On July 5th, a man driving a Blazer type vehicle pulling a lawnmower trailer turned left in front of my 84 year old mother, totaling her little black Prism. She walked away without a scratch, without a bruise, without a physical pain. Our God is an awesome God!!
On June 14th, my husband was working on the brakes of our van when the jack broke. The van came down on his elbow, but there was nothing broken. Thank God!
Praise the name of Jesus, my protector, my healer. July the 14th 2010, I was hit by a pickup truck, I was in front of a chainlink gate, the truck came through the gate and hit me. It knocked me about 2 feet. I sat there for a while, then I was taken to the ER. The doctor was shocked after looking at the x-rays no bones cracked or broken.He said it was a miracle! I am 70 years old......what an awsome GOD we serve....JESUS loves us so much he gave his life!!!He protects us from all harm, so rest in his love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God is Amazing...yet once more He surprises me. I had a car accident sitting at a red light and once again I walked from that accident with out a scratch or broken bones. I love Him for being there for me.
Thirty years ago, when my son was 4, we were driving on a busy highway, when I lost my brakes, & the light was red with cars crossing across from where I was. All of a sudden, my son yells "Mom, there is fire coming from his side". I aimed my car, towards a curb, & a hill & the car almost stopped, so we could jump out and get away from the flames. I was afraid the car would explode. The police and fire department came and we were safe and felt very humbled, because we knew, it was not luck that saved us, but God guiding us to safety.
When I was 8, I went to a lake near my house with a friend and I wasn't supposed to leave the yard, but I did and went swimming. Well, I was over my head, couldn't swim and went down for the last time. The next thing I know, I'm on the shore, waking up. I knew God wanted me around.
Go back to November of 09. I was probably in the worst state of my life. I did not spend a day sober in my first two years at grad school, trying to escape this thing called life through mainly alcohol and pot. It was a great miracle that I passed my qualifying exams having only studied four hours while high the day before. So I began my second full year here surrounding myself with many people who pursued sinful things freely, yet I began to cry out in my room when I was alone. Surely there was more to life that what I was pursuing, many times I remember wanting to just die already. There seemed to be no end in sight, as I looked back on my life, I felt I was never content anywhere I went. I looked to the world for some kind of satisfaction, but after trying what the world did, it made me even more despondent. BUT! One day, a girl asked me if I wanted to do Bible study. I was kind of curious as to what people did in Bible study so I agreed. And right afterwards, it was so clear what God wanted me to do. He wanted me to share his word with other people. I always felt I was meant to do something good for the world, but I just became lost and confused along the way. But there was one problem, I was still holding on to things in the world. Even though they didn't bring me true happiness, I didn't want to let them go, I stubbornly refused to repent. We did more Bible studies for the course of about two and a half months and then a winter Bible conference came up. Up on that mountain, my cell phone didn't work which cut me off from all avenues of sin and it was 100% Jesus all weekend long. Something great was going on inside of me, I began to believe that God was real and then we studied Luke 23. I broke down in tears, sobbing uncontrollably, knowing that it was my sin that caused Jesus to suffer so terribly that day. I couldn't believe what I had done to this innocent man, who only prayed for the world while they crucified him. And right after this, the message was on Matthew 28, Therefore Go and make disciples of all nations and it was instantly clear what I had to do. I remember after this real repentance something was going on inside of me and after hearing Jesus' words at the end of Matthew's gospel, my whole life changed. Upon returning to the world, I instantly threw away all my pot and alcohol and had this desire to know more and more about Jesus. Ever since then, I live with the joy of God and fight hard to deny myself, pick up my cross, and follow Jesus; for surely he is with me to the very end of this age.
When you walk through the slums, you walk with intent and with a destination. This social-worker and I were headed to a child's house to do a basic check up on their living situation to see how the family was doing and such. God of course had other plans. Sitting in the dirt on our path was a boy who had not been going to school like he should have been, so a conversation started. He led us to his home and inside was his mother and aunt taking care of a neighbors baby. One thing led to another and we learned that one of the women, his mother, was seeing demonic visions and having major depressive anxiety attacks. Her friends had started calling her crazy and everyone had started to shun her except her sister. She stopped working and was living off of her sister and was feeling so horrible she just stayed inside all day. After hours of talking about what was going on and some solutions and quite a few tears we were able to lead her in a prayer where she decided to give her life to Christ. It was beautiful. The social worker will do consistent check-ups with her and told her where to start going to church and that she would go with her.
