"Bumps" in the road

Well, things never go as planned.
We arrived in the USA with no problems other than a 1 1/2 hour delay so I would say things went really well!!
It has been great to have time with family and to get some Dr. appointments out of the way. We have had 2 wonderful Sundays with our home church and reconnected with many friends.

We rented a car on Monday(May 9) to head to Louisville for 3 days of time with the head office folks. An hour out of Millersburg our car was rear ended and totaled! We are very sore from whip lash, and seat belts catching us but we are ok and for that I am extremely thankful. We were at a complete stop and the man who hit us never touched the brakes and was going 50 -55 mph.
Now we are dealing with how to get another rental (Enterprise will not rent to us again until OUR insurance pays the deductible) which means someone taking us to Canton/Akron to see if we can rent from someone else.
Bumps in the road. It has thrown us for a loop as we had finances all figured out for a rental and not flying so now we are trying to figure out the best way forward from here. We are alive, more or less unhurt, and have a warm place to stay so we are very blessed.
As we were sitting at the Fire Station waiting for Brandon to pick us up Lynn looked at me and said " lets go back to Juba where it is safe" LOL my how a persons perspective can change!!
Some bumps in the road send you in another direction and some just make you slow down and see what is around you while others just make you stop for a spell. I will let you know what this bump in the road does for us.
