In 1985, I became very ill with acute renal failure. According to medical staff I died 5 times. I do remember out of body experiences and the Good Lord giving me reasons to go back, telling it was not my time. I had to save my son who was going to attempt suicide, my eldest daughter was going to break her leg and I needed to be there to help her, a baby was going to need me. My youngest son just wanted me to stay for "popcorn and pop". I'll never forget God's grace as he pulled me through when all other options failed, the doctors said they had tried everything and my kidneys would not return, that I needed to pray and pray hard or I was going to be on dialysis for the rest of my life. I was already praying but at that point I began to pray even harder and constantly, I never lost my faith, I knew in my heart as sick as I was I was going to be alright. In 1995 I was given a baby, not my own, but one who definitely needed me at the time, happy to say he is still with me and doing great. In 2006, my son was attempting suicide at the place where God had shown me he would, and I was there to stop it, he is doing great as well. In 2007, my daughter fell and broke her leg and ankle, she was in a wheelchair for a year, she needed my help with her three children and Dr. appts. These things were always in the back of my mind so when they happened I knew why and what I was supposed to do. My God is good, my God is great! I have never lost my faith, I never will. My God has done so much for me and my loved ones, he has truly answered many of my prayers. My youngest, my foster son, when in need of prayer will call me and ask "will you pray to your God for me because he is good and I need help"! I know that without God's saving grace I would not be here! I love my God! He is an awesome, all powerful God!
