I was born in Prince George's County Maryland.
I was adopted by two wonderful
people who
raised me to be a good Christian
and love the Lord.
My story starts when I was in the
first grade, I believe. I was very sick
and had to be put into the hospital. Funny
thing is the doctors could not
find anything wrong. All the tests run
on me was negative. I was sent
home and began getting better. It was a
puzzling thing for my parents. As I
grew up I told my parents that one night
in the hospital I saw Jesus on the wall
and He was smiling at me with His arms stretched out as if
to touch me. I told my mom that the
picture was so pretty and peaceful and was
told that there was no picture in my room at all.
I was touched that night and was healed!
Later in life I have been touched again
with healing. In 1991, I was found to have
Hydrocephlysis (fluid on the brain). I underwent
10 brain surgeries since that time and almost
left my family. It was in 1995 or 1996 that I
was entered into the hospital, I was
placed in ICU and didn't know where I was
at all. I didn't know how I got there and
must have been out for some time. I
underwent three brain surgeries and was told
that the last one required a very special surgeon
to save my life. During all this time I
was walking down a tunnel to this
very bright light and at the end was
very beautiful. There I saw some of my
family members that have gone on to be with Jesus.
I stopped at the end and there was my Grandparents
(my mother's parents), Jesus and two
of my cousins. Behind them was more of
my family but their faces were not as
clear to me. I wanted to run up and hug
my grandparents and cousins but I could not move.
But I felt peace and love.
Now Jesus walked up in the light that
was all around Him. He spoke softly and
told me that I must go back, my work is not
done here, I still have alot to live for.
I really didn't get to speak for the next
thing I remember is waking up and seeing my
dear husband and saying "Where am I"
and feeling peace and no pain. I am so
happy to be sitting here able to type, think
clearly and to communicate with my two children.
I am so thankful to God for healing me again
in my life. I now live each day as if it
will be my last one. I believe to just keep
on smiling for life is too short and
you never know when your time will come to
go be with our Father in Heaven. Always
remember that there is a God and He is watching over you.
Just a little history of some of the things
that have happened in my life and I will
try not to go on and on. First off, I was given a
great talent in music. It's singing, never had
a lesson in my life and have sung gospel music
at my church I grew up in Bossier City, Louisiana.
The folks there always wanted me to sing and
had many of them in tears after my song. I
give a real feeling to the words I'm singing for
they are so real to me. Sometimes I just can't get
enough for it makes me feel so peaceful and great to
sing the Lord's praises. The old church where I sang and
got married are still asking my parents where is "little Debbie".
You know, talent was given to me by God
Himself and I feel if I don't use it I will loose it.
So when my family is away and I'm alone at home I just
play the piano and sing. I've been playing the piano since I was six
years old and my feet could not even reach the
pedals. Right now my children have a touch of
music in them and also my husbands does as well.
There is one very important thing that I
did not mention before and that is, the man I
married is the best. You know, we met around October 31, 1979 at
a party at my college of Nursing School. He was related
to one of my nursing instructor's. She was trying
to find him someone to date and just came in from Waterford,
Wisconsin where he was to be a Priest but had
mixed feelings as to what if this is what God wanted him to do.
We dated almost a year and was married on December 20,1980.
It was hard on my parents for I was the only child
and my husband was the baby son of four
children with his parents. I have a great relationship
with my mother-in-law and father-in-law. It is just wonderful.
And I truely thank God for them.
My husband is the greatest for
he could of left me years ago for what I have
put him thru but he stuck it out with me. He
is a great father to our two children, now teenagers. He
is truely sent to me by God. I would not be
given a million dollars for him, I really love him so.
We have been married now almost 23 years.
Well I have rattled on here but I feel this is so important
of just what God can do for each of us if we just look to Him
and know that He is looking over us no matter what
race, color or religion. I have to say my
strength and teaching of Christianity was placed
inside me by my parents and I do not think of them
as my adoptive parents, they are my REAL
parents and nothing can change that.
Mom and Dad thanks for everything that you have done for
me as I grew up I owe it all to you and
Our Lord Jesus Christ for molding me into the person I am today.
THANKS SO MUCH!!!
One last thought:
Please believe, there is a God
and don't take advantage of Him.
Know that HE loves you and hears our
prayers. Be patient HE will answer in HIS own time.
GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS MY
STORY AND THANKS FOR DROPPING BY;
