Here is the old van. Most of you know that January 13th a deer hit and annihilated our mini-van. Just a few days later on the 17th we rolled our 15-Passenger on the interstate. Praise the Lord not one of the 6 children in the van or me sustained any injuries. Why did this happen? I can guess and imagine and try to figure it out but it happened and we have had to live and deal with it. I can guess my impatience was the reason for the roll-over although I was driving safely at the time my mind was screaming "we're late, we're late!" I can think that God was refining us even more, asking us to turn to Him and trust Him. I can think Satan was testing us, trying to get us to turn from the Lord and all His goodness. All I know is that we had to rely on the Lord and turn to Him for strength because we couldn't change what had happened. As much as I would like to go back and have this van because I really, really liked it. I like the color and the striping, the comfort of the seats, the clean interior. I can only go forward.
