Remembrance!!

I wasn't intending to publish this in my blog but then I thought maybe because of my story someone would be blessed by reading it and also the fact that Jesus takes care of us every day wherever we are.

It happened 2 years ago when i went out for shopping with mom and my sister. My mom had come to visit me and sis in our university and stayed in my sis hostel. We thought we'll go for shopping in the evening and as we were about to leave the hostel mom wanted us to pray. So we prayed to God to take care of us for the rest of the evening.We were having a nice time and sometime later i wanted to have an ice cream. I usually frequent this particular ice cream parlor and as i was about to reach there mom suddenly had a change of heart and wanted us to go back.
2 minutes away from that shop and we heard a big blast. I saw a big ring of smoke in the sky. At that time we weren't aware that it was a bomb planted by the terrorists. There were some people whose face were covered with blood. Some thought that it was a cylinder blast. Had people known that it was a bomb blast there would have been a stampede and we might have been lost/injured. Thankfully we got back home safely though i was quite worried for one lady who were asking the whereabouts of her friend. I still don't know what happened to her friend.When we came back my friend called us up and informed us about the blast. After hearing that we were so scared and at same time thankful to god for bringing us to safety.

The next morning when we woke up we saw the pictures of the blasts and i was horrified to see that it was the same ice cream parlor that i was about to go. Had i disobeyed my mom i wouldn't be here right now writing this.. Considering the fact that i'm a kind of a rebellious person and kind of stubborn i was surprised at how i readily agreed not to eat ice cream that day. That one act of obedience was what kept me alive; not only mine but my mom and sis's life as well.Indeed god's hand is never short enough. He's always there and am glad we prayed that day before we left.

As days passed i took granted of the fact that i was minutes away from death and never even testified about this incident. But today out of the blue i remembered the incident because it was during this month that it happened. I probably would never be able to forget this incident and wish never to so that it may serve as a constant reminder of how much god loved His children and that He's willing to do anything for us only if we lean on Him.
