Happy Easter!
GOD, Jesus Christ and his angels spared my life in what can only be called a miracle.
The spring of 2010 I survived a life threatening motor vehicle accident, a large farm truck I call it a (semi-truck hit) full of cow manure slammed into the passenger door of the vehicle I was sitting in. Sadly, the driver of the small truck I was riding in ran a stop sign, leaving me with a life long disability in a matter of seconds. Before the accident I was trail riding three times a week for 4 hours, I was happy and physically fit.
This disability has left me with the inability to have any core strength. This is a challenge for sure when trying to ride or do anything physical. I suffer from rib spasms, back, pelvis and my feet go numb. Still I am blessed to be here and write to you. GOD is amazing as my husband and me started the Donkey Whisperer Farm ® the summer of 2013.
I was flown by emergency helicopter to Critical Care Hospital in Seattle, WA with life threatening injuries; I remember praying and asking GOD to let me live, I was scared I would die. My injuries can only be called a miracle from God to be alive, God is great, God creates miracles and I am living proof of his great work.
Injuries:
Three surgeries and blood transfusions in two days as I was dying
Eight broken ribs right and left side some in three places
Four chest tubes inserted in-between the broken ribs
Collapsed lung – Difficult to breathe
Grade V kidney Tear – Stint Installed and removed, very painful procedure. Grade 5: Shattered or devascularized kidney, ureteropelvic avulsions, complete laceration or thrombus of the main renal artery or vein.
Pelvic bone shattered three large screws surgically installed as the surgeon told my husband he could bend my pelvis up together like a banana.
Things I am grateful for:
I am most grateful to God for his love, strength, mercy and miracle to save my life and provide me with the opportunity to recover, the strength to endure this pain. I am very grateful to my husband Scott! The team of doctors and nurses that worked on me as they saved my life. Several surgeons told me I am a miracle and blessed to be alive. One doctor asked me if I believed in God and I quickly told him about deep faith in Jesus Christ. I was in intensive care for at least 7 days and the hospital for 12 days. Finally I could go home but once I got home my life was no longer the same as I had no ability to do anything without help and twenty-four hour care in our home not set-up for a person in a wheel chair. Please understand I demanded to go home and with this decision took more work. My husband Scott drove me to Seattle four times a week.
I am grateful to all of the people in my life that helped with our farm, my husband and a close girl friend and her close friend stayed with me day and night in the hospital taking shifts to never leave me alone in the hospital. Food was brought into our home, prayers, cards, calls, text messages, flowers, balloons and so many visits and prayers. In the middle of trauma God created a unique support system for us one only GOD could create.
I was unable to put any weight on my right leg or walk confined to the wheelchair for almost three months I slept in a lazy boy chair with pillows propping me up for at least four months and then the hard work began, physical therapy moving from the wheel chair to the walker, from the walker to the cane and then finally I could walk on my own. I am grateful for my relationship with Jesus Christ as I do not believe I could have physically taken the pain without Jesus holding my right hand. I attended physical therapy three days a week for three years. I wore my equine riding gloves to lift weights. Never Give Up! Today my physical therapy is the farm. The body was made to keep moving. The only problem is when we have a disability we must rest and get up and try again. Never give up, never.
It is my hope that sharing this event will help you believe in Jesus Christ our savior for all things. I have a gorgeous sign in my home a gift given to me by my close friend “Expect Miracles.” I believe that nothing is too big for our God nothing…. This is my testimony for Jesus Christ and his mercy and grace. The car accident has left me with pain and a life long physical disability. Disability is real. Some disabilities cannot be seen quickly, all disabilities are real. I have learned to enjoy my life disabled. Some days are better than others. Each day is a gift from GOD as life is fragile and precious.
Finally I Was Able to Go See My Horse and Donkeys
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

God knows what he is doing. Did you ever stop and think how some people are just placed in our life instantly? How some people are burned out of our life instantly? Its true. God knows what we need before we know what we need. God has a plan and this plan is much bigger than we could ever understand. GOD is the alpha omega the beginning and end. God has counted every hair on our head. God is in control of everything. Nothing happens by mistake. When we understand how GOD works with the universe and his children everything becomes peaceful. God in Jesus Christ name is amazing.
Beautiful Blog. Enjoy!
Seems life is all about waiting, praying, planning and then one day the door opens. Most of the time when we are waiting for a dream to appear we wait years. During this waiting period many things have changed in our personal life, our health, families, and emotions. Visualization is imperative to keeping the dream alive during the waiting period. We simply must keep the dream alive and trust GOD will open the door at the exact moment we are are ready. TRUST IS ESSENTIAL WHEN WAITING ON GOD. God wants us to have faith in him for each and every little thing we desire and need in this world. God knows what we can and cannot do.
“Our minds, (BRAIN) emotions and body is most likely exhausted and yet this is when GOD opens the door to our Dream”
Why? This is exactly where GOD wants us to be. God wants us to need him in our life every moment, day, week and year. God in Jesus Christ name has planted the seed of our dream in our brain and emotions. God created us to be courageous, we are his children, everything we do is for Gods Kingdom and glory. This is called life. God has made us to shine our light bright to help the world. God uses this opportunity to help all of his children. Our stress makes us work harder to reach out and help others. Stress is a good thing in your life.
Helping others is why GOD created us. Each of us has a unique ability and gift. Our world needs all of us to pay it forward and care. Stress will push you forward to do your best. Stress will give you courage to step out and ask for help and help others. Stress gives us direct access to our emotions, heart and mind. Stress gives us empathy and courage we may not have without it.
The door opens and we must pray, wait and trust GOD to give us the funding, resources, people, skills, favor and and patience to not fail.
Stress Can Help You Grow! The key is to not stay stressed. Learn how to relax and enjoy each and every detail of your life. You will never get today back again.
GOD has prepared you for your dream
God bless you and your family two and four-legged!
Thank you Jesus!
New beginnings often spring out of painful endings. Who has not seen a person lose a job, only in time to discover a career? Or lose a relationship, only in time to discover a true and lasting romance? Or lose an exaggerated ego, only to discover an authentic life?
