Healing

We are healing well from the accident, emotionally as well as physically.  My black eye is quickly fading, which makes Clint really happy (hes been getting lots of hateful looks when we are together...).  I've had to explain a few times "He didn't hit me...we were in a car accident".  Prayers have been felt, and we are in the process of getting a new car...more on that another day ;)

A few days after the accident, we were in Walmart buying new car seats.  Clint looked up and froze.  "I think that's the guy that hit us."  There are over 250,000 people in Greensboro, and lo and behold...it was him.  We walked up to him.  He hugged me and told me he was sorry.  It was surreal.  Clint had lunch with him yesterday.  Surreal.

The Lord has been so gracious through all of this.  We have felt loved on and cared for like family from our homegroup at church.  Meals came every other day.  They took care of our kids the day of the accident.  They came to the hospital to pick us up.  The Church has rallied around us.  They have been such a picture of the Lord's provision and compassion.  Our families have (as always) been amazing.  We've received cards, calls, texts and tweets.  Friends came to visit that night. 

The Lord works in very powerful ways through His people, and especially through a body of believers.  I have never been more convinced of the power and influence of the Church.  We really are intended to work together as parts of the body.  Some fingers, some toes, some eyes, some a tongue.  And when you get to see it working together it is as marvelous as the human body.  Breathtaking if you will allow yourself to see it for what it is.
