[@tonisangel5024]

There is more to the story about what my husband saw wish I could tell you the whole story I would be writing to long... but I truly feel bad for one's that don't believe..love yall bunches

[@barbb.7028]

Truly God was watching over both of you. I'm so thankful you weren't hurt and that you are using this to praise God on your channel. It's a reminder for all of us how precious life is. Oh my Layla, had be laughing. Telling us "peace out and I love you" just like momma. And then, she does the happy dance and kisses the car. Zade, exciting to see those first steps!!

[@georgiarose2841]

I believe y’all have a Ford Explorer. My sister has a Ford F150 hybrid. The pin (Main Boot) that holds the tire to the back axle has been included in a recall. This has been a thing with the explorers and f150’s. She’s had hers replaced twice.

[@loriwilson5617]

Standing beside you in gratefulness for God’s protection during the car accident and for his provision afterwards. My daughter had a blowout that did result in her flipping and rolling her SUV a few years ago, and I remain grateful to this day for God and how he took care of her. ❤️❤️❤️

[@tammyjohnston4874]

My Mom’s Ty-Rod broke in her front axle years ago. She managed to get her stopped, without wrecking, but the aftermath of the situation scared her to death. Praise the Lord for his guidance and mercy. Zade is a baby doll!!!! Love his little baby rolls. He’s walking!!!! Yeah Zade!!!!

[@barbarabavier675]

"Peace out! Love you!" Layla is the best!

[@ozarkldy8117]

When my youngest was 9 that DID happen to us on the interstate at 70mph. Rear left tire peeled off a layer & caught in the undercarriage, locking the wheel. We did three 360°'s across both eastbound lanes, watching semi trucks coming closer each time. Steering wheel unlocked enough for vehicle to shoot east northeast. Finally caught median. Did immediate 90° left. Stopped in center of median. There was about 8 ways we could have been demolished. Most of them likely gravely injuring others as well. By the grace of God, besides TOTALLY getting what y'all said & being limp legged but eternally grateful, all we needed was a tow truck. Though I did let EMS load my kiddo to ER just in case velocity or anything possibly effected her. Diesel pickup had gotten close enough to us they ended up on 2 right wheels a moment before recovering all 4 & carrying onward. Total miracle in my book! Bless y'all! Glad yours was too! Still gives me chills when I remember it, years later

[@elizabethmaysonet892]

God was on your way and side He really protected you from a sure accident. His angels were there to take care of you. Stay saved and redeemed. God bless you today.😊

[@judyherman1249]

Definitely Praise God for protecting you all from harm. Layla is ready for her own channel. What a very precious soul. That was awesome seeing Zade's first steps. Thank you for sharing your life with so many.

[@abbygalecarmon3603]

So glad y'all are ok. We were also in a wreck this past Wednesday April 26th. We were rear-ended by a semi. Officers were saying we are lucky to be alive. It's by God's grace!!!

[@RockinRita03]

OMG! That had to be beyond scary with a semi!

[@jessicaboyer8163]

God was definitely watching over y'all. So glad y'all are okay. Love you guys❤

[@sjs9354]

Yes, many children over the years have lost both parents under similar circumstances. How blessed to always be covered with His protective hand. Wish I was closer to the store.

[@lealuby884]

So glad y'all were safe. Looks like your trip was a success and how precious that Layla was so excited to see Evan's parents. Zade will be into everything soon. 🤣

[@susansmith6680]

I'm so grateful you are safe and no one was harmed by the car situation.

[@lornab2555]

God is so good everyday! Hallelujah! 🥰🙏

[@susanannhagger7637]

I live in UK so we don't go to church unless it's a wedding or a funeral I'm so pleased they where ok

[@DoctorJoanieTool]

So grateful you both are OK. Grateful kids weren’t along. Fortunate and lucky. Definitely a great reminder that life is fragile and we cannot take a moment for granted. Loved Layla talking to the camera and wishes us an ‘I love you and peace out’. She’s going to be camera savvy at a young age - smart little honey!

[@yoliec1206]

Praise GOD for keeping y’all safe, I literally got chills in your intro. Love y’all, GOD BLESS! lol love how Layla said “Peace Out”.

[@nancymosley708]

Glad you are ok. That is scary. Looks like a busy but fun week. I can’t believe you had customers drive from such a distance. Wow. So neat you caught Zade on video for his first steps.

[@MarthaGarrett]

I am so grateful you were not injured or anyone else. Also I love how you give God the glory. I’m 65, recently diagnosed with incurable (but treatable cancer), hearing you say that each day is precious really spoke to me. I love your precious family

[@cindyheyman5452]

The same thing happened to us during a snow storm. It's the stabilizer arm you're talking about or sway bar. And you're so lucky and someone was watching over you like an angel. God bless

[@kathyleftwich5125]

Praise the Lord y’all were okay, he was definitely watching out for you both ♥️🙏🏼 Little Zade walking, so cute , they grow so fast. Layla is so smart, she is amazing, Sending love , prayers and blessings 🙏🏼🥰♥️🤗

[@rachellecraig418]

Oh praise the Lord for His protection over you both! I’m so very thankful that you weren’t hurt and that you didn’t have those precious babies with you! Layla just gets sweeter with each video! Telling the camera “I love you,” the excitement of being with your parents, and kissing the car! And Zade walking was so awesome and so adorable! And catching it all on camera is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us! May God continue to bless your family! 🙏🏼❤️

[@lindaphillips4956]

So thankful for God having a hedge of protection around you guys. It was so sweet to see Zade taking those steps. He will be taking off in no time!

