Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

Our house had a run in with the neighbors car...literally.

On Wednesday this week I was at work when I got a phone call from my neighbor saying that their car rolled down their driveway into my house.  This is what I came home to....



This is the inside after the emergency contractors came to stabalize our house.  Keep in mind our bedroom is just above the garage.


From inside you can see the 2X4's the put to hold the house up.

Bent rail for our garage door.


The outside.  Take not of where our garage should be...even with the bricks.

Now you can see it.


I am so very thankful for God's hedge of protection on our lives.  A definite reminder that he prompts us to make decisions in order to keep us safe.  I work on Monday's EVERY week.  This week I had a meeting on Wednesday so I changed my schedule.  The meeting was canceled but I decided to head on to work anyways.  If I had been home my car would've been hit as well.  Brian had been home just 10 minutes prior to this accident to get Collins some medicine to take to school.  EVERY afternoon Caden and Addison play outside in the driveway while I cook dinner and they wait on Brian to get home.   The basketball goal was also destroyed. Had it been an afternoon I shudder at the thought of what could have happened.  God is good...all the time!
