My personal testimony 'Triumph over tragedy'

Before I gave my heart to Jesus I felt like I had no purpose & had marriage problems.

My husband and I had just started going to church, as he drew nearer to God I felt he was leaving me behind and I became bitter.

Then tragedy struck and when God brought me through it with my husband by my side I knew He had a higher purpose for me & I had eternal life.

Now that I have eternal life I have purpose.

One morning I was driving to work with 2 of my coworkers/friends. I lost control on a patch of black ice. I woke up in the hospital a couple days later. My husband was there by my side! The man I had told I didn't love anymore & I wanted a divorce had so much love for me. I soon learned that one of my passengers had died and I became depressed. One day in the hospital I woke to see someone by each side of my bed. They were huge and at first I was afraid. Then all my pain left when one reached out & touched me. They were angels. I knew then that God would bring me through this. I had 8 broken bones & multiple internal injuries. I couldn't walk or talk(my jaws had been wired shut) I couldn't move well. My husband took care of me like I was a baby helping bathe & use the bathroom. I fell in love with him more than ever before & I give God all the glory. That was more than 10 years ago. My husband & I now pastor a church where I am a youth minister. God is so good.

I draw nearer to God everyday and I know that one day I will return to him for all eternity. He is still working on me and I will continue to serve him while I am here.
