Not trying to sound melodramatic, but had a brush with severe injury or perhaps death Friday afternoon. As I was crossing a street, I had the walk sign, a delivery truck started its right turn and came about a foot away from hitting me.
A woman from New Breath, the Ukrainian church I help, was walking to her bus stop and saw the whole thing. It startled her. Out of concern, she walked across the street with me when I had the walk signal again. She wanted to make sure I was okay.
So in a matter of a few minutes, I had a real life example of the meaning of when Paul wrote in Philippians 1:21-24:
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
So though the delivery truck guys were laughing at me and driving off, God showed up through a woman who has heard me preach, seen me help at the church to show me he is not done with me yet. Jesus gave me a reminder that he has more for me to do in this life.
So I wil continue to serve Jesus at New Breath, at my home church First Free, and anywhere else he leads me. But I won’t buy any furniture from 7 Day Furniture.
Thank you for reading, God Bless.
