My Testimony

MY TESTIMONY is fourteen awesome stories. Here are the fourteen story titles with excerpts from each one.

God Saved Me From Drowning In the Mediterranean Sea: I turned and tried to walk away but couldn’t. I tried baby steps. I tried leaning forward. I tried lifting my feet really high in case it was an undertow that I could step over, but nothing worked. I had never before been in a current that prevented me from walking. I did not know what kind of current was holding us, and I did not know what to do about it. Therefore, I began to panic.

God Saved My Life When I Hydroplaned: After hydroplaning backward for a short time in our lane, my car drifted into the other lane. Now we were moving up the road in the wrong lane going backward toward oncoming traffic.

My 2 A.M. Angel in the Hospital With God’s Message of Peace and My New Doctor: The chiropractor hurt my head so badly that sometimes when my tinnitus woke me up after only two hours of sleep, my temples felt like they were in a vice. I would cradle my head in my hands and moan with pain.

My Angel on the Airplane With God’s Message of Hope: Immediately (after praying), I heard the sweetest voice I had ever heard in my life asking, “Are you having trouble with your ears?” … Last I told him that I was concerned about the probability of exacerbated tinnitus and ear pain while landing in such a tiny plane. He said, “I will show you what to do.”

I Was Blessed With Wise Advice For Taking Care of a New Mother: I have used her wise advice five times, and it has worked well every time.

God Gave Me Peace After My Mastectomy: In June 1996, I learned that I had breast cancer and needed a mastectomy. My husband’s and my summer vacation to Montana in our new fifth-wheel trailer with a caravan of four other couples in their RV’s was scheduled to begin within a few days after my surgery. Jerry (my husband) announced that he was going to go without me.

The Holy Spirit Prompted Me To Go to My Mother: My stepfather, John Dalton, who had advanced muscular dystrophy and was unable to walk, was sitting at the dining room table where he always sat every day all day, but my mother was not in her chair.

The Holy Spirit Prompted Me To Take Diane to Her Doctor: She (Diane, our daughter) insisted that she was in too much pain to get up (out of bed), but I put my arms around her, pulled her into a sitting position, had the children put some shoes on her feet, and carefully got her down the stairs. …(At the doctor’s) I opened the door through which they had taken Diane, peeked down the hall, and saw her lying down in the first room with the door slightly ajar. I sneaked in and quietly asked her how she was doing. She said, “Oh, mom! Thank goodness you brought me here!”

The Holy Spirit Prompted Me To Hurry Home to Jerry: (Three weeks after quadruple bypass open-heart surgery) When the paramedics arrived, they said that Jerry was in severe atrial fibrillation and should be taken to Emergency right away.

God Protected Me From Injury When I Fell Off the Bathtub: I will never know exactly what happened next, but I felt a foot slip forward off the edge of the tub. I flailed my arms out finding nothing to grab, and then I was falling backward with nothing to stop me.

God Cared That My Cellphone Was Missing: He (God) saw the lady take my abandoned cart, push it into the dressing room area, and cover my cell phone with a blouse.

God Kept Me Safe At the Grocery Store: However, when I became aware that a car was creeping up behind me, I turned to look and saw a young man wearing a red shirt with white trim getting out of the passenger side of the car.

My Angel in a Department Store With God’s Message About Tithing: One day while shopping in a department store, I saw a cute little colorful knick-knack, picked it up to have a closer look, and put it back where I had found it.

God Led Me To My New Car: I found a chair in the shade in front of the office building and sat there to think. I was thinking that because it was brand new with leather seats, it was a fancier SUV than I needed.
