PRAISE JESUS!! A THOUSAND TIMES PRAISE HIM!!!

[TheArchDuke]

my friend recently got in a car accident and she had pretty bad brain damage from what i hear...but she came to church tonight and i got to talk with her for a long time...her speech is a little scatterbrained and her shortterm memory is alittle bad (she kept reminding me that my last name is smith and that she likes chocolate) but she is doing alot better. here's a bulletin i wrote about it on a different forum...

"i saw the car that lisa got in a accident in. let me tell you, there is NOTHING that ANYONE could say to me that would cause me to stop believing in God right now. those photos are incredible. the back wheel was in the front passenger seat. there is nothing...absolutely nothing left of that car...except the driver's area where lisa was sitting. there's no reason why that part of the car should be intact, but it is. the windshield is completely shattered...except right where lisa was...it's perfect, not a scratch on it. the seat she was in is right where it should be. crap, even the driver door opens and closes normally!!! that shouldn't have happened! but it did. lisa shouldn't be alive right now but she is. she shouldn;t have legs right now but she does. she should be in a coma atleast, but she's not. God exists and he loves lisa with all His heart, just like he loves you. this isn't a chainletter...i'm not asking you to pass it on. i typed it myself, this is a true story...happened on nov 28th and i saw the photos tonight for the first time. i saw lisa too...her knee was cut up and she had a neckbrace. her speach is alittle fast and confusing from the brain damage but she is expected to recover. infact, from what they tell me, she was much much worse before...she's pretty much lisa again. praise Jesus."


it's so much fun to watch her remember more and more. since she's remembering how things feel and taste it's like she's experiencing things for the first time again...only this time she's mature in the Lord and i hear she bursts into tears of praise when she gets to experience different foods and smells she used to like. she doesn't have amnesia...she just doesn;t remember sensory things. she thinks normally but talks like a child and it makes me praise Jesus when i hear her talk about things in that way. she knows what she means but she can't articulate it. when she was about to show me the pictures of her car she was stuttering and trying to tell me that this is proof that God loves her and was protecting her but instead it came out (after a short struggle) as, "this is how i know God hugs me".
praise Jesus!!!



this person is a miracle

Praise God indeed! I am amazed to know that there are people who don't believe in modern-day miracles; this certainly sounds like a miracle to me.

“I love you, O LORD, my strength.
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.
The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.
In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.
The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry.
Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.
He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.
He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.
He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him— the dark rain clouds of the sky.
Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
He shot his arrows and scattered [the enemies], great bolts of lightning and routed them.
The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke,
O LORD, at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.
He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.
They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support.
He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.
The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I have not done evil by turning from my God.
All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.
I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.
The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.
You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.”
(Psa. 18:1-28, NIV)

Amen, Melinda.

ArchDuke, the Sunday School class of which I am a member is praying for a woman who has undergone a similar tragedy. Serious brain damage occurred, but the extent of her progress is amazing her attending physicians. There is much healing yet to occur, but Jesus is truly the Great Physician, and continually encourages us with his tender mercies in her life. I will continue to pray for this dear sister, and praise God with you for his immeasurable grace.

God continue to bless and keep you always, brother,
