- [Narrator] On July 3rd, 2003,

LaTau Martin and herboyfriend drove down I-75

to spend the 4th of July withLaTau's family in Orlando.

It had been raining and LaTau's parents,

Michael and Francina Norman,

along with her sistercalled to check on her,

but there was no answer.

- And I said, "Something is not right."

- [Narrator] When Francina tried again,

this time a state trooper answered.

- He said, "Your daughter hasbeen involved in an accident."

It seems they had toairlift her to the hospital.

And I just started screaming.

- [Narrator] LaTau's car had hydroplaned,

spun out and flipped several times

before landing upside down.

While LaTau's boyfriendescaped with minor injuries,

LaTau was airlifted to theOrlando Regional Medical Center

unconscious and in critical condition.

When her parents' arrived,

they learned LaTau was ina medically induced coma

and was on life support.

- What I saw with my physicaleyes was a death sentence.

- No father's ever imagined

one day to walk into a hospitalroom to see your daughter

in a coma.

- [Narrator] Doctors told them

LaTau had bleeding on thebrain and punctured lungs.

They also said her chancesof survival were slim,

and even if she did live,

her cognitive abilitieswould be severely affected

for the rest of her life.

At once, Francina, a minister,

contacted her ministry partnersaround the world to pray,

believing God had plans for LaTau,

a bright college studentworking towards her law degree.

- And I said, "But God,

I'm looking at you, Jesus, as my friend.

And I want to say to you,if you take my child,

that's gonna hurt me.

So God I need you to heal my child."

A peace came over me, and Iheard the Holy Spirit say to me,

"I got this."

- [Narrator] Seven dayslater, LaTau was back home.

Still, she needed prayer,

as the injury had affectedher short-term memory,

her mobility, and her personality.

- And I was just like,"God, this is so hard,

and I need you to giveher back her memory."

- When I didn't know what to do,

I didn't have the answers,and I didn't remember,

I remembered God, I remembered His Word,

and I remembered who He was.

- [Narrator] Through weeksof therapy, and prayer,

LaTau was able to return to college

to continue her senior year.

Despite recovering nearly40% of her short-term memory,

she maintained an A average.

Then in 2004, 15 months later,

LaTau was in anothernear fatal car accident.

She was with a friend when the tire blew,

causing the car to flip severaltimes, landing in a canal.

Paramedics arrived to findher friend, who was driving,

thrown from the car with minor injuries.

LaTau, dazed, was still in the car.

- When the paramedics came,

I heard them say somethingabout my head and my eyes.

They knew I had another head injury

because I burst theblood vessels in my eyes.

- [Narrator] LaTau wasairlifted to a nearby hospital

with two broken wrists,a broken left forearm,

a brain injury, and a fractured skull.

Doctors said this time,

she likely would not recover her cognitive

or reasoning skills.

- It's something you willnever really get over.

- I said, "What is she carrying

that's going to make adifference with her generation,

that the enemy wanna take her out?"

The Lord began to show me

how she was gonna makea difference in laws,

that she was going to be a judge,

and she was gonna judge righteously.

- [Narrator] After six hours of surgery

on her wrists and forearm,

LaTau faced months ofcognitive and physical therapy.

Drawing on the faith and prayers

of thousands around the world,

LaTau and her family refused to give up.

- It was me and my husband'sresponsibility to war for her.

To make sure that the enemy know

that we going to fightfor every single thing

that's supposed to happen in her life.

- I would have those thoughtsthat I have to accept this.

This is going to be my life.

What if actually my brain's getting worse?

I knew you can't give up.

I have to keep pushing.

I have to keep persevering.

I have to be determined.

And I have to stand on His Word,

and stand on the purpose,and what I'm called to be.

when she earned her law degree

from Southern University inBaton Rouge, Louisiana, in 2016.

- I was thanking God because I said,

It was so emotional.

by the miracle that I've seenmanifested in my own life.
