Meaning Behind The Title

So I have always labeled my blog as Faith On Fire. There is a reason behind this. I have been blogging since I don't know when... My mom got me started on this and she now has stopped blogging herself. But, the reason I still do it, is because I was taught to be strong in any circumstance. I have be through fire, but it has been faith that has brought me through. I am a miracle from birth and I still continue to call myself one because of all the things I've been diagnosed with that has almost killed me and things that have happened to me, which has given me ample times that I have lived to see another day, even if I was in a hospital. Even though there are days I struggle with my Faith, I know it is Faith that has given me the strength to walk through the Fire. My GOD is BIG.

Car Accident =/



Sorry to you all!

I know I haven’t written in a long time. One reason is I didn’t know what to say to be honest and then when I was starting to think about writing on here again, I got in a car accident. I was going less than the speed limit on a grid road and my car hit a soft spot, spun me in circles over and over until I went flying into a culvert. The scary part was I didn’t role, I flipped three times. I had a passenger in my car and I said over and over in my mind please God keep my passenger safe, I don’t care about me just please keep her safe, as we were flipping. I hit the front end of my car and I just felt us spinning in mid air and I hit the front again, and then again and then finally on all four wheels as the car took down a metal road sign. The airbags did not deploy. I went into immediate shock. My passenger was the one who got out of the car and waved down help. The Fire Fighter said she wasn’t injured; she walked away with nothing… I told him my Dad is going to be mad at me (for killing my car), he said to me “your Dad won’t be mad, he can replace the car but he can’t replace you. God kept you safe, if you would have gone off the road any sooner that road sign would have gone through your windshield. I’m glad I don’t have to tell your family that their daughter wouldn’t be coming home.” Well I was put into a neck brace, moved onto a stretcher, they strapped me in and I was put on a bed with more straps and escorted into the Ambulance. At that point I realized my parents were there and all I could say was, “I’m sorry.” After many x-rays and drugs, I was sent home. I went home with a major concussion, sprained neck, lower back injury, fractured right foot (got stuck under the gas pedal), it took me five days to come out of shock, and little bruises here and there, my head was pretty banged up and swollen is some area’s. This was wake up call number three. I could have died three times, but guess what?! I’m alive, because there is such a thing called miracles. Have faith in God and hope within yourself. That’s what kept me safe June 29th, 2012 at 9:45PM.