[@marsihopkins1995]

That little grunt was cute, you have a walker now. Thank God you both safe . Layla and Zade are too cute. Nice to see Zach and Whitney.

[@4812lucilove]

Layla is such a sweet loving little girl. Don’t change Layla!!

[@briannamartin2227]

No such thing as lucky. The hand of God protected you and that’s it. Praise God! ❤

[@lorrainechapman6940]

That was his first step how sweet my great-granddaughter took her first steps this week as well she just turned one on the 28th. Very glad you weren't hurt or worse.Thank God!

[@JuletJulet]

Praise God! I'm so glad you're alright. Times like these do humble us and remind us that life is short. We lost our beautiful daughter 10/2020 to a car accident. It was so unexpected and very sad. We are raising her daughter. Sending love to you all today 💗

[@Kate-w3w]

I’m so very sorry for your loss. 😢

[@JuletJulet]

Thank you, it's been so hard. 😥

[@anitamiller7169]

Thank god y’all are ok. I flipped my car 3-4 times several years ago. I had seatbelt burn and a piece of glass in my foot. The windshield and top of car was crushed. I never hit my head nothing. I know it had to be god and my mom in heaven that took care of me that day.

[@drgnflylover0774]

Layla has grown up so fast. She talks like she's so much older. So precious.

[@viviansoto2489]

You guys are awesome! I met Evans mom dad and sisters a couple weeks ago in Hendersonville, TN. They are just the sweetest people!!!

[@angelabrockman7816]

Layla's voice is so precious. Glad for His protection over you both. ❤

[@mariedoremus8440]

Cash and carry was amazing! Thankfully you are safe!! Praise God!

[@aprilsatterfield3868]

Glad you all are safe. I was turning on my way to work many years ago and felt like my wheel was fallinf off going around a curve. My dad restored antique cars. I called him to help me. He thought I was exaggerating. Then the mechanic told him my back axle broke.

[@marybethterhaar4200]

Layla is darling! So fun to see Zade's 1st steps! Very thankful you were kept safe...PTL!❤

[@pamyork5217]

So thankful for his angels that were around you and let all wet❤

Praise the LORD for sure and for certain!!!!

[@sharongott8048]

Thankful for the Lord’s protection over you! Laila is a hoot. I loved her sweet excitement arriving at Nene’s house and “ I love yous and peace out.” Made me smile and giggle.

[@candisbar524]

So thankful y'all were kept safe and that Jesus really did take the wheel. Layla!! That girl is something else, lol. Cracks us all up. So happy your customers came out in droves for the big event. Nice to see your little man walking, he's so cute!!

[@LadyJane975]

Bless your hearts--so grateful for the protective arms of a Mighty God. My folks pray everytime the get into their cars for the Lord's divine protection. The Lord kept my family and I safe over 30 years ago when I was in high school. We were travelling home to Fairbanks, Alaska from Dad being an interim pastor in a church 2 hours away. Mum hit a patch of black ice and the minivan turned on its side and slid several feet. It was a miracle that no one else was involved, and we walked away. Many on that same mountain stretch were not so fortunate. Our God is an awesome God!

[@theresadavis4885]

Thanking God and praising him that you are all safe!!! Continued success with your boutique .

[@ellyne3863]

Thank God you guys are ok!!! 🙏🏻 You never want something like that to happen, but it happened at the right time and place to keep you guys safe.

[@chrissysvideos]

Thank you Father for keeping them safe ❤ and the children weren’t in the car.

[@janetbradbury5021]

Layla we love you too! What a great dancer you are. I like your jumps and turns. It makes you think "All night All day angels watching over you O Lord!" We had a close call driving on a crowded freeway. A car zipped into our lane bumping our front fender. It sent us swerving towards the concrete divider. My 18 year old driver kept us in our lane fishtailing until we could exit freeway. She knew what to do from playing video driving races at pizza parlor. It was a miracle. I kept thinking how much pain will it be to crash into that cement wall. Praise the Lord!!

[@d.m.6501]

So thankful you're ok!! Years ago the outer tie rod broke off our front right tire just when I pulled into our driveway, making the minivan inoperable. Minutes before, I had just been on the interstate. So thankful for God's protection!

[@MsWDWFAN1]

I'm a true believer that God works in mysterious ways. God and any guardian angels were definitely with you. So glad y'all weren't on the interstate going faster than you were. Driving slower is what saved y'all for sure!. Layla saying peace out, was so cute!

[@belindasanders7072]

Praise the Lord. Amen

[@Momof5grannytomany]

Thanking God your both safe to tell the tailn that the kids were at the baby sitters so they were also safe. Man Zade is growing up so fast with his now starting to walk.

[@ruthwarren8685]

Zach is like the girls cowboy bodyguard and doing the manly work for the girls and then Evan is over there just goofing off.

Praise the Lord! He is watching over you for sure! How awesome!

[@TeeTee-gr4ir]

August 13th will mark two years since the Lord brought my barely 19 year old niece home. (In so many ways, more daughter than niece.) Single vehicular car accident. Truck vs tree and tree won. Even almost two years later, I am still amazed at the thought that in only took about 15 seconds for my entire family's world to shatter and become one giant "before and after". I am SO SO SO glad the Lord spared your lives and kept you safe!

[@janicemoore2954]

Praise God for keeping you both from seen and unseen dangers🙌🏽 11:32

[@rosehunter8896]

Beautiful Family and Glade you are Safe!!! Layal is So Beautiful!!!❤

[@smartgrandma]

What an amazing blessing! God may not be able to take away all our struggles, but he finds a better way for us to get through them. We blew out a tire on I-95 a few years ago, and we somehow managed not to crash into anything nor flip our car. Our tow truck driver couldn't believe that we didn't flip over several times. My hubby was able to maintain some control of our car and get it off the highway onto the side of I-95. God keeps us going because he needs us to continue His work here in our world. God needs you here, and we all need you here in our world, lifting our spirits and reminding us about God's wonderous love for us. Sending you prayers, love, and gentle hugs..... 🥰

[@jennifermiller5041]

Ours snapped in half too, only right after I pulled in to our driveway. I know to this day, that was the hand of our Saviour that held it together until we pulled in!! I'm so glad he protected y'all as well. He is so so good! ❤️🥰

[@brittanycaruso6216]

So glad you are all okay!!! Layla is getting the cutest personality!! Love your little fam!!❤

[@pamelamaurer2076]

My husband and I had a somewhat similar situation before we had kids. We were driving on the highway on a rainy day in the slow lane and a Mack truck was in the lane next to us and he didn’t see us and he was getting off of the highway. He started merging into our lane and our front left bumper got attached to the truck. He was dragging us down the highway. Somehow my husband (who was driving) was able to get us free from him but then our car ended up in front of the truck and he hit us and we got spun around again and went down into the ditch backwards. Past the fast lane. We came to a stop in the ditch. The miracle was that no one was coming in the fast lane to hit us AND because it was raining we just hydroplaned and didn’t flip. It was my first car - a Nissan Sentra- unbelievably we were not hurt at all and we drove away (very very shaken ) from the accident. We learned after that the man coming down the fast lane saw that something wasn’t right with the truck and our car so he slowed down. He came to see if we were okay in the ditch. Turns out he was a friend of my husbands brother. Every time we think of that day we say “it wasn’t our time and god has more plans for us!” PS- the cost to fix the car was more than the car was worth so we had to call it totaled but we were just happy to be alive.

[@leislavalon3391]

Layla's "Peace out!" & "Let's go BABY!" 😂 So cute! So glad y'all are ok!

[@lorinewgard2476]

I appreciate all of the Bates women and the spouses of the Bates men in stylish yet modest clothing.

[@lauraleebaird9729]

Carlin, your lipstick color is so PRETTY!! Wow! I'm in tears just thinking how precious it is when God steps in and protects us. I had an incident a few years ago. Our brake pad broke loose and locked our wheel up...back, driver's side. It happened when I was pulling out of a parking spot. Thank God we weren't traveling because we would have been on the highway the next day. It could have been so bad...BUT GOD!!! Praising God with ya'll!

Love your family so much. I’m so thankful you are all okay. I know you love your Izzy as much as I love my fur babies. You should really make sure she travels in the back seat in a harness of some type. Just like a child in the front seat she could be seriously injured by the airbag or become a projectile in an accident. 13:43 Please protect her like you do your human babies.💜💜💜💜💜

[@cherylrhone3407]

I am so thankful God was protecting you guys. That is scary to even think about. Your Cash & Carry was off the chain this time. You had people wrapped all the way around the bldg. Another blessing for all of you. I love all of you. God bless you each of you. 😘💜

[@amylay79]

Reminder to make sure car seats are installed correctly. About 10 years ago my 3 kids were with me when I lost control in my minivan. We fishtailed and rolled over on the interstate in the Salt River Canyon in Arizona. Some people who stopped for us climbed through our sunroof to get my kids out of their car seats. Still to this day I have never gotten the picture of my kids hanging in their car seats out of my head. If they weren’t installed properly they could’ve been thrown and not be here today. We were also told we were lucky to be alive. We were less than 3 feet from going off a cliff. Rolling over actually slowed us down. I avoid that highway still. Thank God you guys are safe!

[@mirandaoverholt6922]

I’m so glad you are ok and safe praise the Lord for his angels

[@kimmyclark1372]

I’m glad y’all are ok… like Carlin said when stuff like this happens it makes you remember how fast life can change! Be encouraged and lean on the Lord because he’s worthy. 🙌🏾🤗🙏🏽
