Does this stuff happen to you?

My car was hit three time in one day. I felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. My husband had gone to the first gulf war-Desert Storm. I had two teenagers and an eight year old at home and I was struggling to hold it together. I had to drive the youngest to the Military Fort. He had been burned with hot water and was being treated daily by a Military Doc. The pole was bright orange and still I backed into it. My big old boat of a car didn't show much damage but the idea of one more thing to deal with make me more stressed. I pressed on with my day, lunch at Sonic would be fun so we parked and ordered our food. As the car hop came toward us with our tray the look on her face told me something was wrong-and them I felt it. An older man had backed his car into mine. The bumper ones again spared us much damage. What a strange thing two in one day. Now I felt like someone was out to get me. My stress grew. I was home safely at home. I parked my car on the street in front of my house and didn't even see the neighbors car as it rolled down the street and right into my----wait for it----back bumper! But this time something changed! The someone who was after me, the enemy of my soul. You know the one who come to steal, kill and destroy! Well he went to far and his plan backfired. The Holy Spirit showed my something that made me laugh. I saw (just in my spirit) how poorly this plan of my enemy had gone. If he had set out to hurt me he failed. Three time my car was hit and not ones was I hurt. At first it caused me to fear, but what He meant for harm God used for my good. I imagined that in the morning Satan sent out a demon with orders to kill, steal and destroy. But now that foolish imp must returned to report that I was still alive and well and now feeling more at peace that before. God used the events of that day to remind me that He was in control. God set the limits of what can touch me. That thing may not go the way I wanted then to but I was safe in His hands.
