Life changing moments

Alisha was in a car accident this weekend. The whole situation makes me think about life and how each moment can change the next forever. How interesting that this is true but we dont really think about it as we travel along our life's road until we come to some kind of set back or tragedy. Yes, her car was demolished and it has created issues and financial setbacks for her and us.....but when you look at it compared to her life, it just isnt such a big deal. You hear of accidents everyday, some not so bad ,some fatal. It is just not a life changing moment until it happens to someone you know. Alisha could have been killed. She could have broken bones. She could have had internal damage to her body and been hospitalized for weeks. She could have hurt someone in the other car. The list goes on and on. I know that God protected her and all this is for a purpose that we dont understand. God orchestrates our lives that everything may bring Him glory. That is a pretty amazing thought.

A man's heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9

I too am sooooo glad she was OK, as the other lady.

Scary moments, but thank God she is okay. As I told her when I arrived at the scene of the accident, "It's only a car. Just metal."
It's all a part of growing and learning, isn't it?
