One Accident, Many Blessings

Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.  Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.  Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.  Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. (Psalm 105:1-4)

This week, I’m taking the time to look back over the last five months since my dad’s motorcycle accident.  I have been quite emotional this last week thinking about the events from these last few months.  I can’t even explain to you how difficult they have been and how much I have had to depend on the Lord.  Even as I write this, I sit here in tears.  There is nothing easy about this storm, but that’s part of why I feel I need to write about it.  I need to declare the goodness of God through this.  His faithfulness is steady and sure!  He has been God all the way through this from the first day of the accident until now.  I’m grateful that He has not left His throne but that He continues His incredible work even through the most difficult times.

The Lord’s Train

…He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. (Matthew 5:45)

Today, September 17th, as I write this I’m thinking about the storm that hit my life five months ago.  The day that flipped my world upside down.  The day that still doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.  The moment when joy from our vacation in California turned to great sorrow as I heard the news that my dad was in a motorcycle accident.  The news of my dad’s accident still lingers.  He still continues to fight for his healing.  The tears still come and I still have my rough days.  Thankfully, the rough days are fewer and farther between now.  But they still come every once in a while.  One of those days was yesterday as I sat reflecting on these last five months.

Find Rest

God, the one and only—I’ll wait as long as he says. Everything I need comes from him, so why not. He’s solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul, An impregnable castle: I’m set for life.
