Let me explain; In 1991 I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease and informed at the age of 22 that within 6 months I would have to be on dialysis to remain alive. I had just burried my daughter at her birth due to this problem. I was told I would not be able to conceive again nor bare a live child. I had experienced 4 miscarriages and that stillbirth. I prayed and cried to God. I cannot explain things but here I am 37, and two healthy sons. My renal function is still considered perilous and near failure yet I live each day as well as the one before it. There is no explanation that my doctors can give. I believe God is responsible. This is just my personal journey although some will choose to disbeleive. I am not seeking to convert, but asking if anyone else has had such an experience.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

Ok, now I know why you are so humble and understanding!
Please check my answer to your previous question for near-death experience #1.
# 2 would be the time I fell about 20 feet from a pile of tables in a basketball gym after climbing on the tables (I was a foolish child), because my shoelace got caught in one of the tables and made me lose my balance as I jumped off to descend.
I fell and landed directly face-down, but somehow, my wrist and forearm broke my fall, so I only lost consciousness for a few minutes, and came out if the experience with only a broken wrist.
#3 was the time when I was playing b-ball, jumped over a guy to get a rebound, and he got under me too quickly, pushing me sideways in the air.
If I had jumped only a little bit higher, I probably would have fell on my head, but as it was I fell awkwardly on my right hand and wrist (the same one as above) and shattered the arm all the way up to the elbow.
Needless to say, I survived that fall as well.
There are more stories where those came from, but the point is that there is no other explanation as to why I am stillstanding right now other than the grace of God (like you).

I have not had a medical miracle like that, but I have had several near misses that should have resulted in my certain death, and I am convinced that we will not die before our time.
Once I was in a freeway accident, going around 60 or 70 mph, and I crashed into some construction equipment on the driver's side of the car. I did not have a seatbelt on, and the car was totaled. I walked out without a scratch. When the car was towed home, I had to run into the house and show my mother that I was alive and well before she saw the car. Many people came by the house and asked how I was, and what hospital I was in.
Another time I was in thick traffic, again on the freeway, going about 65 mph, when a truck in front of me (piled high with junk) lost a tire from the top of it's pile of junk. It could have landed right through my windshield, but it hit the ground in front of my car, bounced up and over me, and I just kept driving on, unharmed.
Then, (one more...) I was at a stop light. The light was red, and I was stopped. The light turned green and I proceeded through the intersection. I got right in the middle (I was just pulling away from a complete stop, so I was still going slowly) when I noticed a small SUV coming at me from my left (driver's side) and it looked like he was going fast. I could tell that he was not slowing for his red light, and I had just enough time to tense up before he ran right into my car. I don't remember exactly how, but I was spun around a time or two, and ended up sideways, further down the road. He ended up way off in another direction in a ditch on the other side of the road. My keys were knocked out of the ignition (which caused me to panic), and my first though was "I'm not dead, am I?" And my second thought was "are my legs still attached?" I actually walked away from that one with only two small bruises where the seatbelt was strapped across me. The car was totaled, and from looking (impact on the driver’s side), you would be surprised to learn that the driver was not killed or seriously injured.
I know better than to think I'm "lucky." I am working my guardian angel(s) overtime. (Sorry about that!)
I once read about a lady who could see angels sometimes, and she said that she was at an intersection, and saw a man changing a tire right next to dangerous traffic. She said a prayer for that man, and then noticed an angel standing directly behind him. The angel looked over at her and nodded and smiled. I don't know if that is a true story, but I don't doubt that God watches out for us each and every day.

Praise the Lord for the Lord is great!!!Thank you for sharing this.
I was driving 70 miles/hour on the interstate and I was really tired. I was listening Beth Moore's CD "Jesus,the one and only". I fell asleep for a second or two...I cannot explain this any other way...I collided with an 18 wheeler. No one got hurt. I only had cosmetic damage to my car and I needed to drive home with the spare tire. I can say that it was miracle, considering that there were six lanes.
My bumper was pretty ugly, but I drove with it for couple of years. When people asked me "What on earth has happened to your car?" And when I told them the story, they said "Oh, that is such a small damage." I agreed, but then I started to say that " I just need to have somebody to back into my bumper and I will get the new one" like that was going to happen...but it did.Just month or two later someone backed into my front bumper from the side and knocked if off. And I got the new one.
My story is nothing to compare with your testimony. God bless you and keep you safe!

