"Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can declare all His praise?" Psalm 106:1-2
Thanks to God:
Wow it seems like not time has past. A year ago today, I had a very major wreck in which I almost didn’t make it. I was hit by a pickup truck running over the speed limit which after he hit me we traveled thirty feet from where I got hit. After I got hit I was knocked out in the passenger side seat, thanks to God I don’t remember much about my wreck but I do remember a few things. The Monday before I had lost my job for something I didn’t do and then the next night I woke to find myself in the kitchen with a knife about to cut into my wrist. The next day I went to school and got into a fight with someone I thought to be my best friend. I had to leave school at 12:30pm to go to court with my Dad over problems that happen since my parents were separated. After we left the courthouse, we went back to Tractor Supply to get his truck while he was getting into his truck I went to leave to go back to the house so I could unload m car so Dad could use it to go through stuff at the trailer with my Mom. We got about two streets over from the place we were staying when I was leaving the stop sign when I got hit. All I can remember about the wreck is that I saw my Dad’s Mom, Dad, and a bright light. My Granny took my hand and told me that everything would be all right and my Granddad (whom I had only seen in pictures) said that I didn’t need to kill myself that I was needed. Well my Dad told me that he ran down to my car and shut the engine off and made sure I was ok. He said that when he got to me I had blood pouring from my mouth and I was gasping for air. He said that when he saw me he thought I was going to die like his Mom. The paramedics got there and one of Dad’s best friends jumps in the car. While they were trying to get me out I was fighting them to the point that if they tried to move me they would have hurt me worse. Philip, Dad’s friend, yelled my name and got me to calm down long enough to get me out of the car. After they got me out they gave me some medicine to make me sleep so I wouldn’t hurt myself. I got to the hospital and they said I had a fractured disk in my back, 3 fractured ribs, a fractured pelvis, and a big hole in my leg. There is a five day span that they only thing I remember is seeing my best friend Rachel and TJ. Dad told me that I would constantly ask about my car. I had a really bad time with depression during my stay in the hospital, but God pulled me through it. God is a truly forgiving God.
I just wanted to thank God for being the wonderful God that he is. If it were not for him then I wouldn’t be here to share my story. I am still trying to figure out why God saved me but I know that in his time he will let me know.

For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
