Yet Another Miracle...

Last night we were enjoying a fun time with Brian's sister Lisa and our friend Ben.  We were just about to finish a nice fondue dinner when probably one of the strangest (and scariest) things I have experienced happened.  We heard a loud noise and the whole house lurched.  Much to our dismay and horror we found that a drunk driver had smashed into our house...into Benjamin's room!  Here is the "miracle" part.  Benjamin usually sleeps until 6:30-7pm.  This accident occurred at 6:45.  Though the car didn't go through the wall, it punched it in and knocked the changing table across the room, pushed the freezer (yes, Benjamin is roomates with an upright freezer) out a couple feet  and sent some plants, pictures and other items flying.  We could have easily been standing at the changing table or Benjamin could have been sleeping in his crib and received the scare of a lifetime.  We are praising Jesus because this particular evening Benjamin would not stay asleep. I ended up getting him up from his nap early and I was holding my sweet boy in my arms in a safe place at the time of the crash.  
The driver hit her head pretty hard, but she was able to get out of the car and was taken to the hospital.  Please pray for her healing - both physically and spiritually. As for our house...it will need some work.  Ok, it will need quite a bit of work.  We are waiting to get a full assessment of the damage, but it sounds like they will need to do some pretty exensive work and we might be without use of our house for a time.  Now we are buried with insurance, contractors, and all the sorts of things that come with this sort of thing.  Yikes.
