A Miracle

 

God doesn’t guarantee us tomorrow and we don’t know what the future will hold.  What we do know is; when we call on the name of Jesus mountains will move and nothing is impossible, if we only believe!

On April 24, 2006 I was bucked off the front of my horse.  I went off over his head and did a flip landing directly on the top of my head.  Everything went numb and silent.  I could see the ground moving, but could not feel or hear.  Then everything went black.  When I came too I could not feel or move.  At that moment I felt a helplessness that can’t be explained.  I almost panicked, but instead I began to call on the name of Jesus.  Jesus, Jesus, Jesus…..  Then I heard the the Holy Spirit say “Move your arms.”  I tried to move them and they moved just a little.  I continued to call the name of Jesus and the more I said His name the more I was able to feel and move.  I eventually was able to call 911.

After a series of CT scans I was told I had broken C1 and C2.  These were the same vertebrae that Christopher Reeve broke when he was thrown from his horse.  I later learned that 97% of people with these injuries die, 2% are on a ventilator the rest of their lives and 1% walk away!

Three months after my accident an MRI was done.  It was discovered that I had 3 pinches, 2 damaged disks and a bruise on my spinal cord.  I was having painful symptoms and was told that the bruised cells on my spinal cord would die off and I would not improve.  I may in fact become worse.  God is good, I did improve and 3 months later another MRI showed that all the spinal cord damage could no longer be seen.  

I was also diagnosed with brain damage.  I began to speak over my mind and in three weeks time the symptoms were gone and have not returned!

I could feel the presence of God almost continually throughout my healing.  He has shown Himself faithful.  When we put our trust in Him He will come through on our behalf.
