The Month of July


Oh My Goodness! Where do I even begin! The month of July has been so busy for all of us we have been going non-stop but it has been alot of fun and we have enjoyed every second of it.... We started off the Month with a trip to Florida, my family owns a place in Blue Mountain Beach and it is beautiful.. Its right on the beach so we do not have far to walk, out the door a few steps to the stairs and there it is,beautiful white sandy beaches and crystal clear different shades of blue water, it is breath talking it is so pretty... We were there for 10 days and enjoyed everyday that we were there!! On our way we experienced something incredible and we knew without a doubt that God was with us!! We left around 5:30 in the afternoon and decided to drive all night, it was fun and exhausting at the same time.. Anyway I guess it was about 11:30p.m. and we were somewhere in between Baton Rouge,Louisiana and Hammond,Louisiana the truck in front of us lost control and started swerving all over the interstate and then totally lost control and flipped 3 times and went down into the embankment... We pulled over and immediately called 911 had no idea where we were but Chuck jumps out and is going to help of course me and the boys were yelling be careful because #1 we had no idea what he would see and #2 the car was smoking bad! well he gets as close as he could and is yelling Can you hear me, Help is on the way and out pops a guy who looked to be in his early 20s and Chuck kept asking him who else is in the car and out pops his girlfriend.. not one scratch on them just a little shaken up, she had her cell phone out calling her momma and kept saying I came out of my shoes oh no I need my shoes, needless to say I had to hold back a laugh here she was totally concerned about her shoes:) anyway by this time several people had stopped to help and I guess the police found us because like 7 squad cars came to the rescue..:)Thank God for 911!!Anyway we were so touched that God had his hand on this couple.. the truck was completely totaled and the front end was all the way across the median it was amazing that they were standing there talking to us with no scratches they were so lucky to be alive.. I took that opportunity at that moment to tell them how blessed they were and that God had his hand on them and then we asked if we could pray with them before we left and they were very grateful! I think about what could have been and what we could have seen and even if their truck would have turned a certain way it could have hit us but God was there and we were very very Thankful needless to say none of us slept the whole way to Florida, we had our eyes open wide on the road and just kept talking about the couple but mainly how God was so amazing...We arrived in Florida at 4:30 a.m. and all crashed until noon the next day...... Come back and see what the next adventure is for The Rays...But take this time if you will and Thank God for the many blessings and miracles that he is doing in your life... He is so amazing!!
