My Guardian Angel.....

So, here I am....here I am.  It could have been a lot different......

My running group "The Sole Sisters"  took a trip down to Wenatchee, Washington this past weekend.  Some of the girls ran 10k, some of them ran a 1/2 marathon (for the first time), and some of us walked 10k.  It was a funweekend with 13 of us staying in one house and going out to eat a lot and doing some great shopping.  Did I mention shopping??  I am not sure why the Walmarts are WAY better in the US but I guess it's one of those mysteries we'll never solve. 
*yikes...my hands are shaking as I type this......
So there we were shopping and extrememly tired from our marathons and walks.  We all separated at the mall to buy our last minute things since we knew we wouldn't be back.  I was in a skater shop looking at the wallets and the cute Roxy and Billabong dresses and debated whether or not to buy a cool pair of DC shoes when all of a sudden I heard it......I whipped my head around and my heart jumped....the voice of a soft whisper that said "Mel"....that's all it said.  NOBODY was around me...not a soul.  I walked out of the store thinking I was losing my mind.  I heard a voice....what is wrong with me??
I kept to myself and didn't share that with my girlfriends flying out of Ross with a bazillion bags.  Then Karleigh showed me the beautiful BIBLE she bought at Ross.  DIdn't really think anything of that either......
So we all piled into my van and headed back to our vacation home.  It was all unfamiliar territory for me so I made sure I was holding my steering wheel at "10 and 2" and looking out for signs and the roads.  Then all of a sudden out from no where a tiny baby boy ran out in the street RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY VAN!!  I saw him in my headlights....soggy diaper, blue shirt, blue shorts and beautiful black hair. 
My ABS was working so hard and my foot was braking like never before.  I stopped, the boy was untouched and just a hair from my van.  He ran to his Grampa's on the other side of the street and they looked at me as if I was going to give them an earful.  I would have but in the moment I was lost for words.  WORDS.....THE WORD.....it was in my van.....God's word! 
It all makes sense now, my Guardian Angel spoke to me to let me know he/she was there.....I wasn't losing my mind.............I was saving a life.
