It's been one of those weeks. Full of unexpected challenges and things we would not have chosen. Yet still full of reminders that our God is a merciful God, and uses all things for his glory. Sunday morning on my way to church, when my light turned green and a person going the other direction ran their red light...well, it could have gone a very different way. Praise the Lord that I wasn't just a few seconds faster, at which point would have taken the hit straight to my door. But instead, walked away with just some bumps and bruises...and completely unharmed children. I don’t know why God allowed it to happen...but I do know that I'm so very grateful that He wasn't finished with me yet on this earth....or with my boys...or with the driver of the other car. But we also face the very human responses of frustration with insurance companies...frustration with asking why it had to happen at all. So my prayer has been for patience and grace...as we wait on things that never move as quickly as we would like...as the agents we are working with are doing their jobs to the best of their ability...and as we remind ourselves that a vehicle is nothing more than a mode of transportation that can be repaired or replaced. I want to have the heart of David, when as he faced challenges it says in 1 Samuel 30:6b, but David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. Thank you God, for strength for today and hope for tomorrow!
So very very thankful for God’s protection on Sunday morning!! Vehicles can be replaced.
