“Living” Testimony
I am a true living testimony.
All my life since I was 16 I experienced drugs and alcohol. From 2010-2013 I drank and drove. Started maybe about once a month, my boyfriend at the time did most of the drunk driving (he was an alcoholic too) he eventually gave me two black eyes. I left my boyfriend because he beat me a lot and had other problems so then it turned into a weekly thing that I drank and drove after getting to my apartment, living by myself. Then I drove drunk several times a week, sometimes every day, mainly to go get more beer.
Yep, I was a severe alcoholic. I had quit going to church and fallen far away from Christ. My mom had a dream I got in a wreck and died, on the intersection by her house. A few weeks later I got in a bad wreck at the same intersection as her dream I was under 0.3 from alcohol poisoning.
Everybody I knew was praying for Me. Dr told my family I wasn’t going to make it, but God had another plan for me. 3 months later I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital bed in Dallas all confused. My dad had told me I had been in a coma the last three months and was in a horrible car accident flipped my car and had to be cut out of my car by police, no one else was involved, I straightened out a corner of an intersection a lil after midnight care flight didn’t expect me to make it to hospital and dress didn’t expect me to live thru ICU, I was in over a week. I Had 3 brain bleeds and a severe traumatic brain injury for the rest of my life.
I had to relearn to walk, had a feeding tube, collapsed a lung and relearned to eat and use the bathroom. I Got rebaptized. I believe God is giving me a 2nd chance at life now and helping me quit drinking I would have seizures if I drank or got sick. I’m trying to live correctly for Christ. He’s already helped me so much. And I truly believe he saved me so I can be a living testimony and show his miracles or save lives. Nobody knows how long I was sitting there gurgling blood till I was found.
This family had some car trouble coming back from vacation for some reason (God). They were a couple of hours late getting home and they found me. It was all God but Listen to me: Don’t drink and drive. For all of you people who have gotten a DWI, you are lucky that’s only temporary a TBI is for life. I’m not lucky… I’m blessed. Isaiah 41:10 (KJV):
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness
