Stranded on the Ice

[Dave Darling]

Hey, praise report! The weather forecast called for it to get down to 7 degrees F tonight. I decided to go check out a new apartment complex I was going to move into at about 5pm. I made a wrong turn and I ended up going down a dirt road, suddenly I was on a sheet of ice and was just spinning my wheels and couldn't get free. Thankfully there was a farm house down the street and I was able to go for help, there were some very nice people there who helped me out! We tried everything to get the car free and couldn't do it, finally I was able to back up and get a running start and make it over the ice, I got free after about 2 hours! The man at the farmhouse had an idea and we tried it and it worked, I think this was God! I also got a heated winter vest for Christmas (it is battery powered and produces heat) and I am very glad I had that, it may have saved my neck! I also got a survival kit for Christmas and it was in the trunk of the car, thankfully I didn't need it but I am very glad I had that on-hand!

Looking back I think I have some ideas to help people in this situation. You may want to keep all of these in your car- a survival kit, snow shovel (metal), some emergency food and water, and a solar-powered battery that can charge a cell-phone

This is inspiring and comforting to hear. Indeed, God must have put kind souls in the way to help you out of a bad (and would have been rather scary for me personally) situation.

Praise God all turned out well. A box of cat litter is useful in the car as well - it adds weight, and when spread on ice and under your wheels, can help you gain some traction.
