One of my fears came true today!

I've always said that I hope I am never on the phone w/ someone when they get in a car accident. Well, that fear came true today. My friend was on her way back from the gym, and had called me to tell me how her grandma was doing (poor lady is in her 90's fell last night and broke her hip and shattered her pelvis!!) Anyway, we are talking, la-de-da....then all of a sudden there was a shattering noise, my friend screeming 2 times, then the phone went dead!

At first, I thought maybe she hit an animal or something. She is very sensitive that way. So I called her back, and as I was leaving her a message, she called me back. All in a panic, screaming, crying, rambling on something about glass, face, scared and needs her husband! I was able to calm her down enough to make sure she was okay. I asked if there was anyone around her that was able to call the police. She said yes, but was crying hystaricly (duh! I would be too). She told me that a tree had falling on her windshield and shattered glass all over her face. My friend is 7 1/2 months pregnant w/ their 3rd child (first boy) so naturally she was concerned about the baby. I told her I would call her husband, and get him to the hospital as soon as I could.

Only problem was that he was at home w/ her kids and their daycare kids (she runs a daycare too) and that I couldn't drive to their house, because I'm full (6 kids no room for them all in my car. So I called her hubby, told him what happend.

I just spoke w/ them, my friend is alright, but has masive amounts of glass in her face and cuts herself every time they try to remove it. Such a tragady. Praise God she and the baby are going to be okay!!! Just so darn scary!!!!!! There has been so much drama in this gals life. A few months ago, her mother fell off a horse and is now a quadroplegic (sp?), then w/ her grandmother breaking her hip last night and now this....WOW!

I would have to say that in the last 3 months my life has seen so much sadness and sorrow, hard times and all. I've found out of a couple of people that I knew once apon a time, have passed away. This drama w/ my friend, and another friends friend being killed when a tree he was triming fell and crushed him to death and with my uncle passing away, I honestly can't take any more sadness. I need happy good times again. I was looking at pictures last might before I went to bed. Of when Nate was a little guy (3-4 yrs old) how care free life was. I know that all these emotions are around us every day, but its really overwhelming right in the now. Know what I mean?

I'm just thankful that I am filled by Gods peace and the holy spirit!!! I can now see why those who are not saved may fall into depression, drug use, alcoholizm...yada yada yada! Life's tuff!

Anyway, just had to get that off my chest. Hope ya'll are having a good day! Be blessed, Becky
