Van Collision

This is the result of a collision that the kids and I were in last Thursday. We were on our way home from writing class and a young, teenage driver cut in front of me and then slammed on his brakes. (we have later come to find out that even though this wasn't my "fault", it is my fault!! Because I hit HIM, it is my fault, regardless of the circumstances. ) Other than the insurance ramifications, I don't really care whose "fault" it was - it was not an experience I want to repeat!

God was so good though - within 10 seconds of the crash, two policemen (who were right there at the time of the crash) were at our window checking on us, telling me they had already called the tow truck, and telling me what to do next. I felt completely helpless and would not have known what to do if they hadn't been right there. I also was driving a carpool so I had another child with me - NOT a fun call to make - "by the way, I have your child and we have just been in an accident"!! I called Danny, and he made that call for me...

In the end, the kids thought it was a fun adventure!! Crashing, riding in the tow truck to Starbucks where they got a special drink , all the attention from the police, and getting to miss their next class!! (we were on our way to art)

We are currently without a vehicle and hoping to line up a rental for me to drive. The van had a lot of damage but was not totalled, as we originally thought.

Thank you, Lord, for protecting us!!!
