The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalm 18:2

These past few days seem like we have heard nothing but bad news, so many young lives taken so quickly. So tragic...and so real that life can change in a instant.

For me it was all to real.

Monday Morning started out for me as a normal day but then everything changed in just a few seconds. I was taking Seth to Preschool and the roads were very slushy and slick, before I knew it my back end was sliding side ways, I started to slide from one side of the road to the other until I did a complete circle and landed in the ditch, I went through a fence and into some trees. So thankful there was no on coming traffic.

After I caught my breath and made sure Seth was ok...I just sat there stunned and very thankful that our van took the beating and not us.

As I was waiting for the police to come, I heard about the bad accident that took the life of a young girl earlier that morning. My heart ached for the family but also felt guilt as I was able to walk away from mine but God chose to take her.

So today I hug my kiddos just a little longer, kiss there sweet cheeks...and tell my dear husband, whom I take for granted way to often...how much I love him and what he means to me.

Praying that i never have to experience again what I did on Monday morning....very scary!!!

Thanking God for protecting Seth and I .

Lord, please help me to never take another day for granted.

Quote from Seth on Monday:

After we made a complete stop in the ditch, the first words out of Seth's mouth.

"Mom, this is how dad pulls me on the inner-tube!!"

His eyes were huge and he was so serious.
