We won't be able to go:{ But the Lord Jesus knows what's best. Though we don't understand why things happen we just have to trust that HE knows what's best.
I remember, in February 2008 we wanted to go to a fundraiser dinner, at our church, for Christmas For Christ. It was at night, but my husband had to work that night. So, he was off work in the morning. Good thing Praise God! Our 2 year old daughter went to go throw something away, she knew that their was a garbage can in our bathroom, I thought she'd see the big garbage bag next to the bathroom. But she went to the bathroom, and she fell and hit her forehead on the toilet. It was bleeding and the cut was very deep. We have 1 vehicle and so it's good that my husband was home, otherwise she could have died or went into a coma while we waited for my husband to get home from work. An ambulance will normally only take the patient and 1 other person max.; well, we have 5 kids total plus it wouldv'e been me. We called two people to ask them to pray for her, because she was bleeding and started falling asleep. After that, her bleeding stopped. We drove to the hospital, about 20 minutes away, and it was snowing out so we couldn't go faster, but the LORD Jesus Christ held the snow for the last 1/2 mile or so (those seconds that we got to the hospital sooner could've meant life or death/coma). I am so thankful the LORD JESUS CHRIST worked that all out and did not allow her to go into a coma or die. (The doctors said it's natural after a head injury to fall asleep and it's fine, the problem occurs when the person doesn't wake up. Ummm I don't want to risk it. My husband and I know of kids who hit their head and fell asleep and are still in comas. One child was about 18months-sick with a fever and she fell on the hard floor-that was over 4 years ago-the only way she communicates is by crying and she drinks from a bottle-she's about 7years old now).
I remember, a few months ago, my husband barely had any sleep the night before he went to work. Our LORD JESUS CHRIST gave him the strength to endure his day at work. He was about to leave and he felt led to sit down at the desk for a few minutes. Then he got up and came home. On his way home, a bad accident had just happened, a few minutes before he approached that intersection (we only live 10-15min. from his work and that was at about the halfway point). We have a minivan and the vehicle that was in the wreck was a MINIVAN. I think they had to use the jaws of life to get the person out of the minivan. That literally could've been my husband if God wasn't protecting him.
Though we're dissappointed that we're not able to go, we definitely know that JESUS CHRIST knows what's best.
So may the LORD JESUS CHRIST bless us and our readers to remember:if we're trying to get somewhere and we're late or not able to go somewhere, God knows what's best.
But maybe it's the LORD JESUS CHRIST'S WILL FOR YOU TO GO...Here's a letter from Jan
