Awhile back, I included a Beliefnet interview with Joan Wester Anderson as a second post after my video on guardian angels. On the message board of that interview, Beyond Blue reader Barbara shared this story:
I don't know why things happen as they do, but I do know when I am in control and when something/someone else is.Example: My son and I were very poor, and we were just sitting and relaxing. Our joke was always, "if we ever get extra money, we will go shopping at the mall." Well, no extra money, no mall.
On this relaxing day, I suddenly knew I was to head toward the mall. "Come on, we must go to the mall." My son never questioned my actions, so into the car and toward the mall.
As I approached a yellow light, which I usually run, I saw a rag.
"Look at the rag in the street," I said.
The light was about to change, and I saw that the rag was a child. I jumped out of the car, and ran to the child. I took a second to decide what to do: it is a criminal offense if I hurt the child in trying to help him.
Then, without waiting, I picked the child up just as the cars were coming at us, and went to the sidewalk. The child was unconscious.
Soon the parents came. The child had fallen out of their car and they didn't miss him for awhile.
They called an ambulance, and my son and I returned.
I knew in my heart that we were never to go to the mall. We were to be at that light just before red turned to green and the cars crushed the child.
His angel was on duty, I have no doubt in this at all. This was out of my character, so it was not anything that could be explained away with something I do on a normal basis.

We serve a wonderful ,caring, God. You are privaledged to be open to His voice, we so often are inclined to turn Him off when He speaks to us. I know God will Bless you for your heeding His voice.
Things happen for a reason and we don't question. I think that when something like happens, we have had a feeling/vision that we should be at a certain place at a certain time, but don't really know why and we, like I said before, don't question.
the lord works in mysterious ways and with you it was one of his ways god bless you and your lovely son. ps if we more people like you the world would be a better place dont worry you will get the mall good things come to those who wait. god bless
I do like this story and the connection to a spiritual power of GOD, but i do question things- because I like to know why things are the way they are. I do question GOD alot, because I want to understand him more.
His reasons for things and the connection for the good things in life. It makes me understand life more, otherwise i would go insane if i didnt question GOD. When i see things come for the good in my vision that is, I see GOD WORK HIS MIRACLES, when I SEE THINGS GO WRONG I DON'T SEE IT AS THAT- and I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. I TRY TOO- TO LET IT BE, IF IT FEELS WRONG AND WORKS OUT WRONG.
I felt so many wrong things in my life, I felt evil and felt BEAUTY AND THE LOVE OF GOD AND THATS SO WONDERFUL. But i have my own TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS AND CROSS ROADS IN MY LIFE THAT IS OFTEN MIND BOGGLING AND BIZARRE TURN OF EVENTS- THAT I SEE ITS SPIRITUAL WARFAR FOR MY SOUL. SO MANY UNEXPLAINABLE CHAIN OF EVENTS THAT HAVE BEEN DESTRUCTIVE IN MY CAREER AND LOVE LIFE
OVER THE YEARS. ITS LIKE THE WORLD HAS TOTALLY GONE INSANE AND RUN BY THE DEVIL, AND IM LIKE ONE OF THE LAST GOOD CHRISTIAN LEFT ON THE EARTH TO WATCH OTHERS SUCCESSES & HAPPINESSES.
HEY I MAYBE CLOSER TO THE TRUTH THAN I REALIZE, AND I DO THINK WE ARE IN THE END TIMES. THE WORLD IS SO MESSED UP RIGHT NOW EVEN WITH OUR GOOD PRESIDENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE. HE SEEMS OKAY- BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT IS TO HAPPEN IN THE YEARS AHEAD. GREED CORRUPTION- EVIL WAR DISCRIMNATION SEPERATISM JUDGEMENTALISM FAVORITISM-LIES AND MORE LIES SURROUND US.
I WILL ADD MY VOICE TO MY LIFES MISSION STATEMENT, I DONT WANT TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE- I HAVE A LOVE AND PASSION AND ITS MY VISIONARY CREED: " i love women- peace- the arts the nature of things with a passion without reservations"...
LOVE AND PEACE TO ALL: IM HANGING IN THERE FOR MY REASON AND LIFES PURPOSE HERE ON EARTH
