That little voice

I don't usually post stuff like this on my blog but... I am feeling prompted.

 So I just got home from visiting a friend in Walnut Creek and on the drive home it was getting close to 5:00pm.
 I was driving on a pretty busy freeway going a steady 60 mph but a little slowing here and there.
 When I see this car coming up behind me so fast!!! 
I was slowing down cause the car in front of me was.
 I was just watching the car behind me hoping they would stop. 
Seriously my stomach dropped. Luckily he slammed on his breaks and didn't hit the back of my car.
 We started to gain speed again when I got this feeling to get away from this car and move into the next lane.
 I moved into the slow lane,
 and about a mile later that car that was behind me hit the car in front of him and swerved into other cars!! 
I could not believe my eyes! 
To think if I wouldn't have been listening who knows what would have happened.
 I was just so thankful that Brighton was safe.  

 As we are coming up on our 180th General Conference 
 I can't help but feel so blessed that I know about the gospel and to have the truth. 
To listen to a true Prophet of God. Wow pretty cool!

WOW, Stephanie! LOVED this post! What an ordeal...I hate driving now that I have kids. I have turned into quite the grandma driver! You are such an example for listening to the spirit and letting people know about your experience. You never know what can come of something like this! I am glad you are both are safe! Enjoy your conference filled weekend!
