 'yup, this car is done for cause i'm going to smash into these deer' and boom nothing happened. I wish had one of those cameras on my dash to see what had happened and rewatch the whole incident. May seem minor, but can't explain it as i'm like 99.99999% sure i should have hit those deer at that speed and the location that i saw them- RIGHT IN FRONT/CENTER of my car no more than a foot or two away from them.
Can't explain it, i think it was a miracle from God- that's my only explanation. Anyhow MERRRRRRRRRY CHRISTMAS SHERDOGGERS
