Words Of Life - John 3:27

I'm still a bit behind on the memorizing, and I accidentally went out of order, but the effort of memorizing is bringing me closer to Christ even if I am "off schedule." (#138)  As always, this was taken from Ann Voskamp.  Stop by her blog and read her words of wisdom.

Luke 12:23-24

Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!

This Simply Sunday is a bit different, other than the fact that it is late in the day being posted again, there is no picture, only a story...

A few years ago, when I first started driving a school bus I came in at the end of my shift and a supervisor asked me how my day went.  I told him it was terrible and the following conversation ensued:

Him, "Really?!? I didn't hear you on the radio. Did you get in an accident?"

Me, "No."

Him, "Did you hit a child?"

Me, "No."

Him, "Did you run over an animal?"

Me, "No."

Him,"Did you damage any property?"

Me, "No,"

Him, "Then it sounds like a good day to me."

Today was also a good day.... and I can say with certainty that if God had not answered our prayers and those of other people on our behalf, I would not be able to say that.  

Angelica was driving, we were just outside of Atlanta.  It was raining.  She was in the left lane of a three lane highway.  She turned on her signal, checked the traffic to make sure it was safe, and began to move into the middle lane.  At that same moment, a semi that was in the right hand lane began changing lanes without using a blinker.  Angelica reacted.  In fact, she over-corrected and the car began swerving back and forth across all three lanes of traffic.  The car swerved back and forth about five times before beginning to spin.  About two-thirds of the way around the second donut, the car began to rock side to side, resting on only two tires at a time before coming to rest on all four facing the oncoming traffic, just a few feet from the guardrail.  Below the bridge was another highway.  

Anyone who has ever driven in Atlanta knows that the traffic is non stop, even on the weekends.  Today was no different.  By some miracle, no one ran in to our car.  The traffic all went around us, no matter where we happened to be at the moment.  We didn't run in to anything and no one ran in to us.  We are all OK.  Sore, but OK.  

Psalm 91:11-12

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

Angelica typed out her version of events over on her blog.  She was understandably quite shaken and might need a bit of encouragement.  I would appreciate if you all would pop by her blog and leave an encouraging message.

Philippians 4:4

Rejoice in the LORD always. I will say it again: rejoice!

***************************************************************

In participating with the photo challenge, today's word was "What You Are Reading" and the truth is with the fog that my brain is often in from the lupus, I am not currently doing much reading aside from what is required for teaching the girls and scripture. I can't remember the last book I read and I am not in the scriptures as much as I would like.  This passage in Philippians that Angelica has memorized this fall is one I keep mulling over and re-reading.  I need to hear what God is saying in these verses.  I don't know if anyone else is really blessed by the Simply Sunday, but I know it is something that I need.  I am sorry if anyone came looking earlier and it wasn't there.  I will try to be more on top of things.  I have just been so tired from the lupus lately that lots of things are slipping by me. God bless.

A voice of one calling: "In the desert prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God.  Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it.  For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."
