Thank You God for Saving my Daughter
Permalink  

((((((((((((Friends)))))))))),

Last night I came into the meeting for a very short time to share the pain i was going thru with my daughter....

She was in a terrible car accident....she is doing well today, she has a fractured cheek bone and a terrible laceration over her eye....a plastic surgeon sutured the eye and she has to be checked in two to three weeks to see if she needs surgery.

By the grace of God she is still here with me today, the truck she was in rolled three times and she had to be cut out of the vehicle.....it was totaled.

So sometimes when we think the cloud is just to dark and we can can not handle anymore something in us makes us see the bigger picture.

Even though I spent 23 straight hours of hell fighting with drs to get my daughter the best care, having panic attacks and literally dropping to my knees begging God to save my daughter she is here she is alive.

And in the whole picture that is what counts......God spared my daughter....because that would have been more than I could have endured.....she has a daughter to raise, and a mother that needs her (me).

I guess my point is, life has been hell, I have been feeling like I have come to a point in my life where I have learned to just survive.

Today I am grateful and now know that I am doing much more than surviving....I still have my baby girl....a son that loves me and a g=daughter that well is just the most precious thing on earth.

So in all the hell I have been going thru lately I have found some peace today...I look at my daughter and tears just come to my eyes......she is still here....thank you God....

Thanks for the prayers.....thanks for being here......and for the first time in  a long time I thank God I am alive....I know her dad was sitting on her shoulder....he may not be  here in body but he is here in spirit......Life is a roller coaster ride that we just have to ride.....the good with the bad....and life is just that life....and it is something that today I have realized......I am alive......and by the grace of God my daughter is alive....So Dear God I thank you for carrying me thru this once again........

The Serenity Prayer was in my heart the whole time and helped  guide me thru...without that would I have made it?????   By the grace of God I will never know.......

Peace out,
Andrea

((((((Andrea))))))  I've alway heard that God never gives me more than I can handle.
I never know until HP and I are holding it up.

Happy for you and your family.   (((((hugs))))) smile

Just when you think things can't get much worse, something comes along to put it all the "stuff" in perspective. 

((((hugs)))) to both of you.

I am so sorry you have had to go through this.  What an absolute nightmare your life has been over the past few years.  I do not know where you get the strength from but you are an inspiration to me.  My prayers are with you and your daughter.

Maresie.

((((Andrea)))),

I am so sorry this happened to your daughter.  I am keeping your entire family in my prayers as always.  I am sure Chuck and Tim are looking over your daughter doing some extra work up there.  You are a strong woman with a strong family.  We have your back.  Sending you extra love and blessings to all of you.

Live strong,
