Driven by GOD

One friday in Aug 2004, I filled my car with gasoline. My cousin was getting married the next day. I worked 1/2 day saturday and went to wash my car that afternoon at 3:00 pm. I started to get extremely hot (one of my indications that trouble may be coming my way). I quickly went next door to McDonalds to get two large cups of ice water. One to drink and one to pour on my body. The next thing I remember is getting into an ambulance. The paramedics were yelling at me and asking me questions. "Who are you?" "Do you know your name?" I tried to sit up. I was so confused. I looked up to see my mother in my dad's arms about to pass out. My daughter on the side of him crying and calling my name. It was dark outside. For some reason the clock in the ambulance read 10:30. I had no idea what had happened.

When I arrived at the hospital they told me what happened. I had pulled up to a gas station. I had seized out with my eyes rolled to the back of my head. My shirt was bloodied from biting my tongue. My foot was on the brake and my car was in drive. My car was less than two inches from the gas tank and I had 1/4 gas left in my car. I did not know where I had been in all of that time. My car had been driven because all of my gas I bought the day before was gone. I did not hurt anyone nor myself. I was at a gas station about 3 miles from the area from where I washed my car. My family was driving around going to all of the car washes nearby. They just happened to go pass the gas station where I ended up. All I can say is, "God drove my car and kept me and others from harm. Just have faith God will always see you through."
