Sometimes there is NO question about who's in charge...

It seems like sometimes God whispers, sometimes He hollers, and sometimes He slaps us in the face, so to speak. After being out of town for two days, I log on to facebook for the first time since Friday and see a notable picture next to a friend's name. The caption says something like this, "Single car wreck on the interstate, tire blew, flipped three times, happened just before crossing the county line. Everyone's ok, (and here's where it really got me) baby didn't even have a scratch." This isn't their car, I didn't want to "steal" the image, but this is a similar picture:

There were four people in this car, my friend, her husband, her mother, and her sweet baby who will turn one later on this summer. From what I understand, the mother was unhurt, my friend and her husband needed a total of five stitches for minor cuts, and the baby didn't have a scratch, bump, or bruise. There was no head trauma, no major lacerations, no broken bones. Talk about a miracle. All I keep thinking about is how God had his hands all over this family, for there's really no other explanation for how they all walked away from this.

Little Man and I were in a bad car wreck last June, not half as bad as this one, but bad enough that I don't want to have an experience like that again. Learning of my friend's accident brought back all the memories. I remember the sheer terror that lasted for a few seconds after realizing that we had been in a bad wreck and knowing that my baby was strapped in the back seat. I was also four months pregnant with Baby Girl, and was so worried about her. It seemed to take such a loooonngg time for the doctors to check us both out, and I was so wound up and worried until all the tests came back and we were both deemed to be okay. To this day I feel like it was only by the grace of God that we weren't seriously hurt.

Like I said, sometimes God whispers "I'm here, believe in Me." Sometimes He hollers it out loud, and sometimes, like here, there's a circumstance where we can see, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that He's always with us.
