THERE WAS SO MUCH WRECKAGE

AND TRACY WAS TRAPPED.

I LOOKED TO MY HUSBAND AND

TRIED TO UNBUCKLE ME SEAT BELT

AND HE STARTED ON FIRE. I

TRIED

TO GETTING TO HIM BUT I

COULDN'T

MOVE. I WAS TRAP.

ON THEIR FOURTH ANNIVERSARY

THEY HAD BEEN HIT HEAD ON BY A

DRUNK DRIVING GOING DOWN THE

OTHER WAY ON THE INTERSTATE.

THE OTHER DRIVER WAS DEAD.

THEY

WERE BADLY INJURED.

IT WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE. I

COULD SMELL THE LEATHER, THE

BURNING FLESH AND I KNEW I WAS

GOING TO START ON FIRE SOON

BECAUSE I COULDN'T BREATHE.

MOTORISTS TRIED RESCUE

EFFORTS TO GET THEM OUT OF THE

CAR.

THEY RAN UP TO OUR CAR AND

ENGULFED IN SMOKE AND FLAMES.

THAT HE BEGAN PRAYING AND MOVED

INTO ACTION AND DID WHATEVER

THEY COULD SPIRITUALLY TO CUE

US

THEY WERE INVOLVED.

I REMEMBER SEEING THE PEOPLE

AND THEY WERE HYSTERICAL AND I

REMEMBER LOCKING EYES WITH A

WOMAN.

THE DOORS WERE SHUT AND ONE

MAN PULLED UNTIL THE WINDOW

CAME

OUT.

THE WINDOW SHATTERED AND

FELL

AWAY. I WAS ON FIRE AT THAT

POINT, MY FACE, MY HEAD, MY

ARMS

AND LEGS -- THEY WERE ALL BURNT

SO I PULLED MYSELF OUT AND THEY

TOOK ME ON THE MEDIAN ON THE

GRASS AND ROLLED THE FIRE OUT

THAT WAY. IN THE MEANTIME

TRACY

WAS TRAPPED IN THE CAR. SHE

COULD FEEL HER FACE BURNING AND

AT THAT POINT SHE -- SHE SAID

SHY WAS GOING TO DIE.

I REALIZED THIS IS IT. I AM

LEAVING AND SO I PRAYED. I

PRAYED. I SAID PRAYERS I NEVER

KNEW WERE IN MY MIND. I SAID

FATHER I PRAY THAT YOU FORGIVE

ME FOR YOUR SINS. THERE ARE

MANY MANSIONS IN HEAVEN AND I

HOPE THERE IS ONE FOR ME AND

PLEASE DON'T LET ME BURN TO

DEATH AND I LOOKED UP AND HE

WAS

THERE. WHEN I SAY HE IT WAS A

HEAVEN SENT PERSON IN AND AT

THAT POINT HE LIFTED ME UP AND

I

WENT WITH HIM. HE PULLED ME

OUT

AND WE GOT FURTHER AWAY FROM

THE

ACCIDENT SITE. AT THIS POINT I

KNOW I LEFT MY BODY. I KNOW I

DID. HE TOLD ME I COULD LOOK

BACK BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO AND

THE MORE WE GOT AWAY FROM THE

ACCIDENT SITE I FELT THE PEACE

AND THE LOVE AND THE LOVE CAN'T

BE EXPLAINED AND TOO FINITE

TERMS AND LOVE LIKE YOU'RE

GOING

HOME. NO PAIN, NO REGRET.

ONLY

ANTICIPATION. THE ONLY THING

THAT MATTER WAS MY RELATIONSHIP

WITH CHRIST AND I FELT I WAS IN

THE ARMS OF GOD, OF JESUS

CHRIST

HIMSELF.

TRACY SAYS AS THEY ASCENDED

INTO HEAVEN SHE SAW HER

GRANDMOTHER WHO DIED WHEN SHE

WAS A LITTLE GIRL.

