Some of you may remember a post from this summer when I told you all the story about how Lance accidentally shot himself in the leg when we were evacuated four years ago for Hurricane Rita. Well, the bullet has finally decided to make its exit. Right after it happened, Lance had a surgery to clean the bullet fragments out of his leg, and his doctor decided it was too dangerous to remove the main part of the bullet because it was surrounded by important veins and nerves.
The bullet entered 2mm away from his main artery. Had it hit the artery, Lance would have almost certainly died very quickly. Or if it had exited his body, he could have very possibly bled out and died before we could have gotten him to the hospital. But neither of those things happened because God's hand guided that bullet right past his vital parts and stopped it before it could do damage by busting out the back of his leg. Now it is emerging as a very real reminder of the Soviergnty of our God.

What an amazing story...and a blessing.
wow. and if God had his hand on Lance then.... you can be assured His hand is on him now. What a humbling, quiet reminder. God is in control.
I am SO thankful that God guided that bullet and very thankful for knowing such a sweet family.
Every time you tell this story I think of, "what if we were still in Ft. Worth when this happened?" I often wonder where I would have been standing and how close I or Ryan would have come to being struck. I know that "accidents happen", as Cade says all the time..lol, but this is truly an incredible act of God's mercy and evidence of His hands on you guys. I am grateful that Lance is still here and I marvel at the fact of how close he came to death at that point. There are just no words to express the wonder of how marvelous our God truly is!!
