Lots has happened in my world since I last wrote--So there could be a few blogs back to back in order to fill you all in :) Bear with me please....
The Lord's grace honestly blows me away--you know how some days it just hits you how undeserving you are of it? That has happened to me repeatedly in the past few weeks....If you haven't heard a few weeks ago I had what could have been a very serious car accident. I was driving down the motorway (interstate for the americans) when a truck came into my lane
and made me lose control. I flipped onto the side of my car and slid across four lanes of traffic during rush hour and no one touched me. Two guys who witnessed it looked amazed that I was ok---they asked how, and I simply said......my Father.
Since that happened I have seen numerous car accidents that didn't end so well---and I realize that mine really shouldn't have. It truly was a miracle that I walked away without a scratch, let alone something else. And I kept asking myself why---Why did God protect me the way He did? Because believe me, I am so undeserving.
It makes you stop and think---what is my purpose here? And convicted me of the fact that many days go by when I feel like I make little or no difference in the world, yet for some reason He has decided to keep me here for this time. Maybe as a wake up call to live each day with purpose, to not get caught up in the momentary trials or frustrations, but instead to fix my eyes on Jesus--the Author and Perfecter of my faith.
He blows my mind.......I mean how many times do I neglect to spend time with Him? or willfully sin? Neglect to read the Word or share His love with others? Yet.....He is ALWAYS faithful--what unconditional love. I cannot even begin to comprehend. I pray that today the love of Jesus will transform my life---from the person I am to the person He created me to be----I am learning that I cannot do that in my own strength--it is impossible. Yet in my weakness, He radiates His strength.
