I have been embracing life a lot lately. I've been walking right into storms and out on a sunnier side (not quite rainbows, but seriously blessed!). There has been a lot and again so blessed, BLESSED, BlESSED! God has given me many testimonies lately, but I will only share this one. I have had a lot I have been dealing with lately and Friday just added to it. On the 4th of July I was waiting on oncoming traffic to pass to turn into my parents' driveway and was rearended at a very high speed it knocked my car several yards. There was a police officer that wittnessed it. The driver of the other car hit his head and i have a lot of back and neck pain and stiffness. So thankful we weren't hurt any worse. Kristen wasn't with me another blessing! My brother-in-law said by me not having much gas in my tank saved me cause it could have blown up because the rear of the car was smashed into the fuel tank/pump. It was totally God, my life is in His hands! i feel so BLESSED! Sunday I was doing my devotion which lead me to Isaiah 58:8,9-
"8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you,and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. 9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I."
The Glory of the Lord was most definitely my rear guard that day no doubt! The life that God continues to breathe into me has really had a positive affect on my mother hearing her talk about how she believes in prayer (even though I haven't seen her pray since I was a child)and hearing her call me sweetie for the first time in so long during all that has been going on means so much to me. That is priceless and worth every ounce of my pain and then some! I really think she sees the breath God continues to breathe into me as something more than just another day He has given me. It is so much MORE!
My car was totaled so I'm a bit stressed out about getting another car, but I know God will work thru this w/ me. I trust Him!
Peace today has come to many and on a personal note to myself. Thank you for being so faithful to each of us, Lord!
Breathe Him again & again ~leigh
