1st FB Post:
Please pray. Nurie and Kaylee just got in an accident on their way to volunteer at the Crossroads Pregnancy Center! I am shaking and going to see them now. They landed in a ditch upside down. 
2nd FB Post:
*** Emergency! Please pray! Nurie almost drowned in the creek! We are en route to the hospital.
3rd FB Post:
Please pray. Thank Jesus they are alive! 
4th FB Post:
Nurie is talking and thanking God she is alive! She was trapped under the water and was thrashing around to try to get out. She told me she thought she was going to die….but that she felt ready to meet her Maker. However, she thought, “Is THIS how I am going to die?!! I don’t want to leave my family yet!”
Kaylee was passed out and could not help her. Finally Kaylee woke up and began calling Nurie’s name. Nurie could not answer and was beginning to lose consciousness. Kaylee could not see well, due to her eye being nearly swelled shut. So, she grabbed at whatever she could (her account of the story is cloudy) and lifted Nurie out of the water. Nurie GASPED for air. They could NOT get the doors open, but praise God they had JUST rolled down their windows. So, Kaylee DUG through the gravel and they climbed out the window. Thank God they are trim. 
They are going in for Cat Scans, X-Rays, etc. They will heal. I am telling you, David and I are THANKING God for His goodness to us today. We have cried and lifted our hands towards Heaven – “THANK YOU, Jesus, for sparing their lives!” We will not know the extent of their injuries until their tests are done. I LOVE my baby girls! Words CANNOT even express how thankful I am that they are alive! Jill
(P.S. I think our car is totaled. Pray that God would provide for that. We assured the girls NOT to worry about ruined cell phone or destroyed car though…..THEY are the ones that we are BEYOND grateful that they are okay.)
5th FB Post:
When I saw the car, I was in AWE that the girls were not more injured and still alive! God’s MERCY is indeed new every morning. GREAT is His faithfulness! Please pray….the car was also FILLED with a ton of our expensive instruments. We are in shock at the losses, YET amazed at what God allowed us to keep- the LIVES of our precious, sweet daughters.
6th FB Post:
Quite a few stitches and staples later, (on Kaylee’s eye and head and Nurie’s hand) we are on our way home. Thank you, Jesus! NO broken bones although Kaylee’s jaw and shoulder are swelled and VERY painful! God is good. I am going to snuggle and hug them a LOT!
Did I mention, I am GRATEFUL to God?
Oh, BTW, did I tell you I serve a GREAT God?
Just wanted to make sure I told you that God was EXTRA good to us today!!
I could WEEP with thanksgiving!! Jill
7th FB Post:
What would I do without church family? Erica Albright Doughty came to my rescue and went to our house to pick up HUNGRY baby Janessa and brought her to the hospital for me to nurse her. Also, Pastor Kevan Bartlett came to the hospital, prayed with us, and brought the children (still at home) dinner. THANK YOU! 
Sometimes I HONESTLY wish there was 13 of ME to be with each of my children always. Thank God He does that job for me.
Timothy called us from camp (via LIVE call). He held it together for awhile, but then broke down and we were all crying together over the phone. This process of having my children scattered (doing the work of the Lord) is both rewarding, but HEART WRENCHING, GRIEVOUS pain in my heart.
8th FB Post:
Nurie asked me to tell you all that she wants to go LIVE tomorrow night at 7pm to explain how the accident happened due to a LOT of people asking. Please tune in to hear her heart. This is NOT easy for her, but it is her desire. Thank you. Jill (for Nurie) (photo- Botswana, Africa trip with Jasmine Cady).
9th FB Post:
My girls were SO traumatized by their near death experience, that they didn’t want to sleep in their own beds. So, it is girl slumber party tonight.
I LOVE my children MORE than words could EVER express. Understand, Mamas, out there?
I pray God blesses my children’s futures MIGHTILY! They are WONDERFUL children that bring me GREAT JOY!
10th FB Post:
Nurie will be going LIVE at 7pm tonight. Please tune in to hear her heart.
