Wake Up!
About five or six years ago, I had just gotten off work and was driving home alone, towards Adrian, Michigan. It was close to midnight and I was tired after working the afternoon shift. I was driving about sixty-five miles an hour along a highway with farming fields on both sides when I fell asleep at the wheel of my small pick-up truck. My truck was headed straight for the north shoulder of the road. Just as my vehicle hit the gravel on the shoulder, I heard a loud voice shouting, “WAKE UP!” WAKE UP!” I opened my eyes and realized I was looking at the steering wheel section just above my lap. My head was tilted forward; I knew I had been sound asleep. Awake now, I looked toward the passenger seat and saw a man sitting there. He was staring me right in the face, leaning toward me, and yelling at me to wake up. I could only see his outline because a bright glow seemed to come from within and around him. We were looking at each other, eye-to-eye, but the brightness was so great, I could only see the contours of his face and body. I’ll never forget his intent stare. I immediately looked forward and realized I was approaching the top edge of the ditch. I didn’t panic. I took my foot off the gas and steered back towards the roadway. Once I had the truck under control, I looked toward my passenger–but no one was there. I could still see a dim light glowing, but it soon faded away. It was no dream. I saw a man, and I felt his presence in my truck. This is an experience I will never forget. If I had driven off the roadway at the speed I was going, chances are my truck would have flipped and death or serious injury would have been the consequence. I truly believe a guardian angel saved my life that night.
