But the Lord...


Last night my Mom and I needed to make a trip to Michael's craft store. She came to pick me up and as usual she pulled up in the driveway and got out of the car so I could drive. I get in the car and start to adjust myself to put my seatbelt on and she is getting in the passenger's side when the next thing I know the car is moving FORWARD!!! It all happened in the blink of an eye! 






I think I was in shock for a few seconds. Then my immediate thoughts went to where's my Mom??? I jump out of the car to find my Mom on the ground between her car and our Crown Vic. I start asking her if she's okay in which she responds that she is but I'm thinking how could she be??? She was bleeding from her head and laying flat on her back. I go back around to the drivers side and honk the horn. Katy comes out, calls 911 with the voice of my Mom in the background saying she's okay. Needless to say they came, checked her out and she sent them on their way. She's one tough Chickasaw woman!!! 
Looking back on the events that took place last night and even today. I can't begin to explain how grateful I am for the Lord granting protection over her. For He tells us in Psalm 91:11-12  "For He shall give His angels charge over you. To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone."  I truly believe that an angel of the Lord beared her up and placed her out of harms way. 
Things like garage doors, cars, houses can be replaced. My Mom never could be.....
