Hard News

I got a phone call last night from my mom about 10pm that my step dad and brother had been in a bad car accident and there was a chance my step dad had passed and brother Benji had been life-lined to Ft Wayne hospital. These facts were true and we are now in the Ft. Wayne hospital in the Ronald McDonald house. My brother Benji is doing great. He is now on his way to surgery for a foot fracture. He has several broken bones that are minor such as facial, finger, and arm. He has no internal damage and no brain injury. He just found out this morning that his dad didn't make it so he's very angry and upset because he feels like he caused it. His dad was bringing him back from Muncie because Benji had to come down a few weeks ago for a court date and Connie his dad was picking him back up to take him to Elkhart where Benji was staying to try and get his life back together.

We're praying as a family that God is able to get a hold of Benji and he would truely surrender his life to Him. I cherish all of your prayers. I am doing well and just trying to process all of this while staying calm for the baby inside of me. We're going on about 3 hours of sleep, but now have a nice bed and "house" to stay in as a family...save those pop tabs, we're benefiting HUGELY from what they go towards. We are staying here for free with all sorts of food, internet access, and space to be a family in a very hard time.

Matt is home with Grace and not sure how to take it all and worried about me and work. So, please just pray that we feel God's peace and trust in Him for each moment.

This is all we know so far, I'll keep updating the blog as the days come.
