My grandmother got saved from a fire tonight: Full #Testimony below!
Tonight after working at church, went home, thinking it was another normal night. Prepare for tomorrows service, take a breath, and start planning the many tasks which laid out before me. I knew the only way it could be done is if God helped me. I was ILL PREPARED for how fast God was going to step in. During service, I have my phone on silent, so I am going through my texts: Which read: "Hey, wyd, "
I decided to call him. This call would change my grandmothers life, and none of us knew it.
He and I laughed about how we planned a surprise proposal for one of our beloved church members tomarrow. I immedietly became so excited, that I had to share the news. I call my grandmother and learned quickly, when I picked up, it got her up, and I can hear her voice on the other end of the line.
"Its burning its burning its burning" - The phone went silent.
I took a breath and called her back, expecting maybe her phone was charged for too long, and what I heard when I called her back brought me immediete chills. A fire alarm, and her frantic voice. "WHERES THE FIRE WHERES THE FIRE?!"
My instincts kicked in. I started talking to her in a calming voice and soothing as I can, asking her to get to her wheelchair. She couldnt reach her emergency button. Carefully, I got details and asked her to slowly make her way safely to a hallway. She pressed her button multiple times when she found it, and no help came. The hallways were empty.
"91`1- What is the address of your emergency?"
I was calm and straightforward, my brain in overdrive. The fire department was already getting in the truck. God blessed every one of them
I found myself stomping around the room pacing and throwing myself about, praising God, until my hands were numb and praising outloud, not caring if my roomate heard. Let him hear. Let him join me kind of thing. I was shaking and praising and praying for everyone.
. I called my grandma back, and what I heard on the other line, took self control most people cannot handle: Someone yelling at her, screaming at her, and talking down to her that "How dare you call 911, now we are going to get charged/its all your fault, there is no alarm, how dare you" etc. As it worsened, The phone cut off again. Just as the fire team arrived, a officer backing them up.
The prayers didn't stop, and as I was praying deeper for forgiveness and compassion, I called again.This is when the lieutenant rush in. I managed to have my grandma pass the phone to them, and the fire team, full gear, rushed in the room, to verify the situation. who then hung up again, but this time I waited to call back.
It turned out it was a heater malfunction. The whole room smelled thick of burnt toast/burnt popcorn, and the team verified the situation was safe. If my friend and I from church did not call her at that EXACT SECOND, then my grandmother would have not been awake knowing what to do, and calling 911. (she said that she was happy I "did what was supposed to be done" ) but I guess the panic didn't make her think about calling. We were able to get the team out there and get her the help she needed for moments to spare.
We called my grandma back, and she settled down in her still-smelling room, (But intact, and alive!) and I met with my friend in person and we praised God together in celebration, for my grandmothers life saved. We were joyfully celebrating, and I immediately contacted my pastors, my grandmother verified safe, and all of us celebrating God's timing.
My grandmother is protected, those who wronged her forgiven, celebrating with my friends, pastors praising God, and my grandma laughing and smiling, and my brother wondering if God actually truly exists now because of divine timing.
......WOW.
Praise God.
