Psalm 39: 4-7
"LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away.
My life is no longer than the width of my hand.(Imagine that yes i just looked down at my hand and well thats not very big when you think about it.)
An entire lifetime is just a moment to you; human existence is but a breath.
We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth for someone else to spend. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope?
MY ONLY HOPE IS IN YOU!"

Well the Lord certainly reminded me of this last thursday as i was on my way to the church to meet up with a girl to talk thru 1 timothy. Its kind of crazy cause i never go through red lights on my bike. But for some reason on this day I thought i could quickly make it through the yellow very very soon to be red light. But no. But thankfully the guy who hit me was not travelling at a very very high speed. But i got hit on my right side and knocked me off my bike. As soon as i got knocked down i quickly got up to avoid getting hit again. Amazingly only by Gods protecting hand i did not hit my head and only have bruised ribs. The ladies that saw it happen wanted to call an ambulance but i pleaded with them not to i hate hate ambulances and have never been in one before. and this was not going to be the first and i could move my arms and legs so i thought it was a bit over the top. So i gave my number and address to the guy so the insurance could pay for his side mirror. then i kept walking to the church still in shock. i wasnt feeling so bad so i waited til after i was done meeting her to tell kristian. he didnt appreciate that so much that i waited a few hours to tell him what happened. now i know to call the husband first he was so sweet though and had taken great care of me. the pain didnt come til later that day it hurt everytime i laughed and took a deep breath. so the next day i went to get checked out at the doctor. i am so so so greatful for Gods protecting hand. I have never experienced Gods protection over my physical life like that before. I am thankful that even though i had to learn the hard way God had his hand on my life. God's grace over our stupidity whether it be going through a red light or our sin is so huge.
The past few days i have been a little more content with all the little things we can sometimes take for granted and just enjoyed life a bit more. Like just relaxing making dinner for my honey and me, walking a bit more slowly (cause it hurts if i breath too hard) down the street, but its been kind of nice walking in the hope of life God has given.
Hope you all can walk in that HOPE today too without being hit by a car to teach it to you. Never thought i was so thick skulled that i had to learn things the hard way but maybe i did this time.
