Giving Thanks

So yesterday i received one of those calls that everyone fears, " allyson you need to get to the hospital Sherrill has been in a wreck". Sherrill is my step dad whom Ive been on the outs with since Jan. of 09. My boyfriend and i use to work for him in the rigging industry before the economy fell through the floor. Because of business and money Sherrill was mad at Josh and I took sides with Josh which has created a divisions between me and them. I felt pushed away and have not been close with Sherrill for a long time. I love my biological father Troy very much and live with him now but my step dad sherrill is who really made an impression on who i am today. Anyway I got the call while substituting at BCA, a private Christian school. The ladies there could not have been anymore helpful. I am so thankful and privileged to work with good christian women. Cindy, Lindsey, Deborah, Becky, Robin and many more all came to my aid and I thank God for what he does to his followers to make them so caring and compassionate. Once i got off work and on the road i passed my stepdads car on the interstate. A tow truck had it up on the back with the front of the veichle facing backwards. There was no front, it looked like he had hit a transfer truck. Once i got to the hospital the Dr. told me that he had blacked out while driving. He was in the 2nd most inner lane and when he blacked out the car went right straight into the trees. But he was ok! After seeing the car and hearing what i happened i could not believe he was even talking. A miracle, God was protecting my stepdad, theres no if, ans, or buts about it. I truly believe that God put a shield around him during the crash. He said the dash came in on him and the radio which is normally to the right in front of you was beside him. Parts of the engine and motor were where the passenger seat should have been and then the vehicle caught fire while he was trapped inside.
wow can you image? I am thanking God my Father right here and now! Thank you Lord for protecting him!
After all was said and done sherrill had 6 fractured ribs, cuts and liaisons all over him and 7 stitches in his elbow. Speaking of the elbow i watched them sow it up, wow that was like something off of life in the er.
After spending all day with Sherrill he said to me that he was glad to have the family back together. It's sad that it took something this scary to get everyone back together but I am soo thankful that God protected him and brought my family back. I love Sherrill and I love Josh and i didn't want to marry someone that my family resented. Ive seen what that does and I didn't want it to be my life. Also Sherrill and my mom have been out of church for a good while now and last night they said the next Sunday no matter what they would be in Church! Thank the Lord and Hallelujah!!
