What's going on!!!!!!!

There are series of events that led to this day, and they are something to be put down in writting.
As you know that I had burnt myself volunteering at the seed, I love that place and I'm still going there very saturday to help out in the kitchen. After my burn, I got really sick during my birthday, so I spent it in my room drinking tea and soups. I had gotten this chest infection from the gymn that I go to work out every Tuesday night a few days before my birthday. When my birthday came along I was well underway in coughing and my fever was high and quite a few nose bleeds. I have never had soo much blood come out of my nose before. I told myself if I coughed up blood then I would take myself to the doctor. Thankfully that didn't happen and I was able to overcome the virus.
I was still under recovery when pastor Jonathan Overland (Grace Lutheran Church) from Okotoks called me on thursday night to preach for him on Sunday the 25th of this month. That sunday I had other things to do in the church that I'm involved with but I told him we will see what we can do. In the end it worked out for me to take his place because he had to to go a meeting down in the states and he didn't have anybody to preach for him.
After preaching, and feeling really tired I wanted to go home and sleep but Irys (my friend) wanted to go hiking in Kananaskas. I refuse of course but she insisted soo much and I gave in. It was Irys, Davyda (Irys' daughter) Bibianne (Irys' mother), Jonathan and Ray (Irys' friends) that went out hiking. and after about 30min of hiking we climbed down to the half frozen river and I sat on a rock, Bibanne sat behind me. About 5min of sitting a rock the size of a man's head fell from a cliff behind us missing Bibianne's head and hitting the top part of my elbow. I was in shock and that was gushing out of my arm. So to make the long story short, Irys rushed me to the hospital (at 170km/hr) and thankfully they took me in quickly, after some x-rays nothing was broken, to which I thank God very much. All I had to get was 6 stitches and some pain medication.
I believe that this is not just a freak accident, I know what I'm doing here in Canada, reaching people, teaching and preaching is making an impact (sometimes it seems soo ever slowly) and the devil doesn't like it. I believe that God prevented my arm from being broken because I'm in his service and so are my arms, and I'm grateful and thankful to Him always for protecting me and healing me.
