Welcome Back!
00:00:12.35\00:00:13.32
You know I just want to assure
people with the cancer thing.
00:00:13.33\00:00:16.50
I keep getting better.
00:00:16.53\00:00:17.72
My doctor doesn't know why
00:00:17.75\00:00:19.00
but I think it is because
there was one point I called JD
00:00:19.03\00:00:21.83
here at 3ABN and said, JD
I need prayer because I just
00:00:21.86\00:00:25.26
got told I have cancer and
I meant for JD to pray for me.
00:00:25.29\00:00:30.61
He sends it out on the
3ABN prayer line so 5,000 people
00:00:30.64\00:00:36.05
emailed me that night.
00:00:36.08\00:00:37.25
From all over the world,
Cheri I am praying for you.
00:00:37.28\00:00:39.93
I'm thinking JD sent it on
the prayer line, but the prayers
00:00:39.96\00:00:44.00
were amazing.
00:00:44.03\00:00:45.00
I really think God has His
hand on it and it is amazing
00:00:45.01\00:00:47.47
to me every time I go into
the doctor she's like you are
00:00:47.50\00:00:50.27
getting better, whatever
you are doing keep doing it.
00:00:50.30\00:00:51.88
So if you have been praying,
keep praying and know that I
00:00:51.91\00:00:55.08
have not even been sick.
00:00:55.11\00:00:56.24
I hope to stay that way,
but I also found out from God
00:00:56.27\00:01:00.76
I learned that I can trust Him.
00:01:00.79\00:01:03.31
If I have to deal with
any of this at any level,
00:01:03.34\00:01:06.06
I am beginning to
feel like I can trust Him.
00:01:06.09\00:01:08.51
He knows what He is doing
and He knows how I need to heal.
00:01:08.54\00:01:11.63
He is also coming back and I
am okay so I just want to assure
00:01:11.66\00:01:15.29
people that I'm
fine with all this.
00:01:15.32\00:01:18.07
Now I want to introduce
you to some friends of mine.
00:01:18.10\00:01:20.24
Daphne and Dahlia I wanted
to say thank you for being
00:01:20.27\00:01:24.58
on the program.
00:01:24.61\00:01:25.71
You are welcome!
00:01:25.74\00:01:27.19
This program in particular,
when something happens in your
00:01:27.22\00:01:32.82
life that is pretty intense,
How do you deal with that?
00:01:32.85\00:01:36.06
How do you stay connected to
God? How do you still trust God?
00:01:36.09\00:01:39.94
The first time I heard you
guys story I said what really
00:01:39.97\00:01:43.36
I have really been through
nothing, I haven't even been
00:01:43.39\00:01:47.12
sick, I just got blood
work or a blood test that says
00:01:47.15\00:01:50.67
this so I want to share,
you to share a little bit
00:01:50.70\00:01:53.52
about where you have come from
and what you guys went through.
00:01:53.55\00:01:57.67
My Name is Daphne Brown and I am
from Fort Lauderdale in Florida.
00:01:57.70\00:02:05.47
This is my daughter Dahlia
who in 1996 met an almost fatal
00:02:05.50\00:02:14.61
accident on the
19th of September.
00:02:14.64\00:02:17.98
So you were a
college student right?
00:02:18.01\00:02:21.45
Just finished
college, just started to work.
00:02:21.48\00:02:24.65
Every thing was normal,
you were from Jamaica living in
00:02:24.68\00:02:28.55
Florida, great
family, nice church!
00:02:28.58\00:02:32.85
Yes, everything
was going just good.
00:02:32.88\00:02:36.78
On the morning of September
00:02:36.81\00:02:41.76
19th, I work the 11 to 7 shift
and called my daughter about
00:02:41.79\00:02:46.87
6:30 in the morning and
she Momma I just wake up,
00:02:46.90\00:02:50.84
and I'm studying my
Sabbath School lesson.
00:02:50.88\00:02:53.14
I usually wake her up in the
mornings, I call her just before
00:02:53.17\00:02:58.56
She went to work and she didn't
call me after when she reached
00:02:58.59\00:03:02.99
work so
actually I went to sleep.
00:03:03.02\00:03:04.18
While sleeping I heard somebody
on the answering service
00:03:04.21\00:03:11.13
say Mrs. Brown. I
didn't pay attention because
00:03:11.16\00:03:14.17
planning, I had another church
sister to wake me up later on
00:03:14.20\00:03:19.08
to go to a seminar.
00:03:19.11\00:03:21.33
I said, when I wake up I
will listen to the message.
00:03:21.36\00:03:27.03
Then I heard a
terrible knock on the door.
00:03:27.06\00:03:29.78
I said, who could that be
knocking on my door so loud?
00:03:29.81\00:03:33.24
So when I went out I
saw the police and he said,
00:03:33.27\00:03:36.86
are you Mrs. Brown?
00:03:36.89\00:03:38.48
I said yes. Do you have a
daughter by the name of Dahlia?
00:03:38.51\00:03:40.78
I said yes.
00:03:40.81\00:03:41.97
Well she met in an accident
and they need you to get
00:03:42.00\00:03:46.14
to the hospital.
00:03:46.17\00:03:47.52
I said how bad is the accident?
00:03:47.55\00:03:49.17
He said I don't know but I
would advise you to get there
00:03:49.20\00:03:52.61
as soon as you can.
00:03:52.64\00:03:53.76
So as he is speaking,
what were you feeling?
00:03:53.79\00:03:57.22
I don't know if I could
have held it together as a mom
00:03:57.25\00:03:59.80
because I would know
00:03:59.83\00:04:01.05
I just sensed that the
Holy Ghost came over me.
00:04:01.08\00:04:04.87
About 2 to 3 feet away was a
telephone hanging on the wall.
00:04:04.90\00:04:11.32
Cordless, I ran to the
phone and grabbed the phone.
00:04:11.35\00:04:15.28
I dialed my pastor's number
which was Pastor Leroy Labort.
00:04:15.31\00:04:19.19
I said, Pastor the police is
at my door and from what I hear
00:04:19.22\00:04:24.47
Dahlia met in accident.
00:04:24.50\00:04:26.03
How bad is she? I
said, I don't know but
00:04:26.06\00:04:28.02
just call and pray. He
said, Sister Brown I have
00:04:28.05\00:04:31.74
an appointment for
10:00, I cannot come.
00:04:31.77\00:04:35.02
I said, Pastor, you do not need
to come, just call on as many
00:04:35.05\00:04:37.75
members as you
can, tell them to pray.
00:04:37.78\00:04:40.72
Because from what I hear
only prayer can save her.
00:04:40.75\00:04:44.23
He said, well the
associate pastor, I will ask
00:04:44.26\00:04:48.15
Pastor Maxwell to come
and see you at the hospital.
00:04:48.18\00:04:52.03
Then by the time I put down
the phone to call somebody else,
00:04:52.06\00:04:57.76
the phone rung, one of her
work brothers called and said,
00:04:57.79\00:05:03.33
Mom, what happened to Dahlia?