I have been reckless way to often in my younger life, and last night I lost control of my car and very well could have fallen off an entrance ramp about 60 feet in the air. And killed/injured myself and my boyfriend, who I love dearly.
It scared me horribly, as I remembered the many past incidents which came from a reckless lifestyle that I abandoned.
And everytime God has managed to let me go without a severe injury (a few scratches or bruises). From certain situations that could have certainly meant death.
Often times, there were other people with me, who's lifes I greatly endangered.
I asked God today, why would you always keep me safe and everyone around me who I surely could have killed.
He told me I am supposed to do something in my life, and that he is saving me the pain, horror, suffering, and time lost in my life, that I would incur had I killed someone.
Kinda crazy really,

WOW. That is great!
I had a similar experience. We tried for three years to get pregnant. Once along the way I had a molar pregnancy. The doctor was optimistic that I'd get pregnant, being as I was 28 - still young enough. Anyway, we went trough all kinds of fertility treatment with no results.
I was fustrated and hubby was fustrated. We decided to adopt. I thought if we didn't have a baby in the house soon our marriage would end. It was at this time we were baptized at the Easter Vigil. IT WAS LIFE CHANGING. We were new people that night. We met some really great people that night - who we still are friends with. People we would have never met otherwise. We were so happy and carefree. The world was new.
One week later we were off to Rome. We had a layover in NY and it was annouced the Pope had died. Saddened (we had tickets and badly wanted to hear him speak) we were thankful we would be there for this exciting time. Rome would be buzzing with religious people. I was looking for a miracle.
Upon our arrival in Rome I was very sick. So, with some good ole Johnny walker and heavy doses of Italian (almost but not quite nyquel) I was able to attend a rosary prayer in St. Peter's square. It was awesome! Teenagers dancing and signing psalms. There were groups of other people singing and playing the guitars. They were celebrating the the Popes return home. I listened and prayed the rosary in Italian as best as I could. I had my rosary so at least my fingers could do the walking.
The next few days we stayed in the square. We saw the procession of his body. We waited for hours to see him. As we stood up to begin the line to see him I told God, "I'm here for my miracle". And, and said a little prayer to John Paul II.
Later, in Florence, at the Santa Maria Novella I prayed to Mary. There was a display of Mary and the Christ child. I went to Mary as a mother and asked for her help. Asked that she would pray with me. I lit a candle and went to one of the pews to pray further.
I entered that pew and knelt. As, I began to pray for a baby, once again for the umpteenth time, I heard a sweet soft voice spoke to me, "Why do you pray for the same thing over and over? God has heard your prayer, and he's answered."
I felt sheepish. That the faith I so boldy proclaimed just a few days ago...here I am begging. I didn't have the faith I thought I did. But, I did have faith.
One year later my son was born.
I am convinced that God sent me one of his own angels!

Wow, Debra! Praise God.
Closest I came to death was when my first living daughter was born. Had we lived three or four generations ago, a bunch of us moms would have died in childbirth. Thank God, and hard-working medical personnel, for advances in obstetrical care.
My great aunt has a documented medical miracle. Her doctors sent her home to die with End Stage Cancer. And she was so ready to die, a very godly Catholic woman (who still loves my husband, kids and me even though we're Protestant). Well, relatives came to visit her...and visit her....and she ended up years later, attending THEIR funerals. Drove herself there, too, strong as a horse. Didn't give her license up til she was 85, about 10 years back.

There are more things in heaven and earth than the mind can hold. I have been close enough to be scared a few times.
Read "God Bless you, Mr. Rosewater" by Kurt Vonnegut sometime. We all have a ridiculous, yet sublime purpose to fulfill. Until then, whether the odds are for us, or against us, we will be here.

My mother "Cheated Death" several time and almost had a car crash. I could say that I "Cheated Death" because I left NYC 2 months before 9/11.
