Is There A God ?
Is there a God ? This is a question that is asked alot in life.
Sometimes one is asked to prove their answer.
This is my answer to both.
Awhile back my Mother was complaining of a headache that
made her dizzy and made her so sick she couldn't move,
after much debate we convinced her to go to the hospital for this.
She was told she had an anurysm in the brain and needed emergency
surgery to save her life.
While the doctors did their test and we waited for her to be better,
I remember that the night before her surgery,I said a prayer.
"God make my moma better"
Well the next day during a 15 hour surgery she had a stroke,
medical science stopped her from dying then,but we were told
that there was no more hope and she was a vegetable.
The family came together to make the choice to discontinue
life support and she lived 1 minute.
On this night I disowned God and all his teachings,
in short I hated what God meant and all he stood for.
My life was turned upside down after this,
sickness,money trouble and family problems.
Some years later my grandmother had a "Massive" stroke
and was in ICU in a stage 3 coma.
For 40 some odd days we watched as the doctors ran test on her,
all concluding that she was all but dead.
I am not sure of the day but we were told she would be dead
in the next 36 hours and for us to make the necessary
arrangements needed.
We called in all the family,mainly her son from Texas,
he drove thousands of miles with the knowledge
that he may not make it in time to she his mother alive.
Upon his arriving at the hospital he went to see his mother.
I went with him, standing beside her bed,her death bed
were;me,my uncle,my aunt and her husband,
my sister and niece.
My uncle said,with tears in his eyes let's pray to
God she lives.
Again I tried but this time my words were,
"God make this woman better,show me
that you want me to believe in you,
let this woman,my grandmother live and I
will believe in you forever."
In that moment my uncle touched her forehead
and she jerked like I have never seen a body jerk.
My uncle then stopped crying and smiled and
said she is better now, God just healed her,
he told me he did.
Well I was hoping he was right and as we were leaving the room
my aunts husband tickled her foot,out of love I guess,
but he did it and her foot moved so far and so fast.
We called in the nurse and showed her,
she called it postering,but I said wait watch this,
and I told my grandmother I had a beard,an ear ring,
and long hair in a pony tail.
My grandmothers face frowned up and she shook
her head in a NO fashion.
My dad also got her to move her toes that night,
with all this the nurse called in the doctors and
more test were run, all comming back with the results
of a person that had never had a Massive stroke.
After 40 some odd days in ICU this woman was moved
to a private room and 2 days later was released
to return home,no signs of a stroke or heart problems.
Her doctor took her off all medication sometime shortly
after this,and he gave one reason she was alive,
and that was a finger pointing to "Heaven."
I am lucky to have witnessed a work from God,
but there were so many questions I had,
so many thoughts.
But had no idea where to find them.
I looked everywhere and I found them on the
internet in a girl named Ginger.
Who's Father just happened to be an elder in his church.
I told her about my refound faith and she said Robert,
both of your prayers where answered.
She explained that what I asked God to do for
my mother was make her better and he did,
by taking her to heaven to be with him.
Now when I am asked if there is a God and to prove it,
I just smile and say,have a seat and let me tell you
about my mother,grandmother and wife.
All of which are miracles of God,
sent to save my soul from Hell.
