A friend of mine is very sweet and meek, even humble. Just a sweet spirit. So I was surprised when she told me how she recently "took charge" when she found herself in the midst of a collision.

Jean was approaching an intersection and noticed a man crossing the street in front of her and also a fast approaching Surburban was coming up from behind. She kept watching the Surburban in her rear view mirror. It was coming way too fast and might run into her. She couldn't move forward because of the pedestrian crossing in front of her. And just before the car ran upon her, it swerved quickly and struck the pedestrian crossing in front of Jean.

Jean said she bounded from her Jeep, and ran straight to the injured man now lying in the street. She screamed out for someone to call "911". She contined barking out orders for someone to stand up front and direct traffic, and told someone else to get the First Aid kit out of the back floor of her Jeep. She had picked up his head, put it on her lap, began stroking his hair trying to calm him, and telling him help was on the way and that he'd be fine. People were stopping and gathering, and an ambulance soonshowed up to drive him to the hospital.

The next morning she called the hospital to find his condition was "Serious". And the next day, he was upgraded, but still recovering and would be fine.

What unforseen force takes us by the hand and guides us to do things that are out of character? Why was she put in this man's path that evening or vice versa? Have you ever had a similar experience?
