March 3, 2009 – Still in Control… March 3, 2009

Good Morning. A week ago I was involved in a collision. I was driving along when I noticed traffic ahead of me slowing. I attempted to stop and nothing happened. I was no longer in control of my car! I immediately asked God to protect me because at that point a crash was inevitable. There were three options for me. I could run off into the ravine to the right of me but I didn’t know if I would ever stop falling, I could hit the cars coming towards me to the left of me but the impact would probably kill me, or I could hit the cars directly in front of me and pray the impact doesn’t hurt too bad. I shifted my car into neutral and slowly applied the parking brake to slow my speed. I’d remembered hearing instructions on what to do in the event of a brake failure so I immediately applied the word that was given me so many years ago. I did crash…it did hurt…but God kept me. I equate life to a car. For the most part we are able to navigate our lives. We fuel it when necessary. We maintain it by going to visit our doctors and therapists. We care for it by keeping it clean and healthy. However, sometimes our brakes fail. We get into situations and circumstances where a crash is inevitable but thank God for His words of wisdom to soften the blow.We have a choice to go off the deep end by following sin but we don’t know when or if we’ll ever stop falling. We can veer to the left but who knows what lies ahead? Or we can stay on the path provided for us and face the fact that even if we fall our God will pick us right back up.   Not every time were in trouble will God prevent us from falling on our face, but I thank Him for being able to pick me up when I fall. Don’t you?

I was right at the edge of a break through but couldn’t see it. The devil really had me, but Jesus came and grabbed me, and He held me close, so I wouldn’t let go. God’s mercy kept me, so I wouldn’t let go. CHORUS So I’m here to day because God kept me I’m A live today only because of His grace Oh He kept me, God kept me He kept me, so I wouldn’t let go I almost let go. I felt like I just couldn’t take life anymore. My problems had me bound, depression weighed me down, but God held me close so I wouldn’t let go. God’s mercy kept me, so I wouldn’t let go. God kept me, He kept me God kept me, He kept me So I’m here to day because God kept me I’m alive today only because of His grace Oh He kept me, God kept me He kept me, so I wouldn’t let go You didn’t know how far gone I was God kept me

From The Desk of Lady Doss…

Scripture to Remember…     Isaiah 66: 12-13 God’s Message:    ”I’ll pour robust well-being into her like a river,     the glory of nations like a river in flood. You’ll nurse at her breasts,     nestle in her bosom,     and be bounced on her knees. As a mother comforts her child,     so I’ll comfort you.     You will be comforted in Jerusalem.”

See? Could’ve been worse right??? You’d think Satan would leave me a lone but he just wont quit. Good thing my Daddy loves me and already won the battle. Have a wonderfully blessed day today…  I’m praying for you…   In Him,   Lady Doss “If you knew what I was going to be after the fire… you wouldn’t have bothered me.”  ~ Lady Doss to The Devil ~
