yesterday, one of my favourite people was in a car accident.
the car was totalled, but by the grace of God she is completely fine.
more than completely fine, even.
because in the awful chaos and fog of writing a car off and spilled oil all over the road in the middle of the night, the Lord answered so many prayers. just like when that weight lifts from grieving the last person you lost or you begin to forget the first person you ever fell in love with, he lifted the haze and delivered her.
eventually, we will stop forgetting the lesson we are taught over and over, that we are not very good at knowing what is good for us and that the Lord is much better.
it will probably take a lot more of falling on our knees, and crying out through tears, and waiting and waiting and waiting on the Lord to answer in the wonderful way we least expect.
i am thankful for the counter-intuitive intervention of the Lord in each and every one of our days.
i am glad to be growing up together.
