cinco

Today sorta snuck up on me. Not the day. But the date. Before lunch I kept writing the wrong date on invoices and packing slips. October 4th. And then I was back in the office with a full tummy and I sat there staring at my messy boyish writing

'October 5th'.

And my heart sorta hurt and felt glad at the same moment. And of course my eyes filled with tears. And I recalled the moments that took place 5 years ago. And I sent out txt messages and updated facebook and people responded in ways that they should... but every year I am reminded that 'today' is much bigger than anyone will ever realize. it's much greater than i realize.

5 years ago today i was ran over by a car.

Thats so very easy to say and never that easy to deal with. but regardless today is a very good day.

Sometimes when people share of the day they accepted Jesus into their heart i think of this day.

I knew my Abba long before this accident. At this time He was my Lord and over time He would become my healer. Over time He would become my strength.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

"But He said to me,

'My grace is sufficient

for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.'

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that

Christ's power may rest on me.

That is why for Christ's sake I delight in weaknesses,in insults,

in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.

For when I am weak,

then I am strong"
