We're finally in Florida after driving straight through the night, I'm settling in *yawn*, and I'm determined to NOT stress myself out with my "Things I Need to Get Done on Break" list.
God's timing never ceases to amaze me...my sister, my best friend, and I had planned to visit my grandparents over Spring Break, but our vacation became a trip of necessity after my grandfather was hit by a car while riding his bike a couple weeks ago. I'm so grateful that I have this week off so we can help my grandparents out (and squeeze in some sun time too!). As devastating as this accident has been, the Lord's hand is evident in my Pap's life, and it's just another reminder that all of our days are numbered. Kissing my grandfather on the cheek this evening was a moment that I won't take for granted again.
The last couple weeks have been a very real reminder of this fact. Freak accidents and "wrong-place-wrong-time" events have left me feeling very small and vulnerable...and very, very aware of how Great He is. My own arrogance amazes me at times...how I can walk through my life as if it's my own, as if who I am is a result of my own strength. I'm driven to my knees daily, crying out for His grace and mercy, that He would not treat me as I deserve. Truly, "how great You are, how small I am, how awesome is Your mighty hand..."
