Before you read this, know I'M OKAY.

Yesterday, Saturday, I was in a car wreck. A pretty bad one. I was stopped on the highway and was rear ended by someone going over 60 mph. I had to go to the hospital and spent several hours there.

I don't remember the wreck other than there was a man leaning in my window asking what hurt I said "My back! OH MY GOSH MY BACK HURTS!" He told everything would be okay, I was going to be fine. And I instantly felt peace.

The other driver said as soon as I got hit the drive and her passenger (They both walked away from the wreck. Praise Jesus!) ran on of their car and saw a man in a blue shirt leaning in my window talking to me. She said there was no way anyone could have beat them to the car, and there wasn't another car stopped yet. They said he only talked to me for a few seconds and walked away and they could not find him again. I'm sure he was an angel. Call it cheesy, but I'm sticking to it.

I don't remember my time in the hospital other than people holding my hand and different faces flashing above my head. I didn't like the CAT scan, it was so loud. I had to pee really bad and they didn't do anything about that for a while. I was also really thirsty but they couldn't give me anything to drink because they thought I needed surgery. I also remember the nurse getting mad because so many people came to visit me.

But I was only in the hospital for a few hours! PRAISE THE LORD. My parents took me to their house for the next few days until we are sure I'm doing good and can return to school.

I appreciate all the prayers. I honestly don't think I would be doing this good if it wasn't for all of them. I ask that you continue to pray for a quick recovery and all the insurance stuff goes smoothly.

I can't tell you enough how much everyone's love has meant. I read through my facebook comments, posts, and all my texts and am always brought to tears. I'm not sure why He let so many wonderful people love me. But I'm forever grateful for that.

Here's my car now!




If you were at the hospital with me please feel free to tell me what I was saying and what all was happening. I have heard some funny stories so far, please keep them coming! :]

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers...

Today there has been some pretty bad storms going on all around me. For a while  I stood on my front porch and watched the rain and listened to the thunder. I watched little caterpillars crawling across the cement trying to get out of the rain.

I was reminded of great big God is. It blew me away.I mean He created the massive storm. He created the caterpillars. He created everything. He is so big He can hold the ENTIRE universe in the palm of his hand. And still He loves me. Blows. My. Mind.

Here are some verses to read, dwell on, soak in.


When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
    and the son of man that you care for him? 
Psalm 8:3-4


34 
“Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
    that a flood of waters may cover you?
35 
Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go
    and say to you, ‘Here we are’? 
Job 38: 34-35



Man. Our God is good.


In other news 72 Hours of Prayer started last night. For those who don't know, we as a BSM are praying for our campus for a full 72 hours. It started Monday at 7 pm and ends Thursday at 7 pm.We are out near the library with some tents, chairs, and a table. People can walk up and write down their requests be prayed for at the moment and then for the rest of the time we are out there. (Their requests go into a jar and people are constantly praying for them.)
