How I believe God Winked at Me for Doing the Right Thing
less than two weeks after the merger vote, April 25th, I was driving down my street going home. On my street, I passed a Clayton County fire truck and ambulance at a neighbor’s house. No sirens or lights were on, so I assumed the emergency was under control, but it still struck me that this is what we just voted for, and it touched my heart. I proceeded to drive to my house. I backed up into the driveway as I normally do but stayed at the foot of the driveway/street, resonating on what I just witnessed. I was praising God for what I just saw, still sitting in my jeep at the bottom of the driveway. All of a sudden, while sitting in my jeep praising, a City of Riverdale fire truck strolled down the street right in front of me. No lights or sirens were on, as the emergency was now under control, and they were no longer needed. THE CLOSEST source of help was able to get to my neighbor. PRAISE GOD!!
I looked at this as a sign from God as confirmation that I had done the right thing, and this is what I was called here to do. If I were 15 minutes earlier or later, I may have missed what I just witnessed. If I were laying on the couch watching TV, I would not have seen the fire truck drive by my house. How many times do you go outside and see a fire truck rolling down the street? I was placed in the right place at the right time to get this confirmation from
God: Girl, you did the right thing, and you know I got you!! 😉
If this does end up being my last year in office, I have no complaints and can leave with my head held very high. Because I know that a decision I made will indeed save a life, if it hasn’t already done so.
