This past week was our Spring Break here at college, and a few of us decided to go to Canada to visit a friend. We were all extremely excited! Our friend is attending a school of Ministry and while there we went to a few of her classes with her. An amazing school!
So we headed out Friday afternoon..........our plan was to drive through the night to get there. At about midnight though we got in a car accident. We were driving and our tires must have hit an ice patch because we started slipping while attempting to pass a semi. We ended up slamming the front passenger part of the car into the semi and then somehow bouncing back and slamming the back passenger part of the car into the semi. And then we began spinning and ended up going backwards into the ditch on the side of the road. One of the girls in the car screamed Jesus extremely loud, and we pretty much instantly stopped! It was so awesome, part of me wishes I could have seen what was going on in the spiritual realm at that point I can just picture a huge angel putting his hand out and stopping our car! Another awesome thing was before we got in the accident, one of the girls was sleeping but while she was sleeping she kept hearing seat belt but she kept ignoring it. But she finally woke up enough to put it on and not 5 minutes later we got in the accident. If that is not the Lord's protection over us that night I don't know what is! There is no way we should have come out of that accident as good as we did, the Lord protected us! We all had no injuries really. The car was rather damaged on the outside, still ran perfectly fine! Just was a little cold to drive with a few broken windows but we got going several hours later!
Then we rented a car and headed to Canada! I learned so much from the Lord this past week I am still processing it all! One of the huge things I learned is to realize that the Lord's presence is always with us all we have to do is recognize Him. We spend so much time striving to encounter the Lord, basically seeking out our own will. Where all the Lord is looking for us to do is press in to Him, lean on Him and let His will be done. Once we learn to just lean on Him there is no way we can deny His presence! He longs to meet with us, He is just waiting for us to acknowledge Him! Another thing I learned is how to let the Holy Spirit lead, it is pretty cool when you are talking about something and it is something the Lord really wants you to know, you can feel His presence rest on you. And if you stay on that topic, it just clicks in your spirit where as if you were to keep going you would not remember or understand as much. It is amazing how much more you are able to learn and understand when you all the Lord to guide what you talk about.
The enemy is out kill, steal, and destroy! That ticks me off like no other! All he wants is to hold us back from what the Lord has called us to! It frustrates me how much he can grab a hold of people, he does it to me all the time. But we have to realize the authority the Lord has given us, we have the authority to tell the enemy to go and leave us alone! But grasping a hold of the fact that we do have that authority given to us by the Lord can be hard to remember. That is one thing I am learning to step out in, the authority I have been given to fight the enemy. That also involves making our mind take the back seat, because the enemy loves to grab a hold of our thoughts and take control but if we are being led by the spirit and not our mind he no place to grab a hold of.
Yea that is a bunch of random things that has been on my heart lately......
It amazes me how much the Lord truly cares! How great His unfailing love truly is! Nothing can change any of that! His hand of protection is always over us, His angels are with is every moment protecting us! That is an amazing thought in itself! The Lord is faithful!!!!!!!!!!!
