I was on the bus headed to the airport to go on another business trip when my phone rang. It was my daughter crying uncontrollably, she had just had a car accident. I was trying to get her to calm down to see if she was alright and to see if the other driver was ok. My daughter wanted me to come but I was already on the bus. There was nothing physically I could do.
I told her, let me call somebody and I will call you right back. I called my pastor, the deacon, my co-worker and anybody else I could think of. I was trying to stay calm but hearing the fear and anguish I’m my daughters voice was making me feel more and more helpless.
I did the best thing I could do. I prayed, I prayed for her and the driver and I prayed Lord please don’t let this cost me too much. Everyone showed up to help my daughter. It was God telling me I got this, you can’t do anything anyway. I spoke with the police because my daughter forgot her drivers license, I let them know who I was and who I worked for and everything went smoothly for her. I spoke with the paramedics and they told me the other driver was ok, no airbags deployed, the driver was sitting on top of the steering and they were going to check the driver for chest and abdominal pain; and that there was very minimal damage to her bumper. I felt relieved.
God has every situation under control in our lives, whether it’s a car accident, finances, children, jobs, etc…
I’m going on my business trip in peace knowing God’s got it. Today have peace in whatever situation you are in. Just keep speaking, God’s got it.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
