O Lord, You are a shield around me

I had never really known what it was like for God to really control my life and feel it until yesterday. On the way home from work a mini van tried to turn into a gas station from a busy highway from the middle lane on my side of the highway. I happened to be coming up beside them on their right so they turned into my car while I was still going pretty fast and they had some speed too. God definitely took over and during the wreck as we were bouncing around, was probably the calmest I have ever been. They knocked us off the road into a shrubbery area where we were inches from hitting a telephone pole. We ran over all the bushes and some box thing connected to the ground. We pulled over into a parking lot and thankfully everyone had their seatbelt on and was okay. It quickly lead to tears as Jennifer called the police and ambulances and fire trucks showed up. Unfortunately, the other car ran off and so it's a hit and run on my insurance. It's not listed as my fault but hopefully insurance can cover most of it. The gas station where it happened has film to catch the car and there were several witnesses to the scene. One made a statement with the police. Some of the guys we work with were on the way home but a few miles back. I called them and they pulled over to meet us. It was very serving of them to come be with us make sure that we are alright. My car window won't roll down and I honestly can't explain how it didn't bust except God's grace. My side mirror was ripped completely off and my hubcap exploded everywhere. The driver door won't open completely but I was able to drive home. The policeman cut a piece off under my tire that was blocking my steering but it still crunches when I drive. The boys followed us back to project and the police went to go find the car that hit us. They were leaking a lot and witnesses said their tire was busted so they couldn't go far. God had his hand on us today. Praising him for his might and power and love!!

Here are some pictures of my car:
