Default Updat not all that great, need prayers.......

Hi ya'all...
I'm sorry first & formost for not being as active, life has been a whirlwind for me & my family..

First, husband's job is no longer, they downsized & the route he was doing is no longer, & since he's an "ndependent contrator" is not qualified for any unemployment or anything...

So, as this is going on, the facility that i was basically going to full time didn't need me anymore to work... I sign on with 2 other agencies, & about 3 weeks of struggling, i was able to pick up some shifts, although they were all kinds of crazy hours that i don't care for, its a shift=$$ right..
well, that's fine as i'm dragging constantly, but surviving...

wed i'm on my way into work, in terrible weather AGAIN & car accident is my fate!!!

I began to slide into the left lane towards some oncoming traffic, didn't want to hit them, so I swirved to the right & into a ditch i go, bagging my head in the process.. I open my door to get out & water comes GUSHING in!!! OMG i began to flip out!!!!! didn't know where the hell i was when talking to 911, didn't see anyone to help me out...
I jumped into the back seat of my pilot & opened the door, water continued to come in!!!!!!!!!!!!
PANIC MODE!!!!!! i screamed for someone to help me,,
I truly thought i was going to DIE!!!!

finally a lady coomes up toi the car, i throw my phone to her to tell them where i was, she took my belongings...
another guy jumps into the water & says "get on my shoulders!!!!!
WHO ME?????????? he started to slip in the water deeper so i pushed him out & told him i'll JUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!

on the count of three WITH A LEAP OF FAITH & GOD BY MY SIDE, i landing halfway on the bank!!!
All thanks to the Almighty, most forgiving God!!!!!

It was very much like a scene on rescue 911.

spent 4 days in the hospital with a concusion & fractured skull.

got home yesterday & my body is very sore!!

Please send prayers out for my family & me,
I have NO IDEA how in the world we will survive with NO INCOME...
But God will provide, inshaallah(if he wills)..

I love you all & miss you greatly .

Be safe.

LOL,

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Holy Crap! You just survived my worst nightmare! I won't hardly bring a bottle of water into my car, feeling that would just contribute to my ultimate demise! I exaggerate, but you get the idea.

I am so happy you are OK now. Hang in there, sister!
