I am a living miracle!

My dad was a very abusive father and at many times through his life I can see where God placed people so he might receive healing for the abuse his own father (my paternal grandfather) inflicted on him. My father was raised as a choir boy in The Church of England, however as an adult he was living far from God’s will. My father was also a first response driver in the Police Force- which resulted in him seeing all kind of negative events on a daily basis. This should have given him more reason to cling to God.

As an impulsive 7 year old girl returning home from a family vacation, I proceeded to run to my friend’s house which was a few blocks away- only God had other plans for what was to happen.  As I crossed the street on which I lived, clearly not looking to see the oncoming work vehicle, I was hit, the force of which sent my 7 year old body flying through the air to land 15 ft (approximately) further down the street. My dad ran to the scene of the accident whereupon he told God that, “regardless of if I lived or died, that he (my dad) would never stray from God again”. The paramedics arrived, and being in a coma as I was, God blessed me and shielded me from the pain I would otherwise of known. The paramedics informed my parents that I had “48 hours to live”.  My mother stayed with me in the Intensive Care Unit for what ended up being between 10-14 days,  I was in a coma and on life support for a part of that time. The doctors told my parents “if she lives, she’ll never walk or talk again”.

I stayed in the hospital from 04.13.81 – 06.10.81, and before the age of the Internet……. can you even imagine such a world? This is my favorite part,  I was receiving letters and cards from all over the world from praying people!!!

I was allowed to go home two months later with crutches to assist me in learning to walk again which did take quite some time to do. Many of the streets in the town I lived in still had the old Victorian style cobble stones- which made walking a challenge. But each and every time I feel even the slightest discomfort now, I am reminded of God’s goodness for me in the fact that I am fully able to walk. My learning suffered quite a bit at that time, and greatly effected my reading, I had to learn to do that all over again, but God met me there too!! He met me at EVERY ONE of my points of need.

I witnessed things a child should never even fear happening in their home, a place which should be a haven. My dad’s violent abuse was mostly inflicted on my older siblings (I am the youngest of four).  He was arrested for sexual abuse towards my siblings and my mother, and then sentenced for his crimes. It wasn’t until then that I learned things about him that left me feeling emotionally numb, a numbness that would last for 20 years until I said, “Enough!”. I found a Christian counselor two years ago and last year I completed a Step Study. Only then- for the first time ever, was I able to cry about any of this. No more spending all of the energy it takes to push that kind of pain down. And imagine this-  God met me here too!

I am so grateful to Jesus for giving me everything that I need to live out the purpose He has for me to do!
