You know after my last post, I wanted to share my testimony with you ladies. I am truly blessed and I thank God everyday!!! It may get a little long, but I'll try to control it.
Before I was born, my mother had 2 boys - however, God called them Home when they were newborns. Because of this, when my mother got pregnant with me, the doc put her on complete bed rest - she couldn't even walk to the store. 9 months later - I was born at a healthy 8 lbs 13 oz. Anyway, when I was 4 years old (and I actually remember this) my aunt had to come to pre-school to pick me up because I was running a fever. I was vomiting and was just out of it. My parents picked me up and my mother tried to reduce my fever by putting me in an COLD bathtub with a little alcohol (old school thing). When that didn't work they took me to the hospital because I had no reaction to the cold water. Long story short, I was diagnosed with meningitis. The docs told my parents I would not live to see the next day. My parents were devastated! My mother prayed so hard and my father called WLIB (a black owned radio station) and they had prayer over the radio for me. The next morning, my parents were so relieved that I was still alive. However, the docs told them they had to give me another spinal tap and I had a 50/50 chance of living to see the next day. The next day, I was still alive although I was unconscious. The doctors said if I came out of the semi-coma, I would be brain-dead. Ladies, GOD IS GOOD!!!!! Prayer works! Although I was in there for a month or so, I came home and certainly was not brain-dead.

Besides trying to fight back the tears...all I want to say is that God is still on the throne yesterday, today and forever...His name is above all name and He is worthy and rightfully deserving of our praise....Amen
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
Amen!

Thank you so much ladies! He is truly awesome!!! The devil is a liar!!! And you know, God laid His hands on me and healed me! Throughout grade school, I made honor roll from 1st grade - 8th grade. There was nothing wrong with my brain. So, if a family member is in the hospital or even yourself, don't go by what the doctors say! You need to talk to the Head Doctor. I also thank Him for giving me strong parents to fight and pray for me! Thank you Jesus!!!!
Okay, I have to go wash my face now!
AMEN!!!!

With God all things are possible. He is in control and has the final say so.
