The elation I felt, after a long night of prayer is something to write home about. Ryan and Brianne drove away from their college town on Thursday afternoon. God sent a guardian in the form of a State Trooper to escort them for about 150 miles. Brianne thought she was having to pull over because of a headlight that was out. But no. Trooper said she was out of gas and wondered if Brianne could help her. Trooper gave Brianne her card and Brianne and Ryan went to a nearby town/city? to get a can full of gas and they took it back to where the Trooper was waiting. Trooper gratefully took the gas. (She told my daughter to go ahead and fill up her own tank and my daughter couldn’t allow herself to do it). After all was said and done, Brianne and Ryan took off. Long story short, Trooper was always nearby for all those miles ahead, flashing her lights to move people (tractor trailers, etc.) out of the way of the left lane so that Brianne could drive ahead, although Brianne refused to speed. Am I amazed that this situation happened? Absolutely, but I KNEW God would watch over my kids. I faithfully prayed to Jesus to send protective angels out to the road to make it safe for them. God said YES!
They arrived home at around 11:00A.M. Friday. Dead tired, but from the picture I took, you really can see how happy they were to get home and take it all in. Kilo was so body twisting, wiggly excited to see them!
Now, I feel like it’s time to celebrate Christmas. The Courthouse and entire Square are all lit up and most people around here seem to be in that festive mood! There’s also a chance for snow this weekend! That’ll be GREAT for pictures! I really hope we can get our own little family portrait done!

And fixing that headlight will be part of somebody’s Christmas present! How wonderful that they were able toget home so easily and with the help of a trooper!
@slmret - Oh, yes, a fixed headlight for Christmas!
Awww, now that is just awesome! Strange that a trooper, of all people, would be out of gas! God does have a sense of humor, doesn’t He!?!

@SealedbyGrace - Strange, indeed! So are other details, which is why we are convinced it was a God thing, an angel, perhaps?
@Elizabethmarie_1 - Happy Wednesday, dear girl! I hope YOU get snow soon! This weather sure is weird…not normal! ALthough normally, we would have had some snow by now. Even if it’s just an inch o just flurries, we feel the need for moisture! ( 8 We are enjoying having our Ryan and Brianne around!
