There are moments when life forces us to slow down. I have been sick these past few days, still recovering from chest pain, UTI, and LBM. Even so, I pushed myself to drive because I needed to buy supplies for our store. I was with my friend who helps manage the business. I thought I was already okay. I thought I could handle it.
On our way, I was about to make a U-turn when something unexpected happened. Instead of turning properly, I suddenly drove straight ahead and pressed the wrong pedal. Everything happened so fast. Thankfully, I was able to steer the car away just in time. The only thing I hit was a plant outside a house. The car suffered only minor scratches, and the uprooted plant was the biggest casualty of the incident.
But after it happened, I could not move for a while. I was shaken. My body froze from fear and shock. In that moment, I realized how quickly things could have turned worse. And yet, God protected us.
Sometimes, Godβs presence is not seen in grand miracles or dramatic signs. Sometimes, His presence is found in the accidents that never fully happened. In the moments when danger could have become tragedy, but somehow, mercy stepped in first.
Today reminded me of an important lesson: never force yourself to drive when your body is still weak and recovering. No task, no errand, and no responsibility is worth risking your life or the lives of others.
God is truly present every single day β even in moments when we are not fully aware of what we are doing. Even in our weakness. Even in our mistakes. His goodness continues to cover us.
And today, I am simply grateful that we are safe.