00:05:03.36\00:05:04.69
She is not at work.
00:05:04.72\00:05:06.23
I said, well Dahlia had an
accident, police at the door.
00:05:06.26\00:05:10.63
Put this on the pager
system over head sound,
00:05:10.66\00:05:14.40
tell everybody to pray because
only prayer can save her now.
00:05:14.43\00:05:17.39
So your first reaction,
because of your trust in God,
00:05:17.43\00:05:19.83
is I said, I have got to
get everyone praying? Yes!
00:05:19.87\00:05:23.06
And you know what is amazing
to me, I believe even with
00:05:23.09\00:05:26.02
cancer, with accidents, with
things that are happening with
00:05:26.06\00:05:29.83
our kids, that prayer is
incredible, it is a gift that
00:05:29.87\00:05:33.61
God has given us. Yes!
00:05:33.64\00:05:34.62
He said, I promise
prayer is important.
00:05:34.66\00:05:36.96
You just knew that,
everybody is praying now.
00:05:36.99\00:05:39.69
So you go to the hospital?
00:05:39.73\00:05:42.90
By the time my church sister,
which is 2, 3 doors down,
00:05:42.94\00:05:48.68
I called her and
said, Sister Morris,
00:05:48.72\00:05:50.22
Dahlia is in an accident,
00:05:50.25\00:05:51.48
I'm going to the
hospital, can you follow me?
00:05:51.52\00:05:53.62
She doesn't drive, I am
the only one who drives.
00:05:53.66\00:05:57.24
The police said, do
you need me for help?
00:05:57.28\00:05:59.44
I said no, I can manage.
00:05:59.48\00:06:01.13
I was calm and cool.
00:06:01.16\00:06:02.74
Let me just ask
Dahlia, I want to ask Dahlia,
00:06:02.78\00:06:06.43
When all this happened,
did you get into your car
00:06:06.47\00:06:10.09
to go to work? Yes!
00:06:10.13\00:06:11.70
Do you remember any
part of the accident?
00:06:11.74\00:06:13.35
No, the last thing I can
remember is going to, coming to
00:06:13.38\00:06:18.41
College BCC, from
there on it is blank.
00:06:18.45\00:06:20.08
Okay, so not any of it? No!
00:06:20.12\00:06:22.72
Isn't that sometimes
a gift from God? Yes!
00:06:22.75\00:06:26.28
So even at the hospital
you are unconscious? Yes!
00:06:26.31\00:06:30.09
So when you get
there she is unconscious?
00:06:30.13\00:06:32.30
Yes, so when I reached
the hospital I saw this nurse,
00:06:32.34\00:06:36.23
her name is Andrea.
00:06:36.27\00:06:37.28
She saw me walking, she said
are you Jamaican? I said yes!
00:06:37.32\00:06:41.65
From the look of her she looks
Jamaican and she said there is
00:06:41.68\00:06:45.98
she is upstairs
doing CT of the brain,
00:06:46.02\00:06:48.44
but there is a
family room over there.
00:06:48.47\00:06:50.55
You may want to go
and call some friends.
00:06:50.58\00:06:52.85
By that time
Pastor Maxwell was there.
00:06:52.88\00:06:55.08
Two other church sisters who
I had called as I was putting on
00:06:55.11\00:06:59.97
my clothes and walking up
and down like a mad person.
00:07:00.00\00:07:02.65
The phone, the cordless phone.
00:07:02.68\00:07:05.66
I said, you don't need to come,
all you have to do is pray.
00:07:05.70\00:07:10.22
But everybody still
came, so two church sisters,
00:07:10.26\00:07:13.91
Sister Kid, now Pastor Maxwell,
00:07:13.94\00:07:16.95
and Carlos, that
is her work brother.
00:07:16.99\00:07:19.68
So we all went to the room and
had a season of prayer there.
00:07:19.72\00:07:24.53
Then after that I took up
the phone and called my church.
00:07:24.57\00:07:29.35
My prayer partner, and
said Sister Norma, Dahlia was
00:07:29.39\00:07:33.23
in an accident, pray, call
as many people you can find.
00:07:33.26\00:07:36.37
pray for me.
00:07:36.40\00:07:37.37
Then she said who is there?
00:07:37.39\00:07:38.55
So she told me it was her
daughter that was the nurse
00:07:38.58\00:07:41.18
in charge, in
the emergency room.
00:07:41.21\00:07:43.76
Then she said she is out
of CT now, do you want to go
00:07:43.80\00:07:50.49
and see, no she can't,
she is not cleaned up yet.
00:07:50.52\00:07:57.14
She said yes her mom is a
registered nurse she can take it
00:07:57.18\00:08:00.09
Then we all went up and
I run beside her and said,
00:08:00.12\00:08:03.66
Dahlia, Mommy's here
and she love you, hold on.
00:08:03.70\00:08:07.21
You are not going to leave me.
00:08:07.25\00:08:09.57
And the church stand beside
me and said she can't hear.
00:08:09.61\00:08:13.87
I said, yes,
yes, she is hearing.
00:08:13.90\00:08:16.53
Dahlia, I love you,
I love you, I love you.
00:08:16.57\00:08:18.60
When you walked
in what did you see?
00:08:18.64\00:08:20.62
Because it was a
serious accident?
00:08:20.65\00:08:23.36
She was covered
in blood all over.
00:08:23.40\00:08:26.04
One side there was a bad
cut, that fell on her car.
00:08:26.07\00:08:30.45
Car got out of control
and go over the other side.
00:08:30.48\00:08:34.35
There was a truck with a
basket that fell on her car.
00:08:34.39\00:08:38.23
They had to cut her out.
00:08:38.26\00:08:39.62
Her right face was smashed,
her left face was smashed.
00:08:39.66\00:08:46.03
Her left arm had a fractured
bone crushed up in there.
00:08:46.06\00:08:52.39
Her left lung was punctured.
00:08:52.43\00:08:54.84
So by this she
was on a ventilator.
00:08:54.88\00:08:57.23
She was covered in
blood, she was not touched yet,
00:08:57.26\00:09:01.08
she just went to CT.
00:09:01.11\00:09:02.39
So what is real interesting to
me is as a mom when you pulled
00:09:02.42\00:09:06.26
in, when you ran in you
said all I need is you to know I
00:09:06.30\00:09:10.10
am here and I love
you and you will be okay.
00:09:10.13\00:09:12.83
What you are saying Dahlia, is
even with that you didn't know
00:09:12.87\00:09:18.24
anything yet? No, I
didn't know anything.
00:09:18.27\00:09:19.38
Everybody is praying still? Yes!
00:09:19.41\00:09:23.30
Everybody is praying.
00:09:23.34\00:09:24.96
I go to a church, at the time,
there was about 800 members.
