Goodness I hadn't heard this story. There are so many similarities to our own tragedy and the aftermath (in Indiana too ha, but not 65). Our camper van caught fire due to a lithium battery on the way to vacation and we had only minutes until we watched everything go up in flames on the side of the road. We finally drove by the very spot for the first time a few months ago, and it is was a weird experience. But boy how God has used that in our lives.
It's just a reminder of the way our God employs even darkness for his good will.
Wow! So sorry about your experience. That's magnitudes worse than mine, to be sure. But yes, it is helpful to be reminded of how God works through difficulties and brokenness. Thank you for sharing.
The details you include in your story made me feel like I was stuck in that upside-down passenger seat with you.
Some experiences take a lot of time to process, and I appreciated this peek into how you view your accident ten years later. Thank you for sharing this. It has me pondering a few of my own experiences and how valuable it might be for me to write about them (if only for my own eyes).
What a story of God’s miraculous intervention in your lives. And yes God does use it for good in our lives no matter how difficult the aftermath. I totaled my car. Involved just me on a snowy Interstate. Slid off, hit a small tree, and landed down in the deep snow of the median. At almost 60 yrs old, I miraculously climbed out the back window, stood on the trunk of the car shouting at the top of my lungs “I’m alive I’m alive Thank you Jesus!” People up on the Interstate looked puzzled and shouted are you ok, get away from your car, so I jumped into knee deep snow, and they came and helped me. God and each day are so much more precious to me ever since that day. It’s amazing how much God cares for each one of us!
