Friday

I was just reading my friend's blog and a lot of what she said has also been on my mind. This week in church, Sunday night Lesya, Nelly, Lilya, and Antone, got into a car accident. Their mom (Lesya's mom) said she did not think her hear would be able to "take it" when she came on the scene and saw her son's face filled with blood and her daughters hurt. On Tuesday night a grandfather and preacher in our church had a stroke. A bad one. He is unresponsive for now. We will continue to pray. This goes to show that in the blink of an eye something serious can happen to us, that could change the rest of our lives. Later Alesya crashed into a truck in front of her. Yea on facebook she is saying good bye to her car, but really, who knows what could have happened if it wasn't for God's mercy and grace.
I am reminded where in the Bible there is a verse that says that God will show mercy to those he wants to show mercy to, and put others through hardships. It is all in his hands!! Of course for us humans, it is not easy to put everything in His hands when "bad" things happen. But no matter how to try to control a situation, God will do what He wants to do.
Through all of this I am reminded of God's mercy and grace in my own life. Of how God chose to show his mercy. About two months ago I had what I would say the second worst scare of my life. Yes there was a first "worser" scare in my life, but I don't think its worth blogging about. Not everyone will understand. But this second scare was something that could have changed my life forever. Probably scarier than my first scare, or they are probably equal in "scariness." (Sorry, I'm babbling) I still thank God that things turned out the way they did. I don't know if I would have survived that things turned out differently...So stay tuned for that story coming up in the next few days.
Blessings,
Lesya
