God has truly blessed me so many times in my life. The one that changed my life and my walk was 07/07/07. I was out late with some people riding my motorcycle and I decided I was going to show off when we went our separate ways late that night. I hit the throttle and I missed the curve and I flew off the road at 75 mph into a tree at about 15 feet in the air. I got tossed about 20 feet from the bike. I laid there with collapsed lungs, broken shoulder, fractured arm, every rib on my left side broke. I thought to myself that if no one found me by morning that I would die there. Then it happened, I asked God to save me and give me the strength to get out of there. In the morning after I had laid there for 4 to 5 hours without any medical attention, God gave me the strength to get off of the ground and climb out of the ravine that I had flown into that night. I was picked up after I got back on the road and rushed to the hospital. My doctor told that I should not have made it through the night because my lungs had collapsed fewer than 30 percent. I told him that it was by God’s Grace that I made it through any part of that accident. Psalm 31. 2-4 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defense t save me. For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me. Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
