Woman’s ‘Sixth Sense’ Tells Her To Roll Down Window, Then She Hears A Voice

Tabitha Gallagher hates driving with her window open, but Tuesday morning, she felt like she should roll it down as she drove along South River Road in Clarksburg, California. That simple guided move would be life-changing for the 27-year-old, when moments later she realized what her sixth sense was telling her.

Tabitha was travelling alone that morning and the weather was nice, so in a sudden move that even surprised herself, she rolled her window down and took in the cool fall breeze. In the split second she checked her mirror, she made a mistake where the road turned. Tabitha over-corrected her car, causing her to roll down an embankment and into the Sacramento River.

Her life flashed before her eyes, and it was too late to do anything about it now. She instantly regretted rolling her window down, and she headed toward the muddy water that was seconds from flooding into her car. “I was just like oh, (expletive) here it comes, like, I knew it was coming, like there was nothing I could do to stop it, so I just embraced it,” she told Fox 40.

The loud crashing and crumpling of her small white sedan was suddenly silenced when her car hit the water with the driver still inside as it began settling into the river. In those seconds of silence, Tabitha said she heard a man’s voice. “I didn’t hear a sound, and then I just heard Him say, ‘Just breathe, you’re gonna be OK, just stay calm.’ And so in my head, I said, ‘OK,'” she said.

Tabitha, who described herself as not being a religious person, was immediately comforted by the words, which didn’t come from a rescuer or any physical being there to save the day — it was much more powerful than that. She acknowledged that the voice was God. But He didn’t just reassure her, he guided her through the next miraculous steps she used to save her own life, which would render emergency responders speechless after witnessing the scene.

From God’s comforting voice telling her she was going to be okay, Tabitha instinctively knew what to do next. She unbuckled her seatbelt and swam out of the window she had opened before crashing. Had she not had her window open, like every other time she had driven, she wouldn’t have been able to free herself from the submerged car. God was with her even before speaking to her in the water.

“I hate having the window down. I never drive with it down, and for some reason, I did ’cause it was nice out,” she explained in retrospect of the whole scenario that was led by God and would possibly change her view on Christianity from that day forward.

Tabitha got herself to dry land before her car went completely under, right about the time emergency vehicles arrived. She had not a scratch on her, despite rolling down the embankment into the Sacramento River, and the roof of her vehicle was completely caved in. Responders were stunned at her condition compared to what her car looked like, and some were quick to call it a miracle, including Tabitha herself who considers the ordeal a possible “sign.”

The 27-year-old told the news station that she hasn’t been “super religious” in life and continually goes back and forth on how she feels about her beliefs in a higher being. But what she experienced Tuesday in the water, she said may have been a “sign” telling her heart what is truly right.

God is real, and He saved her life that morning in more ways than one. If she chooses to give her heart to God after what He showed her, then she can have everlasting life. He works in mysterious ways, using all things to His glory, even car accidents and tragedy. But Tabitha made it out unscathed and now has an opportunity to live each day differently. This could have been the answer she’s been looking for all of her life.
