A quick update and then a journal entry from Michelle’s point of view of accident
Oh my.. yes..praise the Lord michelle and Todd have a great sense of humor. Michelle was going through some pictures on her phone today and found this one. This was the last picture she took on her phone before the accident. They had taken the youth from our church bowling and this was in front of the sportsman warehouse. Do you see what is behind them. This was hours before their accident. Ironic huh! 🙂 (you can giggle.. we did to!)
So the patients are all doing about the same today. Todd’s swelling has seemed to go down some, but he is in such a great amount of pain. Please continue to pray for the pain.. and for him as being STILL is very hard for him. Hope still in alot of pain and very fussy– but oh so cute. And Alex.. still running high energy all the way.
Here’s Chell holding Baby hope all snug as a bug today.
Michelle asked me to type out her journal entry today for this blog. She wanted you to see from her perspective. It is a mixture of a prayer/journal entry. Warning– tissues may be needed.
This is it, unedited. My sister is an amazing person
Wow. There aren’t even words to say. I can’t begin to put into words. This time last week was the longest worst night of my life.. a wonderful youth event.. a fun time bowling. Coming home with David, Hope, Alex Todd and I… Why that time? Why right then? Just in time for a deer to come sailing through our window. This time last week I can hear myself scream. I can hear those awful sounds… felt this huge pressure of a deer on me.. feel disoriented.. can’t see- because my glasses are knocked off. Can see Hope’s carseat completely upside down. Hear Todd moaning and screaming. Hear David say, their is blood all over Todd. Seeing Todd pouring blood.
Calling 911– I’m trapped– we are trapped– because there is a huge deer on me.
Helping get Hope out. Her White as a ghost. Not looking at me, her eyes vacant. Alex sitting in His seat wide eyed and brave. Trying to find out if everyone is ok.
Not wanting to get near Todd. Afraid of what I would see. Riding in ambulance– hearing them say — we’ve upgraded to emergency status. Getting there.
Them whisking Todd away.
Hope sitting in her car seat– glassy eyed… not focusing.. she looked dead.
Alex on a back board.
Trying to be calm
Covered in deer blood and deer fur.
Burning itchy face.
O Jesus redeem these memories. Jesus I don’t know why.
BUT
I have seen your face. I have seen your faithfulness. I have seen you give supernatural Proverbs 31 woman strength I never know I had. I know you heard me say Jesus Jesus Jesus and you moved.
I know you took care of Hope.
I know your hand of protection protected Alex.
You sat them where they were supposed to sit.
Words do not really do Justice to all this. This experience to what happened. I honestly have no idea what you (God ) have in mind for all of this. Oh Jesus my year of WILD FAITH has tested me. Has challenged every belief I have ever had. I haven’t even had time to ask why– why does my dad have a rare form of leukemia? Why does my husband have to suffer? Why were we coming home from all things– a youth bowing trip which I planned?
Why do I have to live with the picture of my baby upside down in her car seat? Completely white, not responding to me or the image of my brave little boy– eyes as wide as saucers seeing stuff a 4 year old should never see.
I don’t know why.. but in my journey of wild faith this year– Jesus has never left me. He has held my hand. He upheld me. Given this girl more supernatural strength then I know I had. Given me the strength to take one more step. When I was living on a total of 5 hours of sleeping a week– He held me. When my baby girl wouldn’t stop throwing up all over me and the docs didn’t know why– He held me.
Seeing my husband in ICU on a breathing tube unable to respond– he held me.
Wild Faith
That no matter what the lover of my soul would hold me.
Jesus held me when my little boy said Mommy I thought I would never see my daddy again…
o Jesus you have upheld me. You have loved me.
You have given me strength– let me cry.. let me ask why
This is a journey I will continue to be on. My physical spiritual and emotional healing is needed. Right now I am numb just trying to place our life back to normal. Trying to mother a very energetic 4 year old, who has seen more then a 4 year old should.. take care of a husband in pain who lives Jesus more then anyone I now– and a baby who right now requires constant pain meds…
And I am so overwhelmed on this journey by the response of the body of Christ. I do not deserve the acts of love and serve that has been poured out onto our family.
Thank you Lord
There you go folks. That is the journey of a mama with wild faith! (don’t forget that was michelles account )
WHAT faith! I'm in awe and so touched by your sister's white-knuckled grasp on God and His love. I will keep praying.
