A quick update.
Yesterday morning our 24 year old daughter, Katie, was struck by a SUV while on her bike, en route to her service project in Houston, TX. Amazingly, miraculously, even though one of the tires ran over her leg, she is just severely bruised and battered. No internal injuries from what they can tell, and no broken bones. How can you be literally overrun by a SUV and not have at least one broken bone? Only God, and His divine mercy, provide sufficient explanation, in my estimation. She is still in the hospital and we are waiting for news of just what her recovery is going to look like. Our desire and our hearts are to be there with her, but she is a bit overwhelmed right now and is getting lots of support from her mission team down there, and so for now, at least, she's asked us to stay put and support from a distance. So, we continue on with life here, but our hearts are in Texas.
We are so, so grateful that they are concerned hearts, and not grieving hearts.On our other major front, we are still negotiating a contract on house # 2,
and may have a sealed deal soon. Stay tuned!My Kate and her team in Houston who've been loving the poor and homeless there:
She is, of course, the one in the middle with the fish lips. Yes, that's my girl.

Oh my goodness, Trish -- so, so thankful that Katie is just battered and bruised with no broken bones or other serious other issues! I do hope it was not a hit-and-run, and that she's well covered by insurance. Will keep her in my thoughts!

No, it wasn't hit and run and the poor lady who didn't see Katie, has insurance. She'll be well provided for.

Thank goodness! I hope she'll recover quickly and soon be back to her normal ebullient self!!!
Keep us posted on her recovery and on House #2.
I'm so glad to hear that your daughter was not injured more by the accident -- trusting she recovers fully and that you soon have an end to your housing situation.
I definitely see the hand of God in her good state after such a meeting! thankful with you and praying for a speedy recovery.
Good to hear news on the house...waiting for final word with you!
Thanks God, Katie is safe after this accident that could be more harmful. But she is certainly much shocked and bruised . Fortunately there are many people around her.
I read your reply below . and what you write here let me hope about the house number two.
