“The good thing you need to know is that if we had slept on that bus, we would have all been stuck in the back and we would have died today. Yesterday, we would have died yesterday.”
He added, “So it was a blessing that we had a boom. It was a blessing. So today, no matter how frustrated you are, realize that everything is a blessing. God works in mysterious ways.”
