A week after my mother's funeral I was involved in a serious automobile accident. The devil wanted to take my life but instead all God gave him was my used car. Heck, he could have it; I got a better one now and an even better one coming in the optimistic future. The Guy who cut me off in traffic and the nice fellow who hit me from the back decided not to hang around to see if I was o.k.
It is astounding how fast things developed; One minute I am at my brothers saying my good byes and deciding it is time to visit my own home for a change. The next I am fighting for precious life. I did every thing I could think of to stop the car from hitting that concrete divider to no avail. Finally, I said well mom I guess I am going to be with you sooner than I thought. I could swear I heard her say
“Why didn't you stay at your brothers?” at this particular point my answer was “You know, we could have had this discussion earlier!”
As I saw the concrete barrier approaching I asked the Lord please do no let this happen. Please do not let me feel this please! Well I felt the IMPACT…and a whole lot of pain. I felt a bone in my arm snap…more pain. My foot hit the structured wall hard I was sure something below my knee was broken too. I prayed that God would just let me pass out. It was then that I thought of my cell…and realized that I left it at my brother's!
I am not sure how much time passed as I sat there in my wrecked Chevrolet Coup, slammed against a concrete barrier on the parkway. Time seemed to stand still as I anxiously waited in a shocked and painful state for someone to stop and help me. What completely blew my mind was that no body stopped; No body cared!

About the Book
We exist in a modern world where peace of mind is obtained with prescription drugs, Psychiatry, and every kind of the aromatherapy that we can think of. I lived in this world until the Lord showed me another way. It is amazing what happens to our hearts, minds and over all well-being when we forgive.
My world was spinning out of control; I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I had banged my head against the wall so many times that my beautiful round face was turning square.
Something had to give...I had to give into him-God.
About the Author
I never thought at the age of 37 I would have the formal title of Author; yet here I am. If it were up to me, however I would still be a closeted writer but the Lord had other plans. It is very important that we share our testimony so that others who are going through adversity understand that they are not alone.
God sometimes allows us to go through the wilderness in order to align us to the will he has on our lives.

I especially want to give thanks to the First Lady of Abundant Life of Whippany, Debbi Arminio who was the first person to tell me to “write it down”. I also want to thank Brother Wayland, Foote whose support and words of encouragement enabled me to continue writing when I felt like giving up. Thank you both.
