HAPPY FUN FREQUENCY FRIDAY!!!!!
Now it is always a good thing to listen to that intuition of yours.
Please bear in mind this is LONG before I became a professional intuitive. This is before I even started learning about intuitive abilities or anything metaphysical. I just knew it was there and we (my intuition and I) were at a standstill at that point in my life for the most part.
One night over 20 years ago I am still so, SO thankful I did just that! Sometimes you find out really quickly why you needed to listen <3
It was a dark night, but not a stormy one. My friend had asked me to bring my girls over to her house for a little Christmas get together. We were going to meet a few folks and have a bit of dinner. My work shift was running late that night unfortunately. This year I had taken an additional job at a store in the mall for Christmas money for the girls. I called her on my new Nokia ( :D ) that we were going to be running late. The girls were soon ready and we set off for our drive. It was a good 7 to 8 miles away her home up on the side of a mountain.
As we started down Alcoa Highway, I kept feeling we needed to get gas. In fact I kept hearing “Get Gas.” Due to our running late already I said to myself I’ll get it when we come back. Looking at my gas gauge repeatedly, I knew I had enough….I thought “I know how much is in here and we have enough to get back down the mountain.” We kept going as I passed station after station.
Now this was an older car, about 15 years older, a great little blue 1986 Chevy Nova/Toyota Tercel. (If you know about cars of that time, same model, different sticker, LOL!) It was a 4 door and with all of us it was packed. With myself and 3 teenage girls, this little car was buzzing down the road. I passed almost every single gas station of which there were many. Then as we came near to the second to the last station I heard strongly.
“Get Gas NOW!” and I wasn’t sure if that was outside or just inside my head it was so loud and strong. I jumped a little bit hearing it!
That made me LISTEN and I pulled over into the second from the last station I would pass on route to Terrie’s house. My slightly less than the 8th of a tank obviously wasn’t going to be enough for some reason. I took the time and filled up, went in and paid (yes you could do that years ago). Off we went on our journey.
Once I filled the tank, no more anything about the trip. I felt odd it was such a strong urging, but I knew to listen if it was that strong. As we turned down this extended mountain road near Rockford you could tell by the snow flakes hitting headlights it was a cold winter night. Leaves were long off the trees now and some were scurrying across the road as if they had to change sides in a hurry.
We arrived and had a wonderful time. As it was a school night, I wanted to get the girls home in time for anything necessary before the next morning. Homework was a key priority in our household. I told my friend I’d look after her house when she was away for the holidays and off we went.
I don’t remember which one of us noticed it first, but we were all kind of shocked. The girls knew I stopped for gas because of that inner prompting. When we reached the intersection of that mountain road and Sevier Highway, the lights were oddly off at the gas station. As we drove we realized all the lights were off for the most part down that road. When we turned onto Alcoa Highway, even the lights across the river were mostly off. In fact, we realized only emergency lights were on in places.
ALL the gas stations were closed. There were no lights on in stores, houses, or shopping centers and everything was closed.
As we drove, I turned on that good old fashioned thing, the car radio. The news anchor was on instead of music and told us why everything was without lights and power. There was a substation that went out in South Knoxville and everyone in South Knoxville was without power. My jaw opened wide!
Had I not listened to that voice of intuiton, the girls and I would have been stuck on the side of the road or had to walk a fair few miles from home! This we discussed because my youngest said loudly, “It’s a good thing you got gas when you did Momma!” She asked me how I knew and I told them. There was a “Whoa, that’s weird” said a few times.
We arrived home safe and sound. As I drove around the back I kept the high beams on my old farm house back door. Our two Basset hounds let me know they were upset with no lights or heat! I got out of the car, and unlocked the door. Then I had the kids come in and lit candles. After that, I went back out to the car to listen to the radio just to see if I could hear when they expected power to be restored.
We took the dogs out for their last of the night walks. Flashlights in hand for that. Thankfully our Basset hound babies were sweet and easy dogs, NuNu and Coppertop, did their business had a couple of Whoops and came back in out of the cold. Up on my sofa bed they landed ready for cookies and night time cuddles!
The cats headed for the girls rooms away from the doggy whoops and barks. They found their spots in good measure under the covers with the kids eventually.
Another things to be thankful for was that we had 2 Kerosene heaters that we lit for warmth. That old farm house may have been a cabin once but the drafts were enough to keep you cold no matter what if we’d not lit the heaters. We had candles in special spots to avoid fire potentials and readied ourselves for bed.
Thankfully I listened to that inner (and a little outer) prompting for gas that night. I said a lot of thank you’s then and even today. That late at night, with everything closed there wasn’t much traffic and we would have been stuck or had to walk for a few miles late at night. As it was, we made it home safely, our fur babies were all right and we had a good night.
