A Topsy Turvy Weekend~ Our Son is Alive

Good day, beautiful friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and Labor Day. I have been busy preparing for our vacation. We leave on Wednesday and will be away for quite a while. I will not have internet access very much. But when I get back, I will be so happy to share our adventures.

 This weekend was a very challenging one. I will always try to share joy and positivity in this little space BUT I do think authenticity is important. I want to share a miracle and how my mama's heart is so thankful. 

This verse hits close to home Sunday. We had a busy weekend preparing for church and for our long vacation. In the middle of that, we had planned a family day on Sunday following church. We had all kinds of yummy food planned and a special movie time with all our young adult kids and their significant others. I got up Sunday morning around 6:15 to begin cooking and to get ready stuff before church. I had to lead worship and be at church early. It was just one of those BLESSED but BUSY "planned" days. 

I got a phone call from our youngest son (he is a prodigal) and it was at 6:38 a.m. while I was cooking.  I knew something was wrong instantly. He had been in a wreck. He didn't really know what happened fully.  He had ended up in a parking lot but didn't know how he even got there. He wasn't sure when he had the wreck, he just knew that his head and face hurt very bad and his car was damaged. He says he feels he remembers running into a concrete barrier on his driver's side, but he said it was very vague. Nobody else was involved or hurt. No other vehicles either. We believe he fell asleep. 

To keep this post short.... IF IT WASN'T for the GRACE, MERCY, PATIENCE, GOD'S PROTECTION, MAMA'S PRAYERS, GOD's DEEP LOVE, DADDY's PRAYERS, FASTING, and HIS WINGS COVERING our youngest son, we know that I could be writing a different post. 

Our minds and hearts are in so many places right now. There was much more to the story and the hardship we had to endure that is related to this, but to respect the privacy of our son, I will not go any further. I will say I PRAISE the LORD for His love and patience with our son. I praise Him because I know he hears my husband's and my prayers. His siblings had to go through a lot this weekend, knowing this could have been a tragic thing. Our family and our children are very close. So, it was a very upsetting weekend. One thing I do believe it did was give a little wake-up call to our son. Which was needed. Please be in prayer for him. His name is Kyle. He is an amazing beyond talented individual. I have faith the Lord will lead Him back to Him. 

Thank you for understanding my lack of posting over the past few days. It may be sporadic until I return from vacation. I will be honest, we have really been worried about leaving with the current situation. But it really isn't a way to cancel. We have made sure he is safe and his older siblings are in their early and mid 20's so we know they are available for him locally 24/7.

I hope to tag in tomorrow!!! 

With Love,
