I WOULD LOVE TO SHARE WITH YOU A LITTLE ABOUT MY MIRACLE SON, LEE.
HE WAS IN A VERY SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT WHEN HE WAS 17 YEARS OLD---HE IS NOW...28.
HE ALWAYS LOVED THE LORD, WAS BROUGHT UP IN A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH-ATTENDED SUNDAY SCHOOL AND WAS VERY ACTIVE IN THE CHURCH YOUTH GROUP.
HE HAD DECIDED A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT THAT HE WANTED TO GO TO BIBLE COLLEGE AND SERVE THE LORD IN WHATEVER WAY GOD WOULD LEAD HIM...
SATAN WILL ATTEMPT TO STEAL GOD'S PEOPLE, AND DISCOURAGE ALL THOSE AROUND THEM WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS...BUT...WE MUST KEEP THE FAITH...
GOD HAS THIS SPECIAL WAY OF GETTING HIS WAY, AND WHEN SATAN TRIES TO INTERFERE, GOD WILL SURELY TAKE WHAT SATAN INTENDED FOR BAD AND TURN IT AROUND AND USE IT FOR GOOD AND UPLIFTING THINGS INSTEAD OF DESTRUCTION....
WE SERVE AN AWESOME GOD!!!
....BACK TO THE ACCIDENT...
LEE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE WEATHER OUTSIDE WAS GETTING PRETTY NASTY. HE HAD HIS COUSIN WITH HIM, WHO WAS ALSO INJURED BUT NOT AS SERIOUSLY AND THE WOMAN IN THE OTHER CAR THAT HIT THEM WAS KILLED...
I WAS TOLD LEE WOULD NOT MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT.
THE HOSPITAL STAFF WAS INFORMED BY US THAT WOULD NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE WE BELIEVED IN MIRACLES...
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS SEEN FROM THEN ON...
SOME WERE SMALL---SOME WERE BIG---SOME JUST GAVE PEACE AND STRENGTH.
BUT GOD WAS THERE AND WE KNEW HE WAS IN CONTROL.
AS THE PEOPLE FROM OUR CHURCH STARTED COMING THAT NEXT DAY AND THE PRAYER STARTED I KNEW NO MATTER WHAT THE DOCTOR TOLD ME (WHICH WAS NEVER ANYTHING GOOD), I WOULD JUST REMEMBER GOD'S WORDS...
like.... NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD....NO MATTER WHAT YOUR EYES MAY SEE NO MATTER WHAT YOU EARS MAY HEAR, ALL IS WELL FOR MY GOD WILL FIGHT FOR ME...
THE LORD GAVE US THESE AND LIFTED SO MANY PEOPLE UP AS I WOULD READ THESE TO LEE IN CRITICAL CARE UNIT... PEOPLE WERE ALREADY BEING BLESSED BECAUSE OF LEE.
LEE WAS IN A COMA AT THIS TIME.
WE WERE TOLD THAT HE WOULDN'T COME OUT OF OR HE WOULDNT COME OFF THE BREATHING MACHINE HE WAS ON.
WELL WE KNEW OUR GOD WOULDNT LET THAT HAPPEN.
SO WE STARTED PRAYING NOT FOR A BIG MIRACLE BUT FOR A SMALL ONE THAT GOD WOULD GET LEE OFF THE MACHINE AND LET HIM BREATH ON HIS OWN...
WHICH HE DID IN 3 DAYS.
GOD WAS SENDING PEOPLE TO MY SISTER AND ME TO WITNESS TO AND ALOT OF THE TIME OUR LITTLE ROOM WHICH WAS A WAITING ROOM BECAME A PLACE WHERE WE WOULD PRAY IN A GROUP AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD STRENGTHEN US.
THE LORD SENT US PEOPLE FROM NEW YORK TO WITNESS TO AND SHARE OUR BELIEF.
THERE WERE SO MANY GOD WAS TOUCHING THROUGH THE SWEET SPIRIT OF LEE WHICH WAS WRAPPED SECURELY BY HIS LOVE FOR JESUS CHRIST THAT WAS HIDDEN DEEP WITHIN HIS HEART.
I LEARNED TO STAND ON GOD'S WORD THROUGH THIS.
I ALSO WITNESSED, TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT GODS WORD IS ALWAYS TRUE.
....Like....THAT FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN.
AT THIS TIME WITH THE HUMAN EYE THINGS LOOKED PRETTY DISMAL. BUT WITHIN OUR HEARTS, WE KNEW THING WERE GOING TO BE BETTER.
