God answers prayers

So just wanting to share with you that God does answer prayers and proofs Himself to us! We're not trying to show how cool our story is, but we want to show you the glory and power of God! Last night, driving to North Carolina, we got into a town where a big storm had happened and the more we drove into it, the worse it was getting. The power and phone signal were gone, so it was dark, full of snow, and trees were fallen all over the road. Too late to turn around, too far from a city and a hotel, and having no clue where we were. We couldn't call anybody, the internet connection wasn't working either! So right when I started to get worried, our car slid to the side of the road, leaving us right on the edge of the road where a few centimeters would have thrown us down a 10 foot bank into a river. So here you go, a 7 month pregnant lady and her hubby sitting right on the edge of this bank and praying for God's wisdom. Once we realized about the bank down there, we got out and just prayed and prayed and prayed. No lights, no phone signal, and a bunch of snow! So we decided to walk on the side of the road to find the nearest house and used our phones as lights! And guess what? not even 5 minutes after, a family with a big truck happened to pass by us because they were going from their house to somebody else's house, and stopped to help us! With a chain hooked to both cars they got us out! And we believe God sent them as an answer to our prayer, cause there were no cars driving around! And not only He sent us a family to help us, He sent us a plowing truck to drive in front of us and plow the road so we could get to the nearest hotel! So, not only God answers our prayers, He gives us way more in abundance! Wrapped in my favorite blanket, I didn't feel the cold, baby was good and cozy in my belly, and everything worked out!
God is so good! We don't even deserve it!!!! :)
We hope this story can be a blessing to you! Have a wonderful day!
