Marvelous Musings

Heather over at "Needles and Pens" asked of me this tag. Brought back a lot of dear memories.



Marvelous Musings

Here are the rules (though I'm not actually following them to the letter):

1. In your post include a link back to the person who has tagged you.
2. Post one of your intriguing, or shocking, or challenging passage of scripture from the Bible showing scripture references (chapter and verse) with Bible version.
3. (Optional) You may choose to state what you currently understand it to mean. You may also encourage others to comment or share on what they understand that excerpt to mean.
4. Tag at least 5 or more new people to participate.

There are actually two that flow together in my mind, unless there is a third that I have been yet unable to locate.

2 Chronicles 18:9
For the eyes of the Lord move two and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.
it continues...you have acted foolishly and now you will have wars.
Ezekiel 23: 30
..."and I searched for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land , that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.
New American Standard.

I so strongly remember reading this or the one that I am thinking of and saying "here I am God"

Many, many events happened after that prayer.
One event was five years ago, while doing errands collecting gifts for an adopted family at Christmastime.
Check out the flag.
It says "wise men still seek Him"
This car was hit by another car going in access of 120 mph the trunk opened with a key. Non of the gifts for the needy family were even broken. The impact lifted this car and turned 180* laying it down in the middle of the intersection. It was in a far right hand lane at the light.
The other car was thrown just off course and came to rest at the curb with the drivers side tires against the curb. Feet before impacting many people at the gas punps.
I was at my second to the last stop and I heard in my spirit. " your going to be in a car accident" and I knew it was my Father Gods voice....I thanked him that he took such good care of me and just forgot all about it. I floated through the last visit as my friends commented how I was so "high" in Joy. then I left the place. Moments later my car was hit by a guy who fell asleep at the wheel. 120+ mph. My car was used to save the lives of many children on one side at a tree lot, and many many families on the other corner who were pumping gas.
It put me out for 9 months may have played a part in the brain trauma, but it saved lives and it led another man who was my therapist to a knowledge of Christ. "he said" I have met only less than a hand full of people who showed Christ in their lives, you are the only one who is among them who is not my religion". He was within a religion that was without Grace.

It inconvenienced my family terribly, It cost us thousands of dollars (that were all provided).
It caused many Christian who loved me to question God and his divinity.
It honored me. Now you may think the hardest part was all the pain, or perhaps the brain injury...The difficulty that I watched my children and family go through.
No
The hardest part was the lack of understanding around me that what I experienced was a privilege. It was the most gracious gift I have ever been given. For lives that would of been snuffed out by fire were save.

When I was a child and saw the life of my friend snuffed out by fire (murdered)I was morally, spiritually wounded beyond any understanding.
Knowing that lives were saved from this fate at my temporary sacrifice is but a tribute to restoration.

A few months before that event I was asked by a prompting to go, go now...I went to Mr U and told him ...He said Go obey it...
I did so and by nights end I was holding the head of a fellow who was struck on a motorcycle right in front of me as I idled up to an intersection. I was first on scene. I had a cell phone that Mr U.'s folks had given me just a couple of days before. I held this head of a dead man who came back to life as I called him. Later many people throughout the evening were touched by God's love and mercy. Later his very Mother sat across the his bed, at hospital and wept as I read to her Psalm 91. She told me that it was what she had prayed for her son every day. The siblings were met in the parking lot as God showed me who they were and as I took courage to approach them They met God.
You see to whom much is given much is required.

There have been two other significant events like these...

Courage...
after the loss of the 9 months of my life as I knew it. The inconvenience it caused my children and family and the wounds of those who had their faith so shaken. It is not as lightly that I say "here I am"...

I grieve that.

How I loved being there in that realm with Him here on this earth.
It is the sweetest jewel ever to be found the greatest treasure ever to be known.
