When I first saw the picture I thought no way that person survived. Great to hear the driver did.
God was with the driver of the car but he is unable to stop them from texting and driving. Just glad the driver is going to be ok.
I personally know the driver, She’s a older woman. She was not on her phone I can garante you that
I actually ran into this accident on my way to church yesterday, and had to take a detour. When I saw the car, I immediately thought the worse. I said a prayer for all involved and thought, God is able to do things that I cannot comprehend. This is a classic example. He’s able! So glad to hear the driver of the car was not severely hurt.
Amen to what you said about God.
Carol crazy thing the door didn’t go further in because a Bible that was perfectly in tact was held between the door and the middle console
This is God just doing another miracle! This sister from my church had just left church early that morning because we had an early Sunday Prayer going on. God is good at all times.
