Someone is Watchin Over Me

I have to share with you guys how my Monday went ...

I was scheduled to go to the Dr outta town... had to be there at 1:30pm... Usually my mom goes with me... She usually drives and we leave Albany anywhere from an hour and 15 min to an
hour and half before we have to be there.

Now that you know that - you should also know this- My mom has really weird coincidences sometimes... she always has! She found herself lookin at black pant suits the day after
Thanksgiving thinking to herself that it would be nice to wear to a funeral.... She did not tell anyone about this until later and said she would not have bought it anyway cuz she
would have already had something to wear.

Last week we got a phone call that my mom's half brother had passed away from a massive heart attack... Again, she had a really bad feeling about traveling to the funeral (to Chattanooga, Tenn)... She would not go by herself... my dad is having serious knee problems
right now... and she was afraid that between that and the divorce hearing coming up it would stress me enough to cause me to be bedridden for several days... She had such a strong feeling about that day that she would not go ANYWHERE that day- she stayed home all day!

Monday morning, when I called her to find out if she was goin with me to the dr (cause we had not made arrangements) ... my dad was home from work early and I told her not to worry about it - I would just go by myself but as I was telling her "yeah, I'm sure"... I had a flash that the
pant suit that she was looking at was for MY FUNERAL.... Oh my, well I surely didn't say anything to my mom about that... just hurried to get ready to go... I was running late when I left AND I had to stop and get gas (we usually go in her car).... I was thinkin that I hoped I could
even make it to the dr office on time!

It was really rainy here that day... I got right outside of Sylvester (on the Albany side) and my mom calls me having a fit... "Where are you?" The emergency sirens were goin off here in Albany and bad, bad weather heading thru Sylvester and towards Tifton... right in my path...

By this time... I am into the town of Sylvester... all the traffic lights on the main road are out and cops are directing traffic on the three I passed.... I get on the other side of town and start passing emergency vehicles heading back into Sylvester from the other way... What in the world??

Looks pretty bad over towards Tifton... already told mom to call and check on my boys... Called my mom back and she said that the bad stuff is indeed heading to Tifton and I am probably gonna get there about the same time... So I call the dr office and tell them what is goin on and they tell me to just go back home and reschedule...

So I turn around and head back thru Sylvester... emergency vehicles are passing me the whole time... even after I get thru the town... they are still coming into town from the other side! I ran into such bad weather trying to get back home that I had to slow down to almost a crawl and turn my flashers on several times...

When I get home and get on the internet- a friend is worried... tells me that they had a TORNADO go thru Sylvester and he knew that it would have been about the time I would be goin thru there... He did not, of course, know that I was running late leaving the house...

Had I rode with my mom- since she is never late- OR had I been on time leaving town and not had to get gas I would have been goin thru Sylvester right when that tornado hit...

It gives me chills to think that I am sooooo lucky right now- that someone was definitely lookin over me that day... Actually, someone has been looking over me since this whole divorce started- but they took extra steps to protect me on this particular day!

I hope that story touched your heart and gave you a warm feeling like it did me...
Hugs,
