Early one morning in the spring of 2011, my car key was supernaturally bent by an angel to keep me from driving while drunk and possibly killing myself or someone else. I had gone out to a local restaurant with some girl friends that night and proceeded to copy them ordering the same drinks they were having and ended up having three hard liquor drinks! I was not a drinker. This happened the year before I would be baptized (see Supernatural 2012).
My friends and I ended up staying until the bar closed and after saying our goodbyes, I wandered (staggered) to my car, got in, put the key in the ignition – but it would not turn! It had worked just fine on the way there and always had before that. The key simply would not turn! Try as I might, there was no chance of starting the engine. I tried over and over but the key would not turn!
I finally called my husband who had to drive 15 miles to come get me at 2:00 in the morning. He could not turn the key either, and proceeded to drive us both home. I did not remember anything about the entire drive home, I was that drunk! The next morning, as we prepared to go get the car with a spare key, we both looked closely at my key again – and saw that it was clearly bent. It was actually crooked!
An angel had bent that key that night to save my life – or someone else’s. It was a supernatural miracle! I still have the key hanging in my home as a reminder of God’s love and that he truly does send angels to watch over us.
For He shall give His angles charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Psalm 91:11