00:09:25.00\00:09:29.18
Then all of a sudden I
see people I don't know here.
00:09:29.21\00:09:33.17
People here, but I saw
people coming in one by one.
00:09:33.20\00:09:38.29
One by one, by that time
it was about 10, 11 o'clock
00:09:38.33\00:09:42.33
in the evening, by 3:00 in the
evening almost the whole church
00:09:42.36\00:09:45.38
was there.
00:09:45.41\00:09:46.40
So you felt
totally supported? Yeah!
00:09:46.44\00:09:48.97
Completely loved.
Yes! and that is why I say,
00:09:49.00\00:09:54.01
it is wonderful to be a
part of the family of God.
00:09:54.05\00:09:57.72
I didn't want to leave at night,
and the nurse said, don't make
00:09:57.75\00:10:01.48
sense, you are not allowed
in ICU, because she was in
00:10:01.52\00:10:06.03
surgical ICU, and I and
her little sister who was 14 at
00:10:06.06\00:10:10.54
the time, and there
were two people left with us.
00:10:10.58\00:10:14.58
We were sitting there
until about 1 o'clock.
00:10:14.62\00:10:18.56
The nurse said, it don't make
sense, she is not going anywhere
00:10:18.59\00:10:23.47
now and if anything we
will call you, so we went home.
00:10:23.50\00:10:26.54
When I reached home that
night, the answering machine was
00:10:26.57\00:10:29.57
knocked out, I had
messages from all over world.
00:10:29.61\00:10:33.92
From Germany, from Australia,
from Jamaica, every capital
00:10:33.96\00:10:41.32
from America here.
00:10:41.35\00:10:42.58
people, you know it spread
like wild fire and months after.
00:10:42.62\00:10:47.97
You know what I love about
that, is a time where I believe
00:10:48.01\00:10:51.06
that sometimes when things hit
us we don't thing we are even
00:10:51.09\00:10:53.93
going to make it, and there
is part of a ministry in the
00:10:53.97\00:10:57.34
body of Christ, are people that
love you that says right now
00:10:57.38\00:11:00.72
she just needs to
know that we are here. Yes!
00:11:00.75\00:11:04.40
We can't do anything, we can't
say anything, nobody is going
00:11:04.43\00:11:08.99
to be able to get in
that hospital bed with you.
00:11:09.02\00:11:10.72
Nobody is going to be
able to change any of that.
00:11:10.75\00:11:12.41
Except we need to
know everybody is here.
00:11:12.45\00:11:15.38
Everybody is praying, everybody
is on the same page as far as we
00:11:15.42\00:11:21.53
want her life spared.
00:11:21.56\00:11:24.13
Yes! and you know on the way
to the hospital, we were at a
00:11:24.16\00:11:29.51
certain spot and I
still remember everyday I pass
00:11:29.54\00:11:31.89
that spot, I turned to my
church sister beside me and
00:11:31.92\00:11:34.84
said, you know sister Morris,
if I go to the hospital because
00:11:34.88\00:11:38.58
until then we didn't
know how bad the accident was.
00:11:38.62\00:11:40.91
But the police said, just
reach there as quick as you can.
00:11:41.31\00:11:43.51
I said if I go to the hospital,
and Dahlia is still alive,
00:11:43.55\00:11:47.08
she is not going to die.
00:11:47.12\00:11:48.50
That is what you felt the
sign was going to be? Yes! Yes!
00:11:48.54\00:11:51.79
I want to know how long
was she in the hospital?
00:11:51.83\00:11:56.09
How long was she unconscious?
00:11:56.13\00:11:58.80
She was in a comma for three
months, she came out of comma
00:11:58.84\00:12:06.38
but she didn't
know what was happening.
00:12:06.41\00:12:07.84
She was talking and saying
things she didn't know because
00:12:07.88\00:12:11.25
my mother came to see
her and she didn't know.
00:12:11.29\00:12:13.92
My sister went to see her, she
didn't know, the doctor said she
00:12:13.95\00:12:16.95
was still in a comma.
00:12:16.99\00:12:17.98
She was talking and would
be talking like me and you,
00:12:18.01\00:12:20.21
but she was in a comma that
doesn't keep her unconscious.
00:12:20.24\00:12:25.84
She didn't know
what was happening.
00:12:25.87\00:12:27.69
She doesn't
remember any of that.
00:12:27.72\00:12:29.47
So you don't remember any
of that coming out and talking
00:12:29.51\00:12:32.70
to someone? No!
00:12:32.73\00:12:33.70
Not anybody
coming in the room? No!
00:12:33.71\00:12:35.13
When did you start to understand
or remember, or connect?
00:12:35.16\00:12:44.01
Maybe about February, September,
January, February there about.
00:12:47.44\00:12:53.93
My mother came there in December
and my sister, from Jamaica.
00:12:53.97\00:13:00.43
She did not know
they came and left.
00:13:00.46\00:13:03.45
I remember my mother come
and say, Julia, we use to call
00:13:03.49\00:13:06.98
her Julia, see said who
am I, she said, grandma.
00:13:07.01\00:13:11.00
Oh which grandma?
Cecilia, from Rosefield.
00:13:11.03\00:13:15.46
That is where she is from.
00:13:15.49\00:13:19.85
When everything was finished
she didn't remember seeing her
00:13:19.88\00:13:23.58
and saying those words.
00:13:23.62\00:13:25.34
There was a point in the
hospital where she actually died
00:13:25.37\00:13:29.58
wasn't there? At one point?
00:13:29.61\00:13:31.32
It was, yes, it was about
6 days after she went to the
00:13:31.35\00:13:37.24
hospital, she got Merca.
00:13:37.28\00:13:40.32
Her recovery would have been
much faster if she didn't get
00:13:40.35\00:13:44.26
Merca, and Explain what that is?
00:13:44.29\00:13:46.32
Merca is a germ that is acquired
when you spend long in hospital.
00:13:46.36\00:13:54.70
For too long a time, but she
was there so it was transmitted
00:13:54.74\00:13:59.79
from somebody going in there
with some dirty instruments
00:13:59.82\00:14:05.16
or whatever, but she also
had a Craniotomy for evacuation
00:14:05.19\00:14:10.50
of hematoma, she
had several surgeries.
00:14:10.53\00:14:14.45
She had eye surgery, she
had reconstruction of her face.
00:14:14.48\00:14:17.86
So they had to
reconstruct things?
00:14:17.90\00:14:20.54
Yes, they had to reconstruct
the whole left side of her face.
00:14:20.57\00:14:26.72
She had her arm still has some
rods in there that was put in.
00:14:26.75\00:14:32.87
So when she developed the Merca
she had temperature over 104
00:14:32.91\00:14:39.69
degrees, so she had to
be in a cooling blanket.
00:14:39.73\00:14:43.71
So that set back her progress.
00:14:43.74\00:14:46.15
So now I want to talk
about, they are doing all these
00:14:46.19\00:14:51.55
surgeries, the doctor's are
there with you every minute.
