It’s Been Too Long
Sometimes it takes time for us to get our footing and find ourselves. Many of you know how time can just slip through our fingers.
Well, that is what has happened to me. We have had so much going on that wasn’t sure how to put it into words. I didn’t’ want to brag or sound like we have it all together when there was so much happening. I got overwhelmed and instead of just being honest and writing what was on my mind and heart I stopped altogether.
Now that doesn’t help anyone, does it? It surely didn’t help me. It made me feel like I didn’t know where I should start back up. Like do I tell you everything that has happened in the last 4 months or just start from right now?
Hummmmmmm………
Ok well, let me tell you briefly why I stopped writing and then maybe you will understand.
October 18th changed my friend’s lives forever. Their sweet Caroline was driving a UTV and she ran into a tree. This all happened at a very large double birthday party for her two little sisters Alice and Sammy.
Caroline was brought up by two amazing parents who through all of this relied on God’s provision and knew he was in control. This brought a calmness over them that the nurse and doctors questioned if they themselves were ok.
Caroline’s injuries were very serious and there were countless unknows. Would she be able to talk, walk and be the girl we all know? Only time would tell if she would be ok. In the accident, Caroline suffered from a major blow to her frontal lobe. She had emergency surgery for 6 hours. They used 23 screws and 5 plates to reconstruct her skull right above her right eye.
“I did question why this happened to me, but I knew that God is going to use this accident to tell the story of his love. Through it all I have embrace the fact that I don’t feel like me anymore and that ‘in God I am a new creation the olad has gone and the new has come’…2 Corinthians 5:17”
-Caroline
I thank God for such an amazing example of faith and love. People all over the world were praying all night for Caroline and her family.
We are so very thankful.
Even as I am typing this I question why this event stopped me from writing?
I didn’t want to write anything about what was going on with my family or the way I felt about the accident or what I did to help. It wasn’t about me, it was about Caroline and her love for Jesus.
