Life this past week has been less then amazing or phenomenal. You know those moments where bam something comes along and your life flashes before your very eyes and you have no idea where that moment came from and why?
Yea my life has been that way for the past week..... Side note: I strongly believe God prepares us for these BAM seasons we just don't know that He has prepared us for that BAM moment. : Over the past 3 weeks I have seen people pass away , families broken, girls I've mentored fall apart and life just thrown at your face. I have been reminded through all of this that God is faithful and God is true and God is God through all of this. And on top of it all we are not guaranteed anything in life.... not even our next breath or our next dream to come to pass.... ..This has been the BIG "Shock" reminder to me in the past weeks. And i thought through all that has gone on God was just like here Crystal be reminded that I am who I say I am and I will do what I say I will do and on top of it My Grace is Sufficient through every circumstance not just the ones you choose my grace for! But my grace is always present and always Sufficient!
Well His grace sure was put to test in my life on Monday, As i was driving and half way paying attention i ran into a car .... probably one of the top most scariest times in my life. In the moments of seeing it, slamming on my brakes and swerving all i could think of what Jesus..... as my car stopped after hitting a bush and skimming a telephone pole my heart was racing a hundred miles per hour i had no idea what to think except for am i okay , is the other car ok,,,,, in those moments my heart was numb , and this stranger stopped ran over the me to check on me and calm me down along with 3 other cars full of people.... when the ambulance came all i could think over and over again was God your grace is sufficient.
Even though this was the crummiest thing that could happen especially with it being my fault, and me walking away with very minor injuries ...my heart was reminded wow , God you grace really is all i need!
Yesterday i was faced with my car to see the damage.... after looking at it i was taken back ....as the damaged done to the car should have caused more damaged to me ...but because God is such a sovereign God and his grace is overly sufficient he watched over me! .... The past 2 days I have been stuck to resting...just resting ....(Which if you know me i am known to hate rest, but am constantly on the go). In this unexpected season of trusting in God that insurance will work its way out and just resting i am reminded that His grace is sufficient, His grace will get me through because along with His grace comes an everlasting Peace. So along with soaking up His grace I am having to lay it all down at his feet and focus on this unexpected season of learning about His amazing, undeniable GRACE!
Second paragraph is my favorite - good stuff Crystal. And I'm so very thankful that God kept you safe. Love you friend!