00:14:51.58\00:14:55.58
Your church family is
with you every minute.
00:14:55.62\00:14:58.71
Definitely you are
with her every minute. Yes!
00:14:58.75\00:15:00.44
Now you are starting to come
out of that and starting to be
00:15:00.48\00:15:05.35
aware of your surroundings
and those kind of things.
00:15:05.38\00:15:06.74
You ended up going into rehab
too, so tell me a little bit.
00:15:06.78\00:15:11.21
Then you aware of what was
happening? Did you understand,
00:15:11.25\00:15:15.65
Dahlia, the
extent of your injury?
00:15:15.68\00:15:17.69
Yes, my mom explained to
me, I didn't fully grasp it.
00:15:17.72\00:15:25.39
Being the oldest child of 3,
it was like I was a baby again.
00:15:25.43\00:15:33.18
Exactly! That was
hard to deal with.
00:15:33.21\00:15:36.26
What did you mean baby again?
You had to learn everything
00:15:36.30\00:15:40.54
again right? I had to
learn everything again.
00:15:40.57\00:15:43.90
I mean from taking a
shower, to cooking a meal.
00:15:43.94\00:15:47.20
I had to learn everything, I had
to learn how to redress myself.
00:15:47.24\00:15:51.37
How to comb my hair.
00:15:51.41\00:15:52.38
Exactly, how to walk, put
one foot in front of the other.
00:15:52.39\00:15:54.99
How to not cross your
legs, in case of falling over.
00:15:55.02\00:15:59.31
Even, at the time I lived
in a house that had steps,
00:15:59.35\00:16:03.98
Somebody would have to be
there guiding me up the steps,
00:16:04.01\00:16:08.61
and when I was coming down.
00:16:08.65\00:16:09.94
To me, when you say that kind
of thing, like when they told me
00:16:09.97\00:16:13.98
I had cancer, I was just shocked
about that, is when you know
00:16:14.02\00:16:19.84
you have to learn everything,
how did you deal with the anger
00:16:19.87\00:16:25.66
of that, the unfairness of that?
00:16:25.69\00:16:27.80
I have a younger
sister and at the time she was
00:16:27.83\00:16:31.64
in medical school. Right!
00:16:31.68\00:16:34.27
I learned from Rehab how
to do it again, she helped me
00:16:34.31\00:16:43.72
every morning I would
make her late for school.
00:16:43.75\00:16:48.45
Sometimes! Right!
00:16:48.49\00:16:51.20
She went to Rehab
and she told them that?
00:16:51.23\00:16:56.81
Dahlia can't do it,
with God Dahlia can do it.
00:16:56.84\00:16:58.70
said Dahlia can do that.
00:16:58.74\00:17:00.10
I said, you don't do that?
It's like your own spiritual
00:17:00.14\00:17:09.12
growth, you learn
one step at a time.
00:17:09.16\00:17:12.28
I had to learn to drive again.
00:17:12.31\00:17:13.82
How to cook again, it just your
life is on a building block.
00:17:13.86\00:17:18.11
Starting all over again.
00:17:18.15\00:17:19.84
And fight for your own recovery.
00:17:19.88\00:17:21.62
Did you every feel like,
because you said, I went through
00:17:21.66\00:17:25.81
the depression, I went through
anger, I went through all that
00:17:25.85\00:17:29.97
stuff, I am
learning little tiny things.
00:17:30.01\00:17:31.74
I am learning how
to button my shirt.
00:17:31.77\00:17:33.43
I would be like, I
don't want to learn this.
00:17:33.47\00:17:36.64
But I want my shirt buttoned.
00:17:36.67\00:17:38.08
Do you know what I mean? Yeah!
00:17:38.11\00:17:39.45
So you have to do it
and that is what's...
00:17:39.49\00:17:41.55
That is what she was doing.
00:17:41.58\00:17:42.75
You have to say do it.
00:17:42.79\00:17:43.94
So you fought
through that? Yeah!
00:17:43.97\00:17:45.78
When you fought through that,
was there a point where all of
00:17:45.81\00:17:50.18
a sudden you began to get a
sense of getting yourself back?
00:17:50.22\00:17:54.55
Yes, I after going through
Rehab, my goal was to go back
00:17:54.59\00:18:02.95
to work again.
00:18:02.99\00:18:04.12
What kind of work did you do?
00:18:04.16\00:18:06.38
I worked as a physical therapist
in the state of Florida.
00:18:06.41\00:18:09.67
That's huge.
00:18:09.71\00:18:11.55
When somebody says right now
you are learning how to button
00:18:11.59\00:18:15.03
your shirt, you're saying I
was a physical therapist? Yes!
00:18:15.07\00:18:18.48
So you were very competent? Yes!
00:18:18.51\00:18:22.86
In your life that you did,
you had all the schooling stuff
00:18:22.89\00:18:26.06
and now you are saying my
goal is to get back to work.
00:18:26.10\00:18:29.23
Exactly! Did you?
00:18:29.26\00:18:30.32
My goal was, and I
am back at work now.
00:18:30.35\00:18:33.29
I love that!
00:18:33.32\00:18:35.02
I am working as a registered
physical therapist now.
00:18:35.06\00:18:38.54
I was in a comma, I had memory
loss, but I am working physical
00:18:38.58\00:18:42.90
therapist assistant now, PTA.
00:18:42.93\00:18:45.08
So you are in the same field?
Same field yes, only thing I
00:18:45.12\00:18:49.60
am not doing is evaluations.
00:18:49.63\00:18:50.75
But when somebody actually needs
the work done you can step in?
00:18:50.79\00:18:55.86
I can do it, Yes!
00:18:55.90\00:18:57.23
Do you help someone that
ever been in an accident?
00:18:57.27\00:19:01.95
It is different from accidents,
I do knee injuries, shoulder
00:19:01.98\00:19:08.02
injuries, yes, but not
motor vehicle accidents.
00:19:08.05\00:19:11.96
To be a physical therapy
you have different areas.
00:19:11.99\00:19:16.72
So she doesn't do the
trauma, like she was in trauma.
00:19:16.75\00:19:21.44
She doesn't do trauma.
00:19:21.48\00:19:22.94
She does like strokes,
and knee replacement and
00:19:22.97\00:19:30.40
hip replacements.
00:19:30.44\00:19:32.62
So you could have been my
therapist on my hip replacement?
00:19:32.66\00:19:35.61
I would have loved that.
00:19:35.65\00:19:37.22
So fighting, you fought
from this horrendous accident,
00:19:37.26\00:19:43.15
to even come out of a comma
to learning how to, did you
00:19:43.18\00:19:49.04
have to learn to
speak again too? Yes!
00:19:49.07\00:19:50.60
When she was intubated, that
means they put tube into your
00:19:50.63\00:19:58.89
mouth and down you
throat so you can breath.
