Supernatural Exits

There are certain things you go through that once you are on the other side, you will never be the same and you will not be able to help or stop the change in you. Once you go into labor and have a baby, you will forever be a mother. It does not matter if the baby survives, if you don't keep him or her, if it hates you from that day forward. You will still, with no hope of reprieve, be a mother. Once an appendage is amputated, no matter how many prosthesis you are fitted for or how many chairs you roll in, you will forever be without that limb. Likewise there are some encounters with God that will forever change you. Once you come out on the other side, you will not have a chance to go back. You and those around you will know that God has touched your life. A lions' den experience. A red sea moment. You will know that your survival had nothing to do with anything but Him. The mere fact that you are walking out of a smoking building, it being engulfed in flames is a shout to the world that God reigns. How can it be? they will say. How is it possible?, they should have been dead!...but God. The timbers are burning up around me. My lungs are singeing with acidic soot. I am in the fiery furnace and yet I know that I am on auto pilot. I will run on and see what the end will be. I have a ton of cliches to fit here, but what I want to impart is that I will be used for God's purpose and it seems its as I will be if I like it or not. So I'm trying to stop flailing about, and just float with Him.
