I tend to forget that He sees everything. All of us. All at once. But, today, I was reminded that God is in control and that he is watching out for us.
Just a about 2 hours ago, I was on my way to the pool to swim with Aron when I heard a loud pop. It sounded almost like gunfire! I was only driving 20 MPH and slowed down to 2 in an instant. I asked Aron if he was OK and looked around to see what could have made that sound. Then I saw it in my rear-view-"mommy mirror".
Someone was weed-eating their yard a few houses back and had kicked up a rock. That rock hit and shattered my back driver's side window. This window was right behind where Aron was sitting. My heart stopped. I immediately rolled down my window and flagged down the van behind me to see if the driver behind me saw what happened. She had already started to pull around me, unaware of the reason I had pulled over. ( I must have looked insane!)She waved and almost kept going, until we recognized eachother. The driver of that van was a former neighbor of mine.
I won't bore you with the details of an insurance claim, but I will tell you this: Had God not been watching, that rock could have hit my baby. And had that friendly, sweet, former-neighbor of mine not stopped I would probably still be sitting there on the side of the road with my heart in my throat.
"..I will be with you, and I will protect you wherever you go." Genesis 28:15

We were in Flagstaff a few months ago and when I was pulling out of Wendy's late at night I heard a thump. Long story short...my spare tire under my car fell out (the wire cable snapped). Later I was thinking how horrible it could have been...driving to Flagstaff going 80 mph-hitting a car behind us, killing someone...It was a blessing and miracle that it happened going 10 mph at a Wendy's!
I would have been hysterical. that' was a close call. Glad everyone is okay.
Oh praise God that you recognized the other driver and that your baby is okay. I'd have pulled over and shook for an hour or so myself. Hope everything goes smoothly with the insurance. That was certainly an uncontrolled happening.
So glad you are both safe Lori - He is always watching over us!
Wow...thank God! He is always watching out for us...no doubt about that! I am so glad that you guys are okay!!!
Hey Lori, Praise the Lord that no one was hurt! Hope it all went well with the insurance. I am not very high tech, I keep forgetting about your blog. Looks like you had a very fun vacation! Hope to see you soon. Love ya!
Amen, He is with us. Glad little Aron did not get hurt, it is amazing what damage weed eaters are capable of, I have had a rock hit the back of my car as I was driving once.
Praise God that he is with us everywhere we go!
