Читать книгу An Angel Held My Hand: Inspiring True Stories of the Afterlife - Jacky Newcomb - Страница 14

This next story comes from Sheena, who has a real mystery to share with us. Her angels were on hand to help a young girl out of clear danger on the roads. Was her angel working like a modern-day satellite navigation system to guide her in her car? Let’s look at her story.

Sheena told me about two incidents. She said:

The first incident happened when I was about 18 years old. I had recently started a new job and the drive to work was a little complicated. I had to drive down a series of country lanes and I wasn’t very familiar with them at all.

Sheena was nervous on her drive to work, so when evening came around and she had to drive back again she was already anxious:

On the way home it became very foggy. It was hopeless and I simply didn’t have a clue where I was going. I remember just watching the white line along the side of the road to make sure I was even staying on the road. It would have been very easy to take a wrong turn, hit another car or just to end up upside down in a ditch.

Sheena was at her wits’ end, but then, in no time at all, she found herself in a familiar town. It was well lit and Sheena recognized it. What a relief! At least now she knew she would be able to find her way home. But strangely the town was nowhere near where she had thought she was driving and she had absolutely no idea how on earth she had got there! Even without the fog, she says she would never have managed to get herself to this town travelling the route she had—or thought she had!

Sheena was bemused, but the rest of the journey went without incident and she soon found herself safely at home.

Her parents had been worried and were waiting up for her when she got home. They too were totally bemused by the route she must have taken:

My dad got the map out to see how I got to the town because he knows his way around so well. But he couldn’t make any sense of it and said the only way would have been if I had cut through a field. He had no idea how I had driven along country lanes and found my way there.

The whole thing was a complete mystery. Even after all this time Sheena still remembers it well. Perhaps it was an angel who guided her? She thinks it might be.

Although this isn’t car related, Sheena did have another strange experience which might have involved an angel. She told me:

When I was in my early twenties I was going on a night out with my friends. I was walking to the meeting-place on my own when I suddenly became aware of a man walking behind me. Initially I didn’t think much about it, as he was a safe distance away. But then I had to walk along a dark path and when I got to the top of it, in my head I heard, ‘Run!’ I didn’t have to be told twice and I ran as fast as I could until I got back onto a lit street.

What had happened here? Was this just an imaginary worry or was the voice real? Sheena said:

At first I thought that maybe I was just being paranoid, but when I got back onto a lit street I suddenly realized that the guy wasn’t far behind me. And the only way he could have kept up was by running too. That really made me think!

At the time I never really questioned the voice that I’d heard. I mean, it never occurred to me that I might have had some help from ‘another source’. To be honest, I had forgotten about both incidents until I was reading your book An Angel Saved my Life and then the memories just came right back to me. I think angels were showing me when they had been there for me, and I was amazed, because I hadn’t even been trying to think of particular experiences. I’d thought I was just reading a book!

I wonder if the mystery voice was the same angel who had helped with the car incident?