AND I WAS THRILLED TO SEE

HER

AND SHE WAS THRILLED TO SEE ME

AND SHE KNEW ME RIGHT AWAY AND

I

STARTED TO GO TOWARDS HER AND I

STOPPED AND SAID MEGAN -- WHO

IS

OUR OLDEST DAUGHTER WHO WAS

NINE

MONTHS AT THAT TIME AND I SAID

I

HAVE TO GO BACK. I KNEW I WAS

GOING TO SEE THE FACE OF GOD.

I

KNEW IT BUT I COULDN'T LET

MEGAN

GROW UP ALONE AND WE STARTED

GOING DOWN AND THIS WAS JUST

THE

OPPOSITE OF GOING UP. IT WAS

HARD AND COLD AND FAST AND

PAINFUL COMING BACK.

SHE SAYS HER SPIRIT RETURNED

TO HER BROKEN AND BURNED BODY.

AT THE SAME TIME RESCUERS SAW A

MAN WALK OUT OF THE WOODS AND

UP

TO THE CAR.

AND THEY SAW HIM COME CLOSER

AND CLOSER TO THE CAR AND

SEEMED

TO HAVE A GLOW ABOUT HIM AND AT

THE SAME TIME THERE WAS ANOTHER

MAN PRAYING FERVENTLY FOR OUR

RESCUE AND RECOVERY AND HE SAID

JUST AS THE ANGEL CAME UPON THE

SCENE HE WAS BUCKLED TO HIS

KNEE

BECAUSE HE FELT THE HEALING

POWER OF JESUS CHRIST SO

INTENSELY IT OVER POWERED HIM.

ONE OF THE RESCUERS -- THAT'S

WHEN HE FREED TRACY AND LIGHT

AS

A FEATHER AND POPPED RIGHT OUT

IN HIS HAPPENS. AS THE ANGEL

WAS THERE HE BENT OVER HER AND

PUT HIS HANDS OVER HER FACE.

HE TOOK HIS HANDS AND I KNEW

HE WAS HEALING ME AND SAID

TRACY

EVERYTHING GOING TO BE ALL

RIGHT.

HE LOCKED EYES WITH ONE MAN

IN PARTICULAR AND SAID BE

DELIBERATELY HE SAID TAKE CARE

OF TRACY. NOBODY KNEW OUR

NAMES

AT THIS POINT. TRACY'S PURSE

IS

IN THE CAR BURNED UP. SHE WAS

PULLED UNCONSCIOUS FROM THE

CAR.

I HAD NOT BEEN SPEAKING HER

NAME. TRACY DIDN'T SPEAK HER

NAME SO FOR HIM TO KNOW THE

NAME

IT COULD ONLY BE HEAVEN SENT.

THE MAN WENT BACK INTO THE

WOODS. SOON AFTER THEY

TRANSPORTED THEM TO NEIGHBOR

HOSPITALS. THE NEXT MONTHS

WERE

FILLED WITH PAIN AND

DIFFFICULTIES AS THEY RECOVERED

FROM FRACTURES AND DAN'S

SEVERELY BURNED BODY BUT TRACY

SAID THE PEACE OF GOD WITH HER

WHEN

SHE PRAYED.

IT WORKED BETTER THAN ANY

PHARMACEUTICAL OUT THERE. IT

DID.

THEY RECOUNTED HOW THE CRASH

SHOWED GOD IN THEIR LIVES AND

THANKFUL FOR A SECOND CHANCE IN

LIFE EVEN IN DIFFICULT TIMES.

I RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT GOD

IS WITH ME EVERYDAY THROUGH THE

LITTLEST DECISION HE IS THERE.

GOD WAS THERE FOR US. JESUS

CHRIST WAS THERE FOR US. HE

GAVE TRACY IN PARTICULAR

HEALING. HE USED

WHAT HAPPENED TO US FOR MANY

OTHER THINGS. WE HAD JOY AND

THE CHALLENGES BUT THE JOY OF

CHRIST IS ALWAYS WITH US.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I WAS SAVED

BUT HE FOR SOME REASON THOUGHT

I

WAS WORTH SAVING. I AM VERY

THANK WILL FOR THAT. I REALLY

AM.
