A reminder to be careful what you wish for.

Some wonder how I can still look at these pictures. The answer: God. This is all part of my story and he is writing it. We lived. The girls with out a scratch and I had very minor cuts on my hands and a few small bruises and a little bit of glass in my eyes and mouth and of course the seat belt left a lovely hickey looking mark on my neck. We were saved. There is no doubt in my mind that he was there that day. I didn't hit another car. The girls were spared and we move on with our life. The person who stole my camera has not come forward. Yes I know they stole it...it wasn't lost in the accident because it was in a duffel bag where nothing else but my camera, camera charger and iphone charger are missing...no clothing no perfume or make up... just those items.I am sad for the loss of the memory card...not the camera or other items.

I found a generic iphone cord so I was able to load my iphone pictures and it works. We heard from the insurance company and hope to get things wrapped up quickly.

The windshield... well the glass was originally still attached but must have fallen at some point...proving to me that it was not fully intact because it buckled in the center... it was not glued in place correctly.

I know that much worse could have happened. My friend wrote on my facebook post that I am a "Billboard for Jesus" and a woman at Bible study said that she admired my faith and that I inspire her. I do not feel worthy of ANY of these comments. I am just human and thankful to be typing this.

I say becareful what you wish for because I tend to be a "negative nellie." Always wishing for something better... if you look back in my post I complain about my camera, my granny mobile, my old house. Look. I no longer have my camera... that though it had a cracked screen and worked best in sunlight... it worked. I no longer have my "granny mobile" or the "Lazy boy" on wheels as my husband and I called it. It was a good car, good to drive, good to ride it, big, safe and we were not upside down on it(just upside down in it, ha?)... all material things. I didn't like the camera becasue I thought it should take Better pictures, I didn't love the car because it was in my eyes "ugly."

My lesson. Be content with what you have... I know , I know people say this ALL the time but truely. Be content with what you have. because you never know. Material is just material and when that day comes God is not going to say " ok pick your top 5 items and bring them with you"

This is a lesson for me. TO try to be more positive. TO not keep wishing I had this or that which I know alll of us do. At some point I will be posting pictures of the girls again. At some point I will have another camera and another car. But I will only have one Lillian and one Joelle, One husband, one Daisy, One dad, One Mandy, Jessi, Bryana, Kelsie, Grandma... all my friends...that is what I need to focus on. Learn from me and my mistakes. Because we are living proof there is a God and his team of angels, I all but saw them that day, but I felt them. They were very much there and very REAL.
