Hit head on by a Suburban which was 3 times the size of my Honda Civic, the SUV ran a red light as I was making a left on a green arrow. My car spun out of control and as I was spinning uncontrollably my head hit the steering wheel and I blacked out, I don't know for how long but when I awoke my car hood was on fire and the engine was smoking and no one would come near me to help because my car was rapidly leaking fluids and they didn't know if the car was going to explode or not but... by the GRACE OF GOD I made it out alive!
When death knocks at your door even when you invited it you may quickly have a change of heart and decide you want to live!
When God blesses you with a second chance you learn to take life more seriously and make the best of every moment.
If it wasn't for this accident I wouldn't be who I am today! God has a way of humbling you and drawing you closer to him when your life is spiraling out of control. I should have been dead, even the police were amazed that I walked away with only a head contusion, swollen ankle, and a few bruises. I still have back pains here and there on my left side where I was hit the hardest but it is only a reminder of how blessed I am to be alive! From that day forward I promised myself that I would not take His mercy for granted any longer. I made a decision to start living my life for Him and Him only.
I detached myself from bad influences, anything or anyone who would pull me away from His presence in order to focus solely on Him. That was the best decision I ever made in my life!
I won't say that it was a breeze from that point on but the journey was worth while as I am still walking in His will for my life and holding on to Him and His promises as I belong to Him forever.
God is good and merciful! God is faithful and He loves you even when you don't love or respect yourself. Invite Him into your heart today, He heals deep wounds, and can turn your mess into a blessing, and He can make you see the silver lining in any situation no matter how cloudy it may seem. Keep your focus on Him and Him only. Drown out the negative in this world and when you feel like you are drowning and you can't hear His voice... Shut out the world and bury yourself in His Word and hold tight to His promises.
With Love,