00:19:58.93\00:20:00.94
After 10 days they had to do
a tracheotomy, that is why she
00:20:00.97\00:20:05.91
speaks like that.
00:20:05.94\00:20:08.46
They put a breathing
tube through her throat.
00:20:08.50\00:20:11.44
So because of that she had
to learn to speak all over again
00:20:11.48\00:20:15.84
when the tube was taken out.
00:20:15.87\00:20:17.44
During that time you
are not able to talk.
00:20:17.47\00:20:20.36
So during that time,
didn't you as a mother want
00:20:20.39\00:20:25.47
to do everything? Yes!
00:20:25.51\00:20:26.92
We didn't get this in, but when
she was there, after the prayer
00:20:26.96\00:20:34.93
thing, I requested
and she had an anointing.
00:20:34.97\00:20:38.21
She was going to one church
and I was going to one and I
00:20:38.24\00:20:44.05
called the Pastor Macline and
Pastor Dalficros and Jim MacLain
00:20:44.09\00:20:49.08
and they said all the family
should come together one Sabbath
00:20:49.12\00:20:53.98
afternoon and he took the elders
from the 2 churches and we had a
00:20:54.02\00:20:58.85
prayer and
anointing service for her.
00:20:58.88\00:21:00.13
I believe what it said in
James 5, is any among you sick,
00:21:00.17\00:21:06.21
let them call for the Pastor
and let them pray over them,
00:21:06.25\00:21:12.26
and the prayer of
faith shall save the sick,
00:21:12.29\00:21:15.72
and the Lord
shall raise them up.
00:21:15.76\00:21:17.58
From that day she had
the accident, until this day,
00:21:17.62\00:21:21.69
I know that it is faith
that has kept her alive.
00:21:21.73\00:21:25.73
Amen, so let me go back to
the Rehab then, because a lot of
00:21:25.77\00:21:30.27
people would say,
is the fight worth it?
00:21:30.30\00:21:33.79
Yes it is worth it.
00:21:33.82\00:21:35.19
In what sense, because
you know what, don't you think
00:21:35.22\00:21:37.79
that a lot of us, we think
00:21:37.83\00:21:40.04
I don't know if I could do that.
00:21:40.07\00:21:41.30
I don't know if that
happened to me, could I do that?
00:21:41.33\00:21:44.78
You're saying absolutely?
00:21:44.81\00:21:46.33
You have to have the
determination to get back to
00:21:46.37\00:21:51.46
were you were before.
00:21:51.50\00:21:52.51
To see that
determination, you will give up.
00:21:52.54\00:21:57.47
My mom always
taught me to never give up.
00:21:57.51\00:22:02.36
That was something
that I could never give up.
00:22:02.40\00:22:04.79
It was tough when I came
out, I had to get somebody
00:22:04.83\00:22:10.03
to take me to school,
to work, it was unreliable.
00:22:10.07\00:22:15.20
Then I got a job again, and
the principles she instilled
00:22:15.24\00:22:19.91
in me, made me go back for
driving lessons all over again.
00:22:19.94\00:22:24.58
After driving lessons
I started to go to Rehab.
00:22:24.62\00:22:27.54
I got to the point where I
said, after going to Rehab,
00:22:27.57\00:22:32.06
I have to work again.
00:22:32.10\00:22:33.28
Then I started working at the
Rehab tech, and they said I have
00:22:33.32\00:22:36.72
to go higher.
00:22:36.76\00:22:37.99
Then I started as a Rehab Aide.
00:22:38.03\00:22:40.87
As you go into that, I assume
because you have difficulty
00:22:40.91\00:22:45.46
forming speech, that you have
difficulty thinking, but you
00:22:45.49\00:22:50.01
your thinking is
coming back just fine? Yeah!
00:22:50.05\00:22:53.71
So my assumption shouldn't be
there? I should ask you, do you
00:22:53.74\00:23:00.06
difficulty processing still? No!
00:23:00.09\00:23:01.56
What I was taught in Rehab,
I like I need to tell Mommy,
00:23:01.60\00:23:06.99
x, y, z, call her something I
would forget, but I would learn
00:23:07.02\00:23:13.80
in Rehab, if you get
notebook write it down if
00:23:13.84\00:23:16.58
you forget it, it is in
your notebook to remind you.
00:23:16.61\00:23:20.20
I still use that technique.
00:23:20.23\00:23:21.88
So what you are saying is
because of the short term memory
00:23:21.92\00:23:27.17
loss is that I have
to write things down?
00:23:27.21\00:23:28.75
So you don't have the luxury
of saying I will remember that?
00:23:28.78\00:23:33.33
Something's I can, some things
I forget, because I forget.
00:23:33.37\00:23:37.89
She always walk with a
little note pad in her pocket.
00:23:37.93\00:23:39.91
If she thinks she is going to
forget it, she writes it down.
00:23:39.95\00:23:43.66
Then is she forgets it,
if she doesn't, she doesn't.
00:23:43.70\00:23:48.68
Okay then let me just ask
you about your spiritual life.
00:23:48.72\00:23:53.66
How did you process
all of this out with God?
00:23:53.70\00:23:59.41
Even me with Cancer I am not
even sick yet and I am saying
00:23:59.45\00:24:04.74
God, what's up?
00:24:04.77\00:24:05.88
So did you have to
process that out with God?
00:24:05.92\00:24:08.61
Yes, at first my
question was why?
00:24:08.64\00:24:13.39
Why and my mom, I said why
did it happen, why didn't I die?
00:24:13.42\00:24:23.05
So the big whys
were right there.
00:24:23.09\00:24:24.89
After I spoke to God for
over two years and He said,
00:24:24.92\00:24:31.65
let Me lead you.
00:24:31.68\00:24:32.65
When I decided to
follow Him the why became,
00:24:32.66\00:24:37.88
thank God I'm alive.
00:24:37.92\00:24:39.75
So to go through that
period of why didn't I just die,
00:24:39.78\00:24:44.75
that is pretty normal? Yes!
00:24:44.79\00:24:46.75
I think about what you have
been through Dahlia with all
00:24:46.79\00:24:52.67
that learning
every single thing.
00:24:52.71\00:24:54.35
I can't even imagine, part
of me thinks I can imagine a
00:24:54.39\00:24:57.81
little bit, but I
probably can't even imagine.
00:24:57.85\00:25:00.19
What does it feel like to
not remember what this is for,
00:25:00.22\00:25:04.16
what this button is for?
00:25:04.19\00:25:06.41
How do you get there?
00:25:06.45\00:25:08.63
What you are saying is
that was about two years?
00:25:08.67\00:25:10.64
Even saying why
didn't I just die?
00:25:10.68\00:25:13.35
Yeah and the Lord said to me
one day, when I was saying why?
00:25:13.39\00:25:19.43
He said, trust
Me I will take you.
00:25:19.46\00:25:23.46
So I no longer say why,
my faith has grown so much.
