"God willing and the creek don't rise" có cụm từ "God willing" chỉ sự sẵn lòng giúp đỡ của Chúa, và từ "creek" (nhánh sông, sông con) nhắc đến thời điểm ngập lụt, cản trở đi lại. Cụm từ có nghĩa đơn giản là nếu như tất cả mọi việc đều suôn sẻ, thuận lợi. 

Ví dụ 
Tom: Will you be able to get the house painted before the cold weather sets in? 
Jane: Yes, God willing and the creek don't rise. 

"I’ve loved it for the last 16 years and I decided I wanted to open a business here,” Sexton said. “Hopefully I’ll grow old and retire here, God willing and the creek don’t rise too much more.” 

God willing and the creek don’t rise, I’ll spend the next four weeks taking a closer look at the modern tools and techniques hurricane forecasters (nhà dự báo) like me use to zero on risks (tránh rủi ro) at each of those ranges (phạm vi). 

As an EV advocate (người ủng hộ), I am excited to see the electric cars from Volkswagen that will be on sale in America beginning next year. When I pointed out the new VW television ad (quảng cáo) to my wife, that ID Buzz electric van got an emotional response from her. Call it a “Wow!” We can see ourselves parking one of those where the LEAF now sits in our garage some day, God willing and the creek don’t rise.
