Goosebumps

My hands are shaking a bit as I even write this. My mom called me this morning to tell me that my brother and sister had been in a bad car accident. My heart sank....she said they were okay...but that they left at 4 a.m. to head to Iowa from Colorado...and my sister must have dozed off like 3 hours from home. They think they rolled FIVE times....and they landed hanging upside down. I can't even imagine this. We LOVE you Kyle and Kara and it is KILLING me to not be with you right now! I am so incredibly grateful to God for protecting them. It really makes you stop and think about the importance of life...and why it should be celebrated. I couldn't think of a more perfect weekend to celebrate Cory's birthday...and Addy, Emily, and Hailey's birthday. Life is just too short and too precious. Such an incredible GIFT. Please praise God with my family today.... Kyle and Kara have cuts and scrapes and bruises...and they landed in a field of cacti...so they are STILL picking cactus out of their bodies. But, what a miracle...I still can't believe it. They didn't hit any other cars...they have no serious injuries...my parents are still in Denver to help pick them up (as my parents are coming here tomorrow!!) I just saw the car pictures too...and my heart literally stopped. It totally looks like their guardian angels were protecting the roof from crashing in on them. I am speechless and have had goose bumps all day!!!! Thank YOU Jesus for always being with us!!!!!

Exodus 9:16 "I have let you live for this reason - that you might see my power and that my fame might spread throughout the earth."

Psalm 40:2 "He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire. He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand."

The girls were so concerned when I hung up the phone with my mom and they saw me crying. I told them Uncle Kyle and Auntie Kara were in a car accident and that they got hurt. They kept saying "Kaawwaa oww-ies....Ky-ooo oww-ies." So we folded our hands and prayed for both of them cuz the girls know that Jesus helps. :) So sweet...
