I'm about to say something that may be controversial. Ok, are you ready?
God is alive. His Holy Spirit lives and breaths within us. He has angels that are fighting an unseen battle all around us. He has imparted spiritual gifts to each of his followers, that when obedient and faithful, can bring about tremendous fruit. He tells His believers to pray, and that when we pray, things will happen.
This past Tuesday was like any other day at the Boardstore and Kai Coffee bar. People were milling around the shop, and Sean Naus (Kai's owner) was hanging out with Seth (his good friend and current barista). He had his whole family there- wife, year old son, and month old daughter. For the past 10 days Sean had been fasting, and had just ended it, not really satisfied with the lack of revelation that he got.
...Meanwhile, my good friend Pete had gotten off work early, and was planning on meeting Seth at Kai Coffee to catch up. He got held up doing other things and wasn't able to make it...
As Sean, his family, and Seth stood inside the coffee bar, the next turn of events happened in a split second.
The Boardstore and Kai Coffee are part of one unit situated on the corner of a busy road. As the group was talking, Sean looked up and watched in horror as a silver suv was coming directly at the front of the coffee bar. There was another car waiting to pull out onto the road, and the silver suv hit the back of the car, causing it to change its course and make it go slightly to the left of the coffee bar.
In a matter of seconds, Sean grabbed his son Elijah, as his wife Emily turned with her daughter cradled in her arms just as a huge board crashed almost right into her. Seth was only inches away from the car is it came into the building. Everyone, even the driver, came out of the accident with minor cuts and bruises. Out of the family, only Elijah had a cut on his ear.
Apparently the driver was just coming out of cancer treatment, and had blacked out when she was driving.
My friends looked death in the face on Tuesday, and yet are walking, talking, and laughing only days later. To say that this is pure luck would be a tremendously sad and blind understatement. Every little thing, from Sean fasting, Pete getting held up after work, the car hitting the other car as it came towards the shop, were all part of God's plan.
Myself and my friends here believe that God completely works all things together for the good of those who love Him. I have a feeling that through all the media and talk that has come out of this accident, glory will be given to Him and His message will go forth.

My God is a God of miracles. He is alive-and He loves us.
