Testimony
I feel especially thankful for so many things as I reflect over the past few years.
On August 5, 2003, I had an accident which has become a turning point in my life. The best feeling I can describe for that freaky fall at the very moment in which it occurred is one of total surprise - or more like shock - as I hit the ground in a ‘split second’. ( I really understand that term now).
It felt like I hit so hard that I literally stopped the Earth! Amazingly, through the grace of almighty God, I was not unconscious. You see, He knew that my spirit was crying out for help before I even hit the ground.
He heard my cry for forgiveness and healing as I was lying there (in a bed of briars I might add), unable to move my right arm and right leg. Just moments prior to the fall, I was having a marvelous carefree time of riding through the woods while sitting on the back of a Polaris Ranger.
Well, as the saying goes, what the devil mean’t for harm God used for good. I now have a brand new and much deeper appreciation for things which I had previously taken for granted. For example, I am truly grateful to God for healing me; in fact, it is only by His love, mercy, and grace that I am able to walk, I am able to write and even draw and paint with both hands ( I had to use the left hand while the right one was healing), and I am so very appreciative for the gift of artistic abilities that I received only months before the accident! God is so good-He caught me in His arms when I fell. He always picks me up when I fall. But now, I just appreciate it so much more.
I have just skimmed the surface of all the miracles that God has performed in my life.
When I cry out for Jesus-He is there before I even complete the thought.
What does this all have to do with the paintings and portraits on this website? I’m just giving credit where credit is due.
Sincerely, Diane
