"A Blessing In Disguise"

After the car accident I was in 10 days ago, my friends, relatives, church family, and even people I wasn't really close to- all wished me their blessings and prayed that God would bless me through this difficult time. Many sent get well cards, text messages, picture messages, called, or brought flowers to encourage and lift up my spirits. One thing that was common in a lot of those messages was the content. No, I'm not talking about the "Get Well!" part of the message or the "Hope you feel better soon!" (although that was very encouraging!) many used phrases such as; "God is trying to do His will in your life", "God is Sovereign", "God is Good", "God uses sickness and accidents as Blessings in disguise", and many others along the same lines.
...I'm not sure if the people who wrote that-did it because it sounded good, because that's what you usually write on a card to a sick person, or because they really truly understood the deep meaning behind those words and meant it. (I hope it's the last one, but in no way do I judge the other reasons).

Throughout these past 10 days, I can't even begin to explain all the thoughts that went through my mind or all the feeling that I felt. One thing that I want to confirm is this, those phrases written on those cards are true indeed. God is Absolutely Sovereign, Good, Merciful, Kind, Loving, and He IS doing His will in my life. This accident has truly been "a blessing in disguise".

Words can't describe those blessings I've received, and how much lessons God is teaching me. My life has changed. I'll never be the same, that person whom I once was. Through this event, God's speaking to my soul. Continuously, day by day... He's molding me and shaping me to be more like the light that I'm supposed to be- one that reflects His image...my character, my attitude, my pride, my dignity and my self ego- all this the Lord is breaking down so there'd be room for humbleness, respect, more love, and kindness. I can't image how much more the Lord's prepared for me, those little simple lessons- the one's we tend to skip right through each day- until of course were faced with them directly.

My heart is filled with joy and happiness yet more and more throughout this time of painful trials...I know that this has truly been...a blessing in disguise!

And I would never take back time to make a different turn on that dark intersection...for this has been a right turn in my life, one that has lead me to the greener pastures.

*Thanks to everyone who took part in the prayers and support! I do believe that they are what keep me going day by day, knowing that God hears our prayers. And may God deeply bless you in return for blessing me with your encouragements along the way. May God bless you, your families, your futures, and may He shower you with those "blessings in disguise" that can effect your life forever.
