I know without a doubt that God has a plan for my life... But I wonder what it is? I try to have a long view and a vision, but when the carpet is yanked out from under me, its really hard to think of anything besides "ouch!"... He is working, and He is moving fast. I can't keep up with Him! I'm getting dizzy. He could've taken my life in that car accident we had, but He didn't. He held up the guard rail, and stopped the car just in time to keep us from rolling down the hill. The during the process of all this, everything seemed to be in slow motion, and I didn't think much. Only a few thoughts presented themselves. You know how they say your whole life will flash before your eyes? It won't. I thought three, one sentence thoughts.
#1. Huh, so this is what it's like to be in a car wreck.
#2. I never noticed that light pole before. And,
#3. I wonder what my purpose was?
I never thought about dying, but it was so obvious that I had already fulfilled my life purpose, that I just wondered what it had been. Then the car stopped, and I was alive. I stepped out and saw how close we were to death, and knew that my purpose was still out there waiting for me. Talk about inspiration! I just stood still and didn't say a word.
I'm going to be thrown into a new community, new suroundings, new people, new world, and God has a plan for me there. I need to think about all the people there, instead of all the people here. All the experiences to come, instead of all the experiences past.
Sometimes great gain comes with great loss. This is one of those times, and I must remind myself of this.
