Grace and Mercy

Today I am thankful. And a little fearful. I always say a little bit of fear is good...but this time I have the fear of God in me.

Today I was almost in an accident. And not in a small fender bender, but an accident where I could've been seriously injured. I'm not sure what happened. I honestly don't know. One second everything was fine and the next traffic was at a dead stop. Luckily I was able to swerve into the empty lane beside me and narrowly miss the truck in front of me. As I swerved I saw some moron parked, not broken down, in my previous lane shutting his door and walking down the side of the road to help the person that was broken down on the side of the road!!!

I have never been more scared in my entire life. God gives us life and he can just as easily take it away. Obviously HE is not done with me yet and it really makes me wonder what God has in store for me. It also makes me wonder...are we ever truly lucky? I don't think so. I think that God always provides and always has a plan. HIS plan for me was to live and spread HIS word. God wanted me to be okay and I am. Is that luck? No. I think it is a mixture of mercy and grace.
