wow.......I opened this box up to ask for prayers for something else.......and my husband calls to say our newly-left-for-college daughter has been in a car accident.

She is okay...and it seems like this is not her fault. I guess an air conditioner flew out of the back of a truck and she hit it because there was not time to do anything els. She told my husband that every airbag inflated and she thinks they saved her life.

In the meantime......I am sure her confidence will be affected.....please pray for her emotional & mental health.....we just bought this car for her to use.......pray the insurance covers it well and that it is fixable.....she needs to get to class....please pray that works out well.

oh, and the children home are worried......please pray for peace for them......

And, for some other intentions I must keep private.......but please pray for wisdom! It is so needed.

I feel sick......I was already feeling sick this morning from something else.....and this is exactly why I want my children never to drive, ever.    yikes.

oh, I just realized....two other relatives were in car accidents this summer.....hope this is it!

Thanks my friends....all of your intentions are in my Rosary novena.

UPDATE:

Thank you for the prayers...you are all so fast and so faithful.

Though she did not need to go by ambulance anywhere.....we are going to have her go to an emergency room to get checked out as she has chest pain and back pain....which are probably to be expected. She has had her arnica and rescue remedy.....she was a good girl and tok her arnica right away...it was in her purse.....I guess we know where she gets that from

please pray she is fine......I am sure this will add negatively to the chronic problems she already has....unfortunately.

She is living with my sister and dh, who were at work...and my dad was baby-sitting their kids....and all three have been working together......including leaving work to go help her. That is a blessing, esp to see them all take such loving care of her.

My sister and her husband are extremely angry at the guy with the air conditioner because just last month on the same freeway, a family of three died when the car in front of them had a dresser drawer fly out of the back of a truck.

It makes me sick to think how people put others lives at risk, as if there is no value on their lives.

The car, at this point, looks fixable but very $$$......hopefully his insurance will cover it. Pray the insurance company finds the car of good value! It will be $2,000 alone for each airbag to be replaced...x2.

okay...that is it for now...on to those delayed math lessons......

oh, I meant to ask last time.....pleas epray for my husband...this is going to cause him serious stress...when he is already under serious stress.

love,

Chari,

Usually when airbags deploy, the car is written off. They won't pay to fix, just give you the amount for the car.

Praying for you all.

Oh,Chari, please give Anne our love and let her know that our prayers are with her for a complete recovery! Thanks be to God that her angel was guarding her from further harm. Prayers for you and your dh, too, in this stressful situation.

Praying her aches and pains will be fleeting and not of lasting consequence. Adding prayers for your dh, and for all your intentions!

Prayers coming from the big town south of you. Glad to hear she isn't seriously hurt. Our babies grow up so fast it's almost scary! I dread the day that 'Dangerous'Dan (now 11) gets his licence . Praying for all of your intentions, Chari.

Chari, my dh and I just returned from errands and were talking about needing to get our dd a car for college soon . Needless to say, your PR hits close to home and we will pray mightily for all of your intentions.

Love,
