I was sitting at my kitchen table earlier feeling so lonely, hurt over several things. I'm a person who Believes in Prayer and know that God is in Control of every situation. And I know one He will give us the Desires of our Hearts. I have a job that requires me to work every week end and I need Church. You see my son was in a terrible accident that almost took his life back in August.I know God had spared his life and the Angels were with him that night. He lost control of the car, hit a few fence posts, went air borne, then rolled the car several times and ended in a field between 2 tress on a old country road. The car landed on the passenger side and through him the back window. My son had 2 puncture lungs, a few fracture ribs, bruise on his liver, a little tear on his kidney and a blood on his brain. He remembers every thing about the wreck, crawling on the ground with a fracture pelvic also, he heard a man's voice asking him if he was ok, of course my son said no. The man disappeared (an Angel). His wreck brought a lot of things to my attention. one is to get back in church and I did. How could I not? God spared my son's life.I feel it was meant for him to remember every part of that wreck so. Why? Because he was doing things he shouldn't have. How my heart aches for my son's salvation. But then it came to me by listening to a song, I will praise you through the storm. And that I will do. I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I just have to keep reaching for it. My son healed from that less than a month but his spirit needs a healing. I'm asking for EVERYONE to pray for my son and for me to find a job that I'm able to get back in church. My Spirit is craving it and needs it. Thank you and With lots of Love, Deb

aw Deb....I know how it is with working and missing church, and to have one of ya kids needing to make a commitment to the lord..be encouraged tho sis....God does answer prayer and He see the desires of your heart for your son..train up the way a child should go and he will not depart from it,even tho it looks like he has,there is always that drawing back to the Father..sis you know how to get me , if you need to talk,..hey sis? how's your driving been lately? no more super market trolleys?
love you Deb

Hi Bandit,

I hope you can find a way to get to church maybe you can visit a church that meets a different time (a mid-week service perhaps?) I've had to be a "visitor in a strange land" and it's difficult but worth the effort. And there's always your Oasis church fellowship here I hope to see you in chat more often. I miss you.

Perhaps your son would be willing to meet with a christian counselor about his post traumatic stress. I'm sure he must be in torment with the memories and perhaps through Godly counsel he might be led to surrender himself to the Lord.

Praise You in the Storm is my favorite song. We do need to remember to give him Praise in all circumstances whether good or bad.

Love ya,
