My heart is very full right now. I just got back from Baby Whipple's Benefit Concert and its hard to put into words what is going on in my heart and mind right now.
This story is the best I can describe it.
When I was 17 and a senior in HS, I was heading to work in town one winter morning. It had rained alot overnight but was warmer early in the morning when I was driving so I thought the roads were fine.
I was running a bit late, and got stuck behind a van going aout 30 mph on a 55 road. After following them for alittle while, I got very impatient and decided to pass. I sped up to over 60 and passed them. As I turned my wheel to merge back into the lane, I hit a patch of ice and the whole vehicle started doing a 360 degree turn. IT turned several times, and I could see the look of horror on the faces of the people behind me as i turned.
Finally I quit spinning and my vehicle headed for the bean field. I was relieved for a second, untill I looked and realized I was headed straight for an electric pole, head on. I screamed to the Lord for help, and I watched in shock, as my vehicle went just a tiny bit to the right, away from the pole.
I landed in the bean field, and plowed it up turning several times. Finally my vehicle stopped and I was sitting in the field, looking at the pole from the opposite side as before. As I sat there crying, holding tightly to my wheel, I remember crying out my thanks to the Lord for saving me and asking "why God why? why did you save me?" It was like a little voice said to me "i'm not done with you yet.. I have something I want you to do.."
As the nine years have passed since then, I have forgotten about what that voice told me. I have lived my life, basically just for me especially the past few years. Yes I have walked with the Lord, but I have lost track of Glorifying him in everything I do, and looking for ways to serve him.
Tonight, at the concert, that voice spoke to me again. Its been in my heart for some time now that I would like to adopt once I get married and that was only solidifed tonight. But I can't help but feel there is something else God has for me to do. I feel that he wants me to make a difference in someone (s) life. I don't know who, I don't know where, when, why or how. But I do know that I will do whatever he calls me to. I have ignored that voice for too long and pushed it aside. Now that voice is all I pray and hope for.
Jesus Is INDEED COOL!!
