Some News...

If you haven't heard yet, I've been in an accident that was close to either hurting me beyond functioning like a normal human being or very possibly taking my life, by a few feet.  I don't mean to sound dramatic but I'm still a little shaken up by it.  I'm getting a little better (physically & emotionally) each day other than the whiplash symptoms.  Time will heal.  I'm not up to it yet but possibly in a few weeks or so I'll write a post and put up pictures of my accident... of my injuries and of our poor new Murano which we'll never see again.  I'm really angry that people don't take the time and consideration on the road and don't value the safety of others.  I've forgiven the man who ran a red light and hit me going 40 mph, and I would have still forgiven him if I wasn't here today.  However, he has a lot of hard realities to face before he'll ever be at peace with himself if he continues to make careless and selfish choices.

I'm counting my blessings and very grateful to my Heavenly Father who has, again, preserved my life, and for my angels who are watching over me.  I'm grateful for the atonement and for the blood that my Saviour has shed for each trial I go through, he must really love me.  I realize more, with each trial, my mission on earth and that it is far from being over, and that I have much service and work to do for my Heavenly Father.  I would like to thank my family and friends who have reached out to me and who have offered to be there for me... I hope you know how grateful I am for each of you, and I will be there for you whenever you need me.  I have so many amazing people in my life and I have felt so incredibly loved over the past week.  I would also like to thank my caring and loving husband whose love for me truly is unconditional.  He has been such a sweetheart.  He has cooked the meals and done all the chores... I will try to get up and help him and he'll tell me to go rest.  He has offered to drive me to appointments even while he's supposed to be in school.  He was even going to miss school in the afternoons so he can be with me.  He has enough points in clinic for the semester so it would have been possible for him to not be there.  However, I didn't think this was a good idea.  Thanks to my friends who are taking over, and a big thanks to Sheena for packing up her babies and driving me to my appointments.  God bless all of you.

On another note, I'm going private on my blog in a few weeks so if you want to continue to read it then please email me your email so I can invite you.  mandyleej@yahoo.com
