MyTestimony

Where do I start when there's so much to say?
I woke up this morning,
laid on the floor; rolled around giving thanks for my life.
If not for God, where would I be today?
Who am i that he should watch over me?

Yesterday, I confirmed that he that
watches over me neither sleeps nor slumber.
I drove hrs away from home to pick up stuffs for O' Collectionz.
On the way back, my mind was unsettled.
I didn't know what to pray about so I kept
thinking "dear lord, let my business go well.
I place all I do in your hands. let it go well."

The more I tried to pray for prosperity
the more the prayer of safety,
and long life came to my thoughts.
I had that same feeling the last time
we drove to DC and had an accident on the way back.

I felt scared.
Why do I always have to know
when something bad is about to happen?
I kept on praying until I got to my area.
I gave thanks and decided to stop by the bank.

As I pulled out of the bank,
I heard my stomach growl. Mickey D's was
down the road so i smiled.
As I was getting close to the restaurant,
I pulled into the yellow lane in order to make the turn.
the minute i got into the yellow lane
all I heard was ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
and gbashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


My leg did not leave the brake
but I was unconscious for well over 10 minutes.
I looked outside and I saw a girl on the road screaming and crying
"Oh my God! I hit her. Oh my God! I hurt her"
She was lamenting while I was trembling.

People walked up to me to see if I was okay and I
just nodded. A passerby called the police and........
......................................................................................
she apparently drove straight out of her apartment complex
with the intention of making a u turn from the yellow lane
she didn't have the right of way
she did not check to see oncoming traffic
and bashed into me sideways.


Here you'll see a part of the damage
front door and back door was fully bashed.
When the police told me to get my license
and all, I had to go in through the window to get my bag.
Just thank God for me
and thank God for my sister
If she had been in the car, she could have been seriously injured.

The car is at the workshop
I had to tow it away from the incident
My insurance company said they'll get a
hold of her insurance company and sort it out.
For the main time,
I have to cover the expenses and wait for reimbursement.
I will have transportation prob for God knows how long
but I give thanks for my life


Please praise the lord with me

Amazing Grace

Have you any idea of the mess you were in or moving toward
when God reached down and saved you?


Perhaps an illustration may help you get the picture.

You took your children to a petting zoo and a little lamb
comes running towards you, you probably won't be afraid
because lambs are harmless.
You might let your kids pets it.
You might reach out your hand and let it lick you.

Let's say you're at the zoo and the alarm goes out
that a lion has escaped from its cage.
If you're standing there and that lion comes running towards you,
you'll be terrified and start to run because you know what lions can do.

But just suppose that the runaway lion
corners you in one part of the zoo and comes up to you
Instead of attacking you, it gently licks your hand the way the lamb did.


Whose gentleness would you appreciate more?
The lamb or the lion?


I bet you'd appreciate the lion's gentleness more because
it could have easily destroyed you without violating
its nature as a lion.


That's GRACE people!
Grace is God's kindness, and gentleness towards us.
We sin every time! God could have backed us into a corner
and destroy us without violating his holy character.
But he wanted us to know that there is a meek side to him
just like the lion did in the illustration.
Instead of God expressing wrath when we sin,
he wants us to run to him as his very own children.
He sacrificed his only son so we might have life in abundance.
Isn't that amazing?


Isn't this AMAZING GRACE?
