Answered Prayer #12027
When I was riding my dirtbike, I started doing wheelies. The last time, I started sliding off backward and the rear tire caught me, pulled me forward and wedged me right under the exhaust and near the motor. When the motorcycle fell on me, it’s weight plus my own weight was holding it down on me. I was burning and burning and screaming and screaming but no one was there to help me. I struggled and tried with everything in me to move the bike. I burned the back of my arms and my left hand to the bone. My right hand was one huge fluid filled blister. My chest and stomach were fried and baked all the way to my rib bones. My heart and lungs were saved only by God’s Grace. I keep trying to move but couldn’t and knew it was useless to keep trying. I started to give up and die. I was still crying; screaming and closed my eyes. I didn’t say a long elaborate prayer but from the heart I pleaded “God PLEASE help me”…I used the back of my hand to try and wipe away the sweat and tears and noticed somehow that I was standing up…OUT FROM UNDER THE MOTORCYCLE!!! Because I ask Him from my heart, God answered. He was there the whole time ready to help but I tried to do it my way first. When I gave up and gave it to Him, He fixed everything. Yes, I am still healing and the scarring from the skin grafts is kinda bad…but it is there to remind me of where I was and what could have been if God hadn’t Picked me up. A part of a song that I sing (even before the wreck) says: “Sometimes it’s hard to walk in His footsteps but when I stumble He understands. HE PICKS ME UP, WIPES OFF MY SIN, PUTS ME ON MY FEET AGAIN, Yes He loves me, as small as I am!”