00:25:23.50\00:25:28.65
I no longer say why, what if,
I know if I have something to
00:25:28.69\00:25:32.90
done, He will be there for
me, and He will carry me through
00:25:32.93\00:25:37.10
whatever circumstance
I am going to go through.
00:25:37.14\00:25:38.69
He will be there beside me.
00:25:38.73\00:25:40.27
And He has been,
He has been faithful.
00:25:40.31\00:25:42.36
He will be and He has been.
00:25:42.39\00:25:44.31
There is no doubt about that.
00:25:44.34\00:25:46.19
Let me ask you, I have
always wanted to know this.
00:25:46.23\00:25:48.84
When you sense that relationship
that is so real that I can go
00:25:48.88\00:25:55.68
through these things, how did
that, what has that change like?
00:25:55.71\00:26:02.24
because you have always had
a relationship with God right?
00:26:02.27\00:26:04.67
But now it seems
like it is way different?
00:26:04.70\00:26:08.48
Yeah, the text in Philippians,
"I can do all things through
00:26:08.51\00:26:10.51
Christ which strengthen me. "
00:26:10.54\00:26:13.60
That text has given
me a lot of strength.
00:26:13.63\00:26:15.69
If I trust in God I know He
will come and do these things.
00:26:15.72\00:26:21.51
My favorite song my Mom use
to sing to me when I was sick,
00:26:21.54\00:26:25.18
Day by day with each passing
moment, strengthen me to face
00:26:25.21\00:26:30.33
my trial here.
00:26:30.36\00:26:31.52
Trusting in my
Father's wise bestowment,
00:26:31.55\00:26:34.15
I've no cause for
worry or for fear,
00:26:34.18\00:26:36.84
So if I know I can trust Him
in everything, all I have to do
00:26:38.36\00:26:41.42
is walk in His steps
and He will cover what ever
00:26:41.45\00:26:44.39
I go through safely.
00:26:44.42\00:26:45.45
Cause you know there are
people in the medical staff
00:26:45.48\00:26:48.45
that when you came in with your
accident I am sure when they
00:26:48.48\00:26:52.56
found out that you were
going back to work, they said,
00:26:52.59\00:26:54.57
this cannot be. Yes!
00:26:54.60\00:26:56.11
They saw you, you
weren't expected to live.
00:26:56.14\00:26:59.03
Yet now you are resuming your
life, with changes for sure.
00:27:00.24\00:27:04.98
Yes, with changes!
00:27:05.01\00:27:06.54
Where she use to work, I
work there sometimes too,
00:27:06.57\00:27:10.83
everybody is so
surprised that she is still in
00:27:10.86\00:27:13.71
the physical therapy field.
00:27:13.75\00:27:15.17
I have church sisters, and
brethren, when they saw her
00:27:15.21\00:27:20.57
first time, they wouldn't go
back because one church sister
00:27:20.60\00:27:24.07
said, you know Sister
Brown, when I saw Dahlia,
00:27:24.10\00:27:26.68
I said even if Dahlia lived,
she is going to be a vegetable
00:27:26.71\00:27:30.65
for the rest of her life.
00:27:30.68\00:27:31.92
That's what most
people were thinking. Yes!
00:27:31.95\00:27:34.11
Nobody can believe, but when
we were leaving the hospital
00:27:34.14\00:27:38.14
the Neuro surgeon did not even
give me an appointment to come
00:27:38.17\00:27:43.26
back and the rehab doctor
said, didn't the Neuro surgeon?
00:27:43.29\00:27:47.33
I said no. He said it is going
to be a long slow recovery.
00:27:47.36\00:27:51.85
I turned to him and said,
Dr. Stull, if God wants it to be
00:27:51.88\00:27:55.32
long and slow it
will be long and slow.
00:27:55.35\00:27:58.45
When I went back in two weeks
with her, he could not believe
00:27:58.48\00:28:01.83
she was the same,
her recovery was so fast.
00:28:01.86\00:28:05.69
So let me ask you as her
mom, I can have a lot of things
00:28:05.72\00:28:10.00
happen to me, but if
Jackie gets a hang-nail,
00:28:10.03\00:28:12.76
I'm wanting to help her.
00:28:12.79\00:28:15.39
You know how we
are with our kids. Yes!
00:28:15.42\00:28:19.16
So with all this going around,
how was your faith, and I'm
00:28:19.19\00:28:24.73
asking that in knowing that the
first thing you thought about,
00:28:24.76\00:28:28.10
even when the police were at
the door, was to call the Pastor
00:28:28.13\00:28:30.76
So your faith was always strong?
00:28:30.79\00:28:32.46
Yes, always? How was it
during this whole thing?
00:28:32.49\00:28:34.68
It was so strong because a
lot of people say it is because
00:28:34.71\00:28:40.10
my faith why
she made it through.
00:28:40.13\00:28:42.25
Because when everybody, I
said she is going to come back.
00:28:42.28\00:28:45.36
She is going to go back to work.
00:28:45.39\00:28:46.97
I never
flinched neither right...
00:28:47.00\00:28:51.67
No and all through this until
this day, it was about 2 months
00:28:51.70\00:28:58.10
after before I shed a tear.
00:28:58.13\00:28:59.60
When I came out of church, after
Sabbath School, I was going
00:28:59.63\00:29:03.14
to see her in the Rehab, a
church brother called and said,
00:29:03.18\00:29:08.13
Sister Brown, how is
Dahlia and I burst out in tears.
00:29:08.17\00:29:11.89
That was the
first time? First time.
00:29:11.92\00:29:13.49
Because why? I just
had a strong faith in God
00:29:13.52\00:29:17.41
He was going to take her through
and all I requested of people
00:29:17.44\00:29:21.66
were prayer.
00:29:21.69\00:29:22.66
But they gave me everything.
00:29:22.67\00:29:24.80
They brought food to the
hospital to me, because I never
00:29:24.83\00:29:28.44
used to go home.
00:29:28.47\00:29:29.67
Because I see all
the tears in your eyes.
00:29:29.70\00:29:34.03
I was in need of
nothing, I'm telling you.
00:29:34.06\00:29:35.20
Hold on, hold on because I
see all the tears in your eyes.
00:29:35.23\00:29:38.57
Is it because you saw the faith
every time you looked at her?
00:29:38.60\00:29:41.24
I knew that was it?
00:29:41.27\00:29:42.96
Every time you looked at your
mom you saw that she was there.
00:29:42.99\00:29:47.55
And strong! It is
important, her favorite
00:29:47.58\00:29:52.00
song is 100, Great
Is Thy Faithfulness.
00:29:52.03\00:29:56.35
When I sing the song, Great Is
Thy Faithfulness, it reminds me
00:29:56.38\00:30:02.68
of how strong she was and
the faith she demonstrated.
00:30:02.71\00:30:08.61
So you were like a
rock to her? Yes! Yes!
00:30:08.64\00:30:11.10
When you were finally able to
let go, you just needed to cry?
