Yesterday, Megan and Seavie, some of our good friends from our old church and small group in Kansas stopped by yesterday on their way to Texas for a wedding. It was Megan's best friend's wedding and they needed to be there for the rehearsal dinner, but we were on the way to Texas, so they wanted to stop and spend an hour or so with us on their way there.
So yeah, they make it to Enid and to our street for that matter, and when they make the turn off of VanBuren onto Elm {whammo}, they are hit by a van, cursed out by the drivers who called an ambulance all the while cursing Megan and Seavie even though they were the ones driving in the wrong lane, and then Megan and Seavie realized their car was totalled.{Welcome to Enid, the home we love, populated by the nicest people we know...they happened to meet the two in town who did not fit that description} Totalled. Their car that was paid off. Their smart Dave Ramsey purchase with liability insurance only. Great plan, until you need a new car.
We are in the same boat so we understand.
We are in the same boat so we understand.
So, we sent out a cry for help to our church family to help our friends get to Texas. There is only one car rental place here and they weren't positive they'd have a car for them yesterday evening and James car is on the fritz and in need of repair, so we did what we are called to do...humbled ourselves and asked for help. An awesome family in our church stepped up right away and I wasn't surprised...God takes care of his people. But I was overwhelmingly happy that something good could come out of this tragedy. So I can't thank them enough. They are Jesus' hands and feet and if Jesus had a car, He'd have loaned it to the Adams to get to Texas too. I am convinced.
So, uh uh {clearing my throat of the lump caught in it} when it rains, well you know, it pours. I just got a text from Megan saying her grandma is in Tulsa in congestive heart failure and not expected to make it. A grandma she adores as much as I adored my grandma Shelby. Why? Why this weekend? I pray that she'll make it to Tulsa to visit with her in time. I pray for healing and for time...His timing is always perfect, but it rarely seems that way to us until after the fact. If she needs a ride to Tulsa tomorrow, you better believe I will get her there in a hurry, just as soon as they get back here from Texas to deliver our friends' car back to them.
If you stopped by our bloggity blog today, please pray for the Adams family. Megan and Seavie, not the creepy ones. Pray for swift and safe travels and for her grandmother. Thanks friends and fam.
