there’s nothing like facing death to make you take stock of your life. Indeed, my world came to a screeching halt. Life – however briefly – was suddenly precious, my health precarious, and the future uncertain.
With contemplation and prayer, I’ve come to believe God spoke to me in those quiet solitary hours, urging me to count my many blessings, meditate upon His goodness, and showering me with His extraordinary grace.
...
Yet my life has changed significantly; each day feels like a gift, each encounter a unique experience, and I have intimate conversations with God every day.
“I am going the way of all the earth. Be strong and be a man! Keep the mandate of the Lord, your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, commands, ordinances, and decrees as they are written in the law of Moses, that you may succeed in whatever you do, and wherever you turn.” (1 Kings 2:2-3)