00:30:11.13\00:30:18.89
I mean I just needed to let go?
00:30:18.92\00:30:20.66
Yes, but I don't know why,
but it just came out and he was
00:30:20.69\00:30:24.14
standing there and he
commented, Sister how is Dahlia?
00:30:24.17\00:30:28.17
I just burst out into
tears and that was the first.
00:30:28.20\00:30:31.25
Until this day I don't know how
I made it, because I got 2 weeks
00:30:31.28\00:30:35.75
off from work. That's it? Yes!
00:30:35.78\00:30:38.29
I was going in a circle, she was
the hospital here, I work here.
00:30:38.32\00:30:43.12
I come from work, I stop here.
00:30:43.15\00:30:45.70
She her and go home and
get maybe an hour sleep.
00:30:45.73\00:30:48.52
Then I came back to the hospital
and see her, go back to work.
00:30:48.55\00:30:52.67
That's how I went around.
00:30:52.70\00:30:54.20
With a little 14 year
old, I don't know how,
00:30:54.23\00:30:56.81
but God saw us through.
00:30:56.84\00:31:00.74
We had good church
brethren and neighbors.
00:31:00.77\00:31:06.06
I must include neighbors because
neighbors take care of little
00:31:06.09\00:31:09.12
one for me.
00:31:09.15\00:31:10.41
There is a friend of mine that
said the biggest thing that she
00:31:10.44\00:31:14.01
remembered when she
went through a really tragic
00:31:14.04\00:31:16.92
thing in her family.
00:31:16.95\00:31:17.95
It was that people came
around her and she thought she
00:31:17.98\00:31:20.87
remembered the story of
the paraplegic that his friends
00:31:20.91\00:31:23.77
put him on a stretcher.
00:31:23.80\00:31:25.11
She said I needed
stretcher bearers around me.
00:31:25.14\00:31:29.65
For people to almost
carry things for right now.
00:31:29.69\00:31:34.13
You had that for the first
couple years that people came in
00:31:34.17\00:31:37.58
with food, people came in with
support, people came in to just
00:31:37.61\00:31:40.99
let you know we are praying.
00:31:41.02\00:31:42.52
All those things.
00:31:42.56\00:31:43.91
So it sounds like your
faith didn't change much.
00:31:43.94\00:31:48.50
Did it actually grow?
00:31:48.53\00:31:50.79
It grows, it certainly grows.
00:31:50.83\00:31:53.47
Did you ever ask God why?
00:31:53.51\00:31:56.08
I never, I never asked God why?
00:31:56.11\00:31:58.81
How could you say it like that?
00:31:58.84\00:32:01.46
Most people would say why
not, why didn't you ask God why?
00:32:01.50\00:32:05.52
Why my little
girl? Why my child?
00:32:05.56\00:32:08.20
You know, I don't know but
it comes to my mind one time.
00:32:08.24\00:32:15.16
I try to remember, I can't
remember now but it is a saying
00:32:15.19\00:32:22.07
we cannot Lord, that
purpose see, but all is well
00:32:22.11\00:32:27.72
that is done by Thee.
00:32:27.76\00:32:29.40
I said it to my sister, you know
I have know that verse for long.
00:32:29.43\00:32:33.83
It is so easy to say the
first part, we cannot Lord that
00:32:33.86\00:32:39.97
purpose see, but how easy is it
to say all is well when you know
00:32:40.00\00:32:43.77
daughter met in an
accident and could have died?
00:32:43.81\00:32:47.05
But it is true, God has a plan.
00:32:47.08\00:32:50.65
I tell her several time, I have
to be there like a rock for her.
00:32:50.68\00:32:54.26
I said we do not know
what could have happened to you
00:32:54.29\00:32:58.37
if you had not
meet in that accident.
00:32:58.41\00:33:00.42
Maybe you would have
been dead some other way.
00:33:00.46\00:33:02.47
Until then we will never
understand why some of these
00:33:02.50\00:33:06.60
things happen.
00:33:06.64\00:33:07.68
So your saying it is settled
with me that God loves me
00:33:07.71\00:33:11.44
so much, that I know if this
was not part of a bigger plan
00:33:11.48\00:33:15.29
we wouldn't be here? Yes!
00:33:15.33\00:33:17.17
So I want to ask you, how
has this blessed you guys?
00:33:17.20\00:33:24.24
Is there a
blessing that has come out?
00:33:24.27\00:33:27.33
There are lots of blessings
that come out of it to me.
00:33:27.36\00:33:32.62
It makes my faith stronger.
00:33:32.65\00:33:34.73
As the disciples asked
Jesus why it happened to the man
00:33:36.15\00:33:45.43
that was sick, was it his fault
or was it his parents fault?
00:33:45.46\00:33:50.45
He said, that the work
of God may be made manifest.
00:33:50.49\00:33:54.30
This could have happened
to her to convert somebody.
00:33:54.34\00:33:57.50
Who knows who could be
listening to the program,
00:33:57.53\00:34:00.66
going through
something like this?
00:34:00.70\00:34:02.40
We do not know and until then
we will never understand why
00:34:02.44\00:34:07.48
it happened.
00:34:07.51\00:34:08.59
What about you, when I say that?
00:34:08.62\00:34:10.46
You know when I was
sick, most time that she said
00:34:10.50\00:34:14.22
When I was coming out, she said
to me this will be a testimony
00:34:14.25\00:34:20.09
to show others that God is
alive and He still there and He
00:34:20.13\00:34:25.93
still answers prayers.
00:34:25.97\00:34:26.94
Three things, my
faith has grown stronger,
00:34:26.95\00:34:31.22
I was thinking back from
when I was born, but after going
00:34:31.25\00:34:35.46
through this ordeal, He
has taught me how to trust Him.
00:34:35.50\00:34:39.63
We cannot always see what is
done by Thee, I have learned if
00:34:39.67\00:34:46.29
we put our hand in
His and let Him lead,
00:34:46.32\00:34:49.47
He will carry us
through whatever we have to
00:34:49.50\00:34:51.26
go through safely.
00:34:51.30\00:34:52.74
So what you are saying is that
it really did bring you back
00:34:52.78\00:34:56.67
to a stronger relationship with
God, that I need to right now.
00:34:56.70\00:35:00.56
Not that I would like to,
not that I am going to try to,
00:35:00.59\00:35:03.40
I need to put my
hand in Your hand. Yes!
00:35:03.43\00:35:06.86
I need to know that You are God.
00:35:06.90\00:35:10.04
I now know that He still answers
and He still hears our prayers.
00:35:10.08\00:35:17.13
You love your job? Yes!
00:35:17.97\00:35:20.05
You love your
life? I love my life.
00:35:20.08\00:35:21.72
You have a good car? Yes I do!
00:35:21.75\00:35:24.16
The fact that you are driving
again, I think how fun is that?
