"Isa 42:6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness,
and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee...."

FRIDAY AFTERNOON
And so it is that I thank my God for his protection over me. I am writing to share with you that I was in a car accident this past Friday afternoon, driving from South Carolina to North Carolina, where I was on my way to spend the evening with my brother and his family before heading to Virginia Saturday morning.
Still unclear to all involved was why two cars had stopped in the right hand lane and not on the shoulder; yet the car in front of me had managed to stop behind them. However, in the few seconds I had to either get off on the shoulder or go into the moving left lane, the delay brought the impact and the accident
was not able to be avoided.

NO ONE INJURED
With much thankfulness to the protection of the Lord, no one was hurt. The first two cars quickly left and I managed to get out of the car through the window. The driver of the car in front of me exchanged information with me and within a few minutes of the accident there were officers on the scene. I was able to contact my brother and he came out to assist me.

I did go to the emergency room on Saturday to have an x-ray done to affirm there were no internal problems. The x-ray showed that everything looked good and I was prescribed pain medication.

EVALUATE THE DAMAGE
On Monday, someone from my insurance company will come out to evaluate the damage on the car and discern whether it is worth repairing. As it is not necessary for me to be there, my brother will represent me instead. My parents have come down to South Carolina (Saturday) and we will go back up together to Virginia today. My meeting scheduled for today (August 8th) has been cancelled but I have been asked reschedule to a later date.

CONTINUED PRAYERS!
I am feeling pretty well and am greatly grateful for how the Lord protected all involved. Thank you for praying for me. Please continue to do so and I seek to pursue this path of service for our Lord.
In Christ,
