This yellow leaf floated down from the sky before my eyes. It came to rest, pierced by the thin branchlet of another tree and hung like an ornament over the path. I love seeing wonders like this unfold. Who would think that a leaf from one tree would end up in the embrace of another?
Who would think that the Creator of our universe would see me falling and reach out His hand to save me? Yes, there have certainly been times when I’ve fallen flat but He caught me then, too.
One winter I slipped on ice and violently fell to the concrete, hitting my face on a metal edge on the way down. I needed stitches and had a concussion that left me terribly sensitive to light and sound. A year after the fall I complained to my doctor that I was still having bad affects so she sent me for testing. The test didn’t find any sign of my fall but it did discover two brain aneurysms. I ended up in Johns Hopkins aneurysm center, one of the top in the nation, and had an incredible experience as they fixed the arteries in my brain over the course of six months.
It is so important that I trust God and stay in faith with Him every step. It is important that I do not draw conclusions about my situation too quickly, but stay in faith with God until He shows me His plan. I had a bad fall but He caught me just the same.
Though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the lord upholds him with His hand. Psalm 37:24
