This past weekend was a struggle for Ben & I. One of our close friends was electrocuted while he was at work. He got 10,000 volts of electricity throughout his body. It crossed his heart. We were terrified that we were going to lose a friend & we were devastated.
The only thing that we knew to do was to fall down at God's feet & pray. We reached out to everyone we knew to reach out to & asked for prayers. Christian is 19, & just shy of being married for a year. He & his wife have been through a lot already & we begged God to get them through this.
We knew that a lot of times, people die from 120 volts of electricity & Christian had 10,000 volts go through his body. We knew the odds. But we prayed anyways. We knew our God was a God of miracles.
Christian was put on a ventilator & placed in a hypothermic state to rest his body so that his body could begin healing itself. We knew that those 36 hours were crucial to his case. We desperately prayed for healing or a miracle or anything at this point.
The first time that the doctors tried to wake him up, Christian fought his restraints & fought the ventilator so they had to put him back under & wait to try again. We were all nervous, but knew that by him fighting he was at least there in some way.
That night? Christian woke up. He responded to commands. He was able to answer questions nonverbally. He knew everyone that was in the room with him.
I was in the Springbrooke Pool parking lot when Ben told me. I shouted for joy. I praised God.
God woke our friend up. God worked a *miracle* in Christian's life.
Christian is continuing to make progress & God is continuing to move in all of our lives through this.
Right now he & his family & friends need continued prayer. While he's making progress, he still has a ways to go before he's completely healed. But God has proved that He isn't done with Christian yet & that He still has some awesome plans for him.
A woman spoke a prophesy over their lives in the waiting room. It was yet another sign from God that He's got some huge plans for him.
At the end of all of this, I am just so thankful that my friend is still alive & that God is moving mountains for Him. He is showing His faithfulness to us all. He is showing that He truly is the Great Physician. I am so in love with my father.
"...Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." - Matthew 17:20.
