It was something hubs already enjoyed so it's great that we now both enjoy doing it together. We've done quite a bit lately in our travels. If you find a cool looking globe...

Of course, my battle with cancer this past year is my most recent example. Things could have been far, far worse. God is so good to me.

In 2008, I was driving home when a van pulled out of a side street to my left, just as I was passing by, about to T-bone me in my drivers door. I turned the steering wheel to the right, looked ahead and saw a large oak tree I was headed straight for, so I turned the steering wheel more to the right, barely missing the oak tree, an orange tree, and stopped when my car hit the back wall of a house, where no one was home, and no one was in the backyard. The woman driving the van was charged, and I was uninjured. I know I couldn't have steered my car around two trees on my own, Jesus obviously took the wheel. He is with me always, protecting me from many accidents I'm sure, praise His Holy Name. Many blessings to you!beth willis miller's bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854449798070643671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-25159818317687650042016-05-15T04:21:00.155-07:002016-05-15T04:21:00.155-07:00Happy Birthday to you!Happy Birthday to you!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035008312943297731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-23205818115429166062016-05-14T13:09:01.763-07:002016-05-14T13:09:01.763-07:00So thankful for God's hand of protection in ou...So thankful for God's hand of protection in our lives.

My van slid/skidded off the road (going backwards) and continued turning up a hill. I landed just over the crest of the hill and could not open the driver's door. I crawled out the other side and saw I was in the one spot for 50' in either direction maybe where there was a short little guardrail, which prevented the van from rolling down the steep hill.<br />2) On my 3rd and last pregnancy, early on I started bleeding one night at work. While waiting for the Dr in the ER, I surrendered to God's will and immediately felt peaceful. Now, my daughter is 13 years old.<br />3) When she was a couple days old, I had some people from my church come in to give her a blessing, right in the NICU. Immediately, she began to improve and we were able to take her home after only 22 days (about half the time we were told to expect, and only weighing 4 lbs. They said she was healthy enough and they needed the space!<br /><br />Thanks for bringing these memories back to me today, Sharon. Have a great weekend!<br /><br />Here's my <a href="http://backporchervations.blogspot.com/2016/05/friday-bookish-post-may-13-2016.html" rel="nofollow">Friendship Friday</a> post.LuAnn @ BackPorchervationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775630749079885915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-44815475497009167242016-05-13T10:05:45.749-07:002016-05-13T10:05:45.749-07:00Ouch!

I know how it feels, but I know the feeling of the surreal nature of accidents and the sovereign hands of God directing His angels to keep us from getting to banged up. <br /><br />I was ran over by a 6,000 pound forklift... limped away.<br /><br />Last year my wife and I were riding bikes up and down the coast and lost each other on PCH. My wife was hit by a car in a 50 mph zone. A witness saw her bike spin through the air, crash, and skid across the intersection. The driver prayed with her... she barely had a couple of scrapes... <br /><br />Miracles are real and they happen everyday. Thanks for the reminder of how we're supposed to see this world. <br /><br />How I love your stories... thanks for the practical application through your pain, sister.

I'm so sorry to hear you took a dive into the concrete. :( I know you will be sore for some time to come, but, as you stated, it could have been so much worse. I'm praying for a speedy recovery, sweet friend. <br /><br />Ironically, just today, while helping The Man clean out the garage, I decided to hop on the bike we bought for our daughter recently. She's a few inches taller, but not that much. However, the seat was so high I almost took a tumble myself, which would not have gone over well in these parts. I did the smart thing and scratched the whole idea. All I need is a broken bone at my age. <br /><br />I loved this post and your thoughts, as always.Dayle ~ A Collection of Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727194212928446402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-72938760363407927062016-05-10T20:51:12.014-07:002016-05-10T20:51:12.014-07:00I am reading this again in the morning....please t...I am reading this again in the morning....please tell me I didn't miss your birthday..ugh!Anita Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581280313136512145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-12206732390403073832016-05-10T17:55:47.100-07:002016-05-10T17:55:47.100-07:00Oh my, I am so sorry.

I saw one on sale at Target this week. I can relate to some of the things you said. I fell at the show last week. One minute up next one down. I got up right away and I was okay but it really bothered me. At first I thought, this is not who I am. I'm not the old lady who falls down!!!