WITH GOD WE WERE RIGHT WHERE HE WANTED US.
I RECALL ON THE RIDE TO THE HOSPITAL THE NIGHT OF THE ACCIDENT.
MY SISTER PRAYING BECAUSE WE DIDNT KNOW FOR SURE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AT THIS TIME.
SHE TURNED TO ME AND SAID, "HOLLEY, LEE IS GOING TO MAKE IT BUT HE HAS A LONG HARD ROAD AHEAD OF HIM."
WOW!!! WAS THAT THE TRUTH.
BUT GOD HAS WALKED THAT ROAD WITH LEE FROM THE MOMENT IT HAPPENED.
WHEN THE THERAPIST WOULD SAY SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN ONE WAY THE LORD WOULD DO IT ANOTHER TO LET US KNOW HE WAS STILL IN CONTROL.
THE DAYS WENT BY AS MY FAMILY AND I WERE THERE TO PRAY AND SING AND WAIT FOR LEE TO RESPOND, TO COME BACK FROM HIS COMA....WE HELD ON TO THE FAITH AND THE WONDERFUL PRAYERS OF MY MOM, WHO PRAYED SO MANY FOR LEE, BEFORE SHE BECAME REALLY SICK, WHICH LEE WAS IN THE REHAB CENTER.
I HAD TO TAKEN SOME TIME AWAY FROM LEE TO BE WITH MY DAD AND FAMILY, BUT WHEN MY SISTER AND I RETURNED TO SEE LEE AGAIN...I KNEW SOMETHING HAD CHANGED.
IT WAS ALMOST TO THE EXACT DATE THAT MY MOM DIED THAT LEE CAME OUT OF HIS COMA....BUT HER PRAYERS HAD BEEN SUCCESSFUL..
THE LORD HAD DONE ANOTHER MIRACLE ON LEE.
I ASKED LEE A QUESTION AND HE SHOOK HIS HEAD...HE WAS HEARING ME...AND RESPONDING...PRAISE THE LORD!!
MY SISTER AND I WERE SO EXCITED THAT WE JUST STOPPED AND BEGIN CRYING AND PRAISING THE LORD.
IT WAS LIKE HE HAD TAKEN MY MOM HOME, BUT IN RETURN HE HAD GIVEN LEE BACK TO US.
THE LORD HAD INDEED HONORED MY MOM'S PRAYER BEFORE SHE LEFT THIS WORLD.
THIS WAS A MIRACLE, BUT IT WAS JUST A BEGINNING AND NOW WE HAD TO WATCH AND SEE EXACTLY HOW MUCH OF LEE GOD WAS GOING TO GIVE BACK TO US...
LEE, AT THIS TIME STILL HAD A TRACHE IN HIS THROAT, AND A STOMACH TUBE FOR HIM TO EAT.
LEE LOST ALOT OF HIS MEMORIES FROM HIS HEAD INJURY AND ALSO MOST OF THE MOBILITY IN HIS ARMS AND LEGS.
BUT...WE SOON LEARNED THAT LEE HAD NOT LOST ANY OF HIS MEMORIES ABOUT THE LORD OR THE SONGS THAT HE HAD LEARNED ABOUT JESUS.
HE ALSO DEVELOPED HIS OWN FORM OF SIGN LANGUAGE IN WHICH TO COMMUNICATE.
AFTER BEING IN A COMA FOR TWO AND A HALF MONTHS, HE STILL HELD ON TO HIS TRUE LOVE, JESUS CHRIST.
THOSE MEMORIES WERE IN HIS HEART AND NOT IN HIS HEAD.
THE LORD HAS BLESSED SO MANY PEOPLE THROUGH LEE, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE WAS IN REHAB AND HE GOT TO SHARE JESUS WITH MANY HURTING PEOPLE, BOTH FAMILYS AND PATIENTS.
LEE'S ORDEAL LASTED FROM FEBRUARY 1992 TO DECEMBER OF 1994...AND GOD HAS MADE HIM A LIVING TESTIMONY AND A MIRACLE ANGEL....
LEE IS AMAZING PERSON WITH LOVE JUST POURING OUT OF HIM FOR EVERYONE HE MEETS.
HIS ANSWER TO EVERYONE IS...."LETS PRAY!" OR "TELL GOD!"
THE LORD HAS GIVEN LEE TRUE PEACE AND HAPPINESS OVER ALL OF THIS, AND NO MEMORIES OF THE NEGATIVE WHICH IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL....
