Dear Brothers and Sisters. I have got to tell you about what

happened last nite! I was at a friends house watching a movie,

We were about an hour into it and the

computer stopped working. Amy said, "I will just get 

our other computer." Try as she could she could not get

the movie to work. As her husband and her struggled with

it, I said well it looks like God is telling me to go

now. 

They said, "Oh we'll get it." I said; "No, I believe 

I really need to go." (you know how hard it is to leave in 

the middle of a movie but I felt I really needed to go). On 

the way home, I was less than a mile from my house and 

I just felt like I really wanted some ice cream. I asked the 

Lord if I should go home or get ice cream.(I do talk to the

Lord like that all the time. AND most of the time, the Holy 

Spirit ansxers me. (Don't you talk to Him like that?) It was

about 10:40 pm. I felt like I should go get the ice cream. 

Drove out of my way about a mile to the Shell station on 

Cavalcade and the 1-45 Frwy. I walked in and picked out 

the ice cream,placed it on the counter. The man who I know 

as Joe looked up and said. Oh, it's you, I am so glad you are 

here,(he knows that I minister under a bridge every night.)

Please pray for me and please stay a little while, there 

are people coming in who are reallly giving me a spiritual

"battle"; 'I want to turn it into a(he makes a fist and slams 

it into his own hand) 'physical battle!" I wanted to counsel 

him, but several customers came in. Some were transvetites 

and others appeared to be homosexual. (The way they were 

dressed, the way they talked and their mannerisms and 

interaction with each other.) I just stood silently, 

and prayed. After about 20 minutes of non-stop activity and 

intercessory prayer, I suddenly said to him. I need to go now 

and I rushed out.  

As I was driving and lamenting to the Lordabout how there 

are so many people in darkness and so lost,

and asking Him what we should do about it. (I felt so 

insulated from their darkness while in my vehicle because 

I did not have to see or hear these people) I thought how can I

I help even at a time like this. (11:05 now). I was traveling 

north on the feeder road. I came to the stop sign. 

My intention was to turn right, but I felt the Lord urge me

to look left and up. 

As I looked up in the darkness to the top of the overpass. I 

saw a body hanging off the bridge. I thought I detected some 

lights flashing above it and then I saw someone bent over 

the side of the bridge holding on to this person. I turned my 

vehicle left and rolled down my window for a better look. I 

could see it was a woman being held by a guy and he was 

obviously losing his grip on her. I had just time to say;

"OH LORd Help! Then He put in my mind to drive under where

she was hanging. I did (in doing so I was going into the

opposite lane of traffic, although no car was coming at 

the time. As I gaged where to stop my truck, I got out to see

if I had gaged it correctly and she fell.

She fell right onto the top of my cab and then 

catapulted into the back of the truck landing on the altars 

and the lumber that were back there. I went immediately 

to the other side of the truck where her head was and began

talking to her. I said your going to be alright, What is your

name? She said La Shonda" ;Why were you up there 

hanging from the bridge?". She said. "My husband doesn't 

love me anymore and doesn't want me anymore and I 

don't have anything to live for. I stroked her head as she

laid upon the altars in the back of my truck and I said;.

"LaShonda."

You cannot put all your hope and trust and love into 

one human person. But the Lord Jesus loves you very much. 

He loves you so much he sent me to drive a truck under you 

just before you fell so you would be alright. I then began 

praying for her and asked her if she Knew Jesus, She said 

she did and then as I prayed, it seemed she went into a 

peaceful trance, I whispered louder to her and touched her 

face so she wouldn't lose consciousness but she had such a 

peaceful smile that I knew the Lord was ministering to her.  

The Police came about 5 minutes later and just before the 

paramedics got to her , I was able to whisper, "You have so

much to live for, and God has so much for you to do, 

LaShonda." Her smile was back and well lots of police, so 

I did not get to speak with her anymore but as I was thinking 

back about it I remembered telling her that she was saved 

tonite again by the cross. She landed on it after the top 

of the truck broke her fall. The answer to my lamentive 

question I had just asked God. I discern it to be: "Keep 

bringing them to the cross. Keep saving them. One at a time." 

My prayer is that every Christian will get God's answer.
