Late Night Reflection

Apr 17, 2009


At times, when I think of the goodness of Jesus, I get overwhelmed and wholeheartedly feel like breaking down in tears. I have sooooo much to be thankful for, as does everyone else. And it’s crazy, because if you let Fox 5 News tell it…there is never anything good going on in the world. But truth be told, the Lord works miracles every single day. A lot of people say that God works in mysterious ways, but I disagree, because everything that we have and everything that we are going to receive has been promised to us.

I don’t know why I started thinking about this tonight, probably because it's prom season…

…but I was in a car accident on prom night of 2005. Myself and 4 other people were in truck riding back from a cookout that our pastor had for us the afternoon before the big dance or whatnot. It was raining extremely hard and the driver was being reckless, to say the very least. I can still picture it all in my head. One minute, we were listening to Mobb Deep, “Got it twisted” and the next minute we were in big ditch trying to hurry up and get out of the car because we thought it was going to catch fire, judging from all the smoke pouring out of the hood.

After the accident, the truck was shaped like a V and if you would have passed by, you would have thought that there were no survivors at all. Fortunately, we hit an orange mile marker, which prevented us from barreling into some big trees and both doors were able to be opened just enough for all of us to get out of the car.

The next morning in church, some of us were asked to give our testimony but I passed on the chance, because I didn’t realize the severity of the situation at first. But today when I look back on the accident, I get choked up. I also get struck with feelings of humility, because I realize that God’s grace is a wonderful thing to be in.


What’s your testimony?

So true so true. Its sad to think, that many dont realize who or what God is until something bad happens. But like you said, we have so much to be thankful for. And yes, when you actually sit down and THINK about things, you will tear up. God is too good.I can even begin to type about it all....
