Zach Williams has a song out called, “There was Jesus” and part of the lyrics go, “Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces”. Well those lyrics are rather true for me right now. I fractured my radius and ulna this afternoon, yet, despite the pain, I couldn’t help but say, “Thank you Lord that I have a good vehicle to get to the hospital in.” “Thank you Lord that it was me and not someone else having to go through it right then (as in other family members or friends)”. “Thank you Lord that if it had to happen that I can go ahead and get it over with.” I am also thankful that I had somebody there to drive me to the hospital. When we got to see the doctor and get the x-ray we found out that my bones were only fractured and that I would not need surgery. I should be good with about six weeks or so in a cast if everything goes normal. It can be hard to look at the positives in a situation like this, trust me I know. I had a tournament scheduled for tomorrow then another for the following weekend as well, then I have hunting season coming up. However, even though I cannot go prepare for season as I normally would, I can still be getting ready in another way. I can be studying more so that when I do get to climb up my treestand I can trust that God will provide a deer when He sees fit, as well as to remember to enjoy His creation, from the squirrels to the birds and hopefully some deer. God has a plan and even when the road is bumpy, God still makes the road straight and gives His grace that will be sufficient. “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9. His power is truly made perfect in weakness, in our weakness as God is not weak. I know that He caught me or sent an angel to catch me when I fell today, because it could have been a lot worse. God Bless!
