HI !!! We are getting ready to go to Arizona again , it is going to be awesome, I love it out west.
I thought I would squeeze one more event in before we are gone for a week again.
The next event that I can remember at this time happened around 2001 or so. I use to have an franchise with Domino's pizza for 23 years, that I since have retired from. During that time ,I acquired a mobile pizza unit and would travel around in this region and set up at gas stations and such to sell freshly made pizza's, one of those towns was in Rock Port MO.
On one of my trips up to Rock Port I took a friend to help me inside the trailer, he is a good friend and we did a lot of hunting together previously and had a lot of neat experiences. He said I was the luckiest guy he had ever met , I would always respond it is not luck it is the Lords hand helping me!
Well on this trip as we were heading up to Rock Port thru Burlington Junc. And just west of the town are bridges that go over the river there, and as we crossed the bridge a tire blew out on the mobile unit. This was a big deal because even tho it is a dual axel trailer it weighs 20,000 pounds!!! and the trip is very hilly and curvy,so we could not continue without fixing the tire, and of course I did not have a spare!!
We turned around in the driveway of a farmstead located just west of the bridge on the right side, after we got turned around, my friend said what are we going to do? I calmly looked at him and said , you know that voice that I say speaks to me sometimes and he started chuckling and said skeptically yeah, Well that voice is telling me our answer is in Burlington. He said whaaat!! Dave there is not a gas station or tire store in that town your out of your mind if you think we will find the size of tire you need !! I responded "you have to have faith" as we started to get closer to town . I don't know why ,but the spirit was really strong with me at that moment and as we got to the outskirts of town, I turned to my friend and pointed there! is were we will get help and our tire ! I was pointing at the co-op grain elevator business, my friend started laughing hard and said Dave that is a grain elevator they don't sell tires or change tires you dummy!!!, I told him very matter of fact that the spirit was saying this was the spot, so I turned in to the parking lot and we got out and went inside the main office. Standing behind the counter was the manager and standing over by the window was an old fella. I asked the manager if he had any tires for sale and he started laughing , he said this is a grain elevator , at that time the old timer said what do you need? I told him we needed a tire fixed on our trailer , he ask what size tire do you need , I told him the size and he said I think I can help you boy's!!! I looked at my friend and smiled he dropped his head and shook it, out of disbelieve.
We followed the farmer to his homestead and it was the same one we turned around in!!!He took us to his machine shed and opened the doors and their sat a tire changing machine!!!He walked over to the wall and there sat two tractor tires and two smaller tires , while he was looking at the size of the tires ,he asked again their size I told him again and he said that is the strangest thing these tires are exactly the size you need! I responded by saying that doesn't surprise me at all!!!!! I looked at my friend and he was dumbfounded with how this was developing. The old timer said funny thing about these tires is that I told my friend that I would take care of their daughter while she was in college at NWMSU and I just changed her tires last week , I was going to toss them ,but something told me to hang on to them. I thought to myself yeah the spirit told you! he knew I was going to be in need!
Well we got back on the road lickty split ,the total amount of time lost was only 30 minutes!! I looked at my friend who was in shock and I said what did I teach you today. He said what I've learned is that your freaking weird!!! I did my best to teach of GOD"S hand in these events and that you just have to listen to the spirit ,he is always there to help you, yes I believe that, the gut feeling you get is the Savior trying to help you , listen to those prompting's and know that GOD exist. GOD BLESS and LOVE ALWAYS
