Life took a different turn!

Reading the last post I wrote on here really makes me sad. Not because I don't like what I said, but because of what direction my life took at the end of September. What could have been easily the WORST chapter of my life has turned out to be one of the best. My husband was driving home on Saturday September 27 when a motorist didn't see him and ran out in front of him. The motorcycle he was driving t-boned the passenger side of the truck so hard that his glasses ended up in the cab of the guys truck. The guy didn't know what had happened...and I guess he thought he killed my husband because the ambulance didn't run it's sirens...
I was busy trying to get supper on the table, so the call that he had gotten into an accident didn't make me feel fuzzy inside. I could hear him in the background, so I wasn't too alarmed. I called my brother-in-law to take care of my kids....and I went to the hospital. Tommy had gauze over his eyes and I knew if he didn't have his glasses he couldn't see. He complained about his knee hurting him(the dr. said that was deferred pain from his hip.) and he said his head was hurting him and he kept putting his hand behind his head...which scared me! There was blood everywhere on his face and his front teeth were black with blood. There were pieces of glass in his hair and he had a gash over his right eye and bridge of his nose. He was stitched up and awaiting transport to UAMS...to be continued!!
****EDITED TO ADD****
We spent a couple of weeks at UAMS and came home with Tommy in crutches. I am so glad that we were able to come home!! Tommy went back to work Jan 4 and then we got pregnant in February with a due date of Nov 4. Now November will come and go without a baby in our household...in late April we found out our sweet babies(it was twins!) were no longer viable. They stopped growing at about 10 and1/2 weeks, and I was 12 weeks along. We had such high hopes for this birth, but it just wasn't meant to be...
I know everyone tells you that it was for the best and blah, blah, blah...but I know that doesn't make me sleep any better at night. But I have to be still and know that God is God no matter what I am doing he is still concerned about me.
I think about Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare, and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." NASB
I know that no matter what I can't change what has happened and I can't stop time or speed it up no matter how hard I try. Trust me...I have tried!!
