  Hospital Overcoming Obstacles Prayer

  A WALKING MIRACLE

  God has the final say; it has always been that way in my life. It has been nine months since the doctors gave me a poor prognosis. I had an accident and fractured my hips. For a young person, the recovery process is quick, but not for an elderly person like me, who is 86 years old. When I arrived at the hospital, the doctors considered emergency surgery, but after analyzing all my conditions, they said it was not possible. Surgery would put my life at risk. I have hypertension, ischemic heart disease, endothoracic goiter with tracheal displacement, and bronchial asthma.… Read More

  GOD’S AMAZING GRACE

  I’ve been blessed to be calling basketball games on radio for the University of Alabama since 2002. And, I have to pinch myself when I say this, but I recently became the Voice of the Crimson Tide football team. But if it wasn’t for God’s amazing grace, I wouldn’t be here to enjoy this ride. Three times in a 16-month period, I experienced serious health battles which almost took my life. In 2018, my family woke to find me in bed incoherent in a fetal position. We don’t know how long I had been in that state. I was taken to St… Read More

  Loss Of Loved One Overcoming Obstacles

  STILL STANDING BY HIS GRACE

  Growing up in the Bible Belt, in a small town in North Carolina, faith was always a part of our home. God wasn’t just someone we talked about on Sundays, He was the center of everything. But everything shifted the day tragedy struck. I was 11 when my dad was in a terrible car crash just down the road from our house. He clung to life for a few days, but then doctors told my mom she had to make an unthinkable decision—to turn off the machines that were keeping him alive. It felt like our entire world shattered in that… Read More

  Hospital Overcoming Obstacles

  BATTLING CANCER

  I was 21, when the doctor uttered the words that changed everything: “You have cancer.” I had gone to the hospital after weeks of unexplained fatigue, fevers, night sweats, weight loss, skin changes, and strange lumps. The diagnosis? Stage 1B Hodgkin lymphoma. I remember sitting frozen in the doctor’s office, watching my mother’s tears fall beside me. I was supposed to be worrying about exams, not chemotherapy. Despite the initial shock, I made a conscious decision to view that day with optimism. After months of not knowing what was wrong, at least I had an answer. That day marked the start of… Read More

  Overcoming Obstacles Verbalizing the Gospel

  JESUS HOLDS ME UP

  Six feet tall and a force to be reckoned with, my mom raised five children, alone, on very little money. While pregnant with my brother, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. My grandmother pressured her to terminate the pregnancy, but my mom refused. After giving birth, she started driving 100 miles for regular chemotherapy sessions, taking my siblings and me along. On these trips, my mom followed the tradition of buying us fancy drinks at a gas station, hoping to distract us from our difficulties. One time, the car overheated, and she prayed aloud: “I just need to make it to the hospital!”… Read More

  Overcoming Obstacles Recovery

  WEATHERING THE STORM

  My husband traveled for work, but his job let me stay home with our son. After two years of marriage, we found out I was pregnant with our second child. Shortly after, he went on one of his trips, but he cut all forms of contact, and didn’t return. I became frantic, trying to figure out what had happened, and found he had been unfaithful. I packed our bags and moved in with my parents. I emailed him, telling him I knew, and offered him a chance to explain. He responded by saying it was over, that he was unhappy, and there… Read More
