Vehicles

Eric and I are looking for a new vehicle. Not because we want to, no! Because we have to. Sunday we were in an accident. A 64 year old man fell asleep and came into our lane. We couldn't quite make it far enough out of the way for him to miss us, and the Corsica is totaled. But praise the Lord! No one was hurt. The man had his airbag go off, yet he had not bruises, burns, cuts or anything from it. None of us were hurt in the slightest. God was definitely looking out for all of us because so much else could have happened.
We test drove a vehicle last night, and I think Eric is in love. It would be the perfect thing, if we were looking because we want to look. However, because we have to look, they are going to have to come down a bit for us to be able to "drive that one away today!" :) Pray for a great deal on a vehicle, and pray for a good settlement from insurance, and that Eric and I will have wisdom in making a decision. But mostly Praise the Lord for watching over us!!

Prayer Request

Please pray for Wade Ragar. He was in first grade when I was a first grade teacher's aide. He's now just finishing seventh grade. His dad was going to go hunting with a friend and decided not to, however he left his gun loaded. Wade and a friend were playing with it and the friend accidentally shot Wade in the head. He lived, however it hit him in the right side of the brain, and the left side of his body might be permanently paralyzed. Please pray for the families of both boys who will be dealing with what if questions and the anger, pain, and sadness this has caused, and also for healing for Wade. This boy was a pretty special kid to me.