00:35:26.26\00:35:28.75
You know there is a part of
me that says that would be the
00:35:28.78\00:35:31.23
hardest thing for
me is my independence.
00:35:31.27\00:35:33.99
You are saying the more
healing that happens the more
00:35:34.02\00:35:38.12
independent you
become again? Yes!
00:35:38.15\00:35:39.78
Which was a big deal!
00:35:39.81\00:35:41.37
When they passed me at the
driving school, my momma said
00:35:41.41\00:35:46.30
to me, you are not going
behind a car wheel until I pass.
00:35:46.34\00:35:51.04
I will give you 6 months
of driving lessons, and if you
00:35:51.08\00:35:55.75
drive okay, you can go.
00:35:55.78\00:35:58.18
So even though you got
okayed by the state, your momma
00:35:58.21\00:36:01.15
was saying, no?
00:36:01.18\00:36:03.23
How fun are you?
00:36:03.27\00:36:05.28
You are saying I
am not losing her?
00:36:06.66\00:36:10.09
So what was real interesting
is the love she has for you.
00:36:10.13\00:36:13.57
She says just
drive with me for awhile.
00:36:13.60\00:36:15.75
So she did the 6
months and you said Okay?
00:36:15.78\00:36:17.86
Yes, I was let her drive with
me some time and then I drove
00:36:17.90\00:36:25.09
with her and let
her drive alone after.
00:36:25.12\00:36:27.81
Short distance she goes, but she
still doesn't go the highway.
00:36:27.85\00:36:31.22
She drives with a
phone. She bought me a phone.
00:36:31.25\00:36:36.81
And I have a phone?
So we keep in touch.
00:36:36.85\00:36:40.29
She would call me and say,
I get so frightened sometime.
00:36:40.33\00:36:46.28
God forgives her
little foolishness.
00:36:46.31\00:36:49.09
Somebody go near to her
and she nearly hit the person.
00:36:49.13\00:36:53.19
The person swinged over
before, she called me crying.
00:36:53.22\00:36:57.25
I said, don't do that, you're
going to kill me with that.
00:36:57.28\00:37:01.38
This man nearly run into
me, I said wait until everything
00:37:06.16\00:37:09.70
is finished and then call me
because I would die with her.
00:37:09.73\00:37:13.96
What is really interesting to
me is those are very real things
00:37:14.00\00:37:18.19
that we all would
have to go through.
00:37:18.23\00:37:19.47
The fact that you guys are
on the program and share those
00:37:19.50\00:37:23.43
with us, I want to say
thank you and God bless you with
00:37:23.46\00:37:26.70
all that.
00:37:26.73\00:37:27.70
Your recovery
is still happening?
00:37:27.71\00:37:30.25
It is still happening,
and I want most important.
00:37:30.28\00:37:35.16
I have a brother and a sister.
00:37:35.19\00:37:36.16
Who's standing, my brother
is, both are younger, but they
00:37:36.19\00:37:42.58
stand behind me.
00:37:42.61\00:37:43.75
If I have a
problem, I can call them.
00:37:43.78\00:37:46.00
I am going to do surgery some
time next month, for my eye.
00:37:46.03\00:37:51.69
They are behind me.
00:37:51.72\00:37:53.37
We didn't get to
that, she lost one eye.
00:37:53.40\00:37:57.56
It wrecked all of her face.
00:37:57.60\00:37:59.18
Left side of her
face was all lifeless.
00:37:59.22\00:38:03.10
She has a plate and
everything that is in there.
00:38:03.14\00:38:05.84
Then she lost the eye, so she
had inoculation that is taken
00:38:05.88\00:38:10.15
out of the eye.
00:38:10.19\00:38:11.43
She has a false eye now.
00:38:11.66\00:38:13.32
There is some problem with it,
you can see the difference when
00:38:13.36\00:38:16.98
it was put in at first you
couldn't, so she is going to
00:38:17.02\00:38:19.93
have a surgery.
00:38:19.96\00:38:21.66
So you still are not done
with all the surgeries? No!
00:38:21.70\00:38:23.30
No! Before we
break, we are going on
00:38:23.34\00:38:27.95
break and I want to say
thank you for being on the show.
00:38:27.99\00:38:29.10
Can we close with prayer?
00:38:29.14\00:38:31.10
No problem.
00:38:31.13\00:38:32.38
Dear Father in Jesus
name, Dahlia has been through so
00:38:32.41\00:38:38.96
much and I know that
You are the God of healing.
00:38:38.99\00:38:42.27
I just pray Father a special
prayer for her upcoming eye
00:38:42.84\00:38:46.64
surgery, I pray for the joy
that she has and I love her.
00:38:46.68\00:38:50.97
I love the joy and she has
fought, she has returned back
00:38:51.01\00:38:55.26
to work and is driving again.
00:38:55.30\00:38:56.46
You have kept your hand on her.
00:38:56.50\00:38:57.59
I want with every single
person watching in this program.
00:38:57.62\00:39:01.09
I want to join together
in prayer just saying for her
00:39:01.13\00:39:04.56
recovery, to be 100%,
I just pray for her body.
00:39:04.59\00:39:09.35
Her mind, her spiritual
condition, her whatever.
00:39:09.39\00:39:14.07
The surgery with her face,
but definitely her relationship
00:39:14.11\00:39:17.69
with You, I want to pray for her
mom, I want her mom for my mom.
00:39:17.73\00:39:22.72
I want to just pray for her
strength, I want to pray that
00:39:22.75\00:39:27.16
people still
continue to come around them.
00:39:27.20\00:39:30.17
Continue to uphold
and uplift both of them.
00:39:30.21\00:39:33.12
I want to pray Father that Your
Holy Spirit will fill them up.
00:39:33.15\00:39:36.86
That they may feel the joy of
who You are and that You are God
00:39:36.89\00:39:40.56
I pray that someday when
You come back, when we all are
00:39:40.60\00:39:44.14
completely transformed and
the twinkle of an eye that we
00:39:44.18\00:39:47.68
don't have to
deal with any of this.
00:39:47.72\00:39:48.85
I just want to see them
skipping and dancing across
00:39:48.88\00:39:51.73
the sea of glass.
00:39:51.76\00:39:52.84
I thank you that You are God
and you say comfort one another
00:39:52.87\00:39:56.68
with those promises.
00:39:56.72\00:39:57.69
I pray for that with
every single person that watches
00:39:57.70\00:40:00.52
this program with any addiction
that we deal with that someday
00:40:00.56\00:40:04.28
we will never see these things
again, we will never see car
00:40:04.31\00:40:08.00
accidents, or death, or
addictions or any of this
00:40:08.03\00:40:11.79
stuff that hits us now.
00:40:11.82\00:40:13.13
I just pray Father until
that day give us strength.
00:40:13.17\00:40:17.33
Fill us with love,
in Jesus name, AMEN!
00:40:17.36\00:40:20.17
Thank you for joining us.
00:40:20.21\00:40:22.63
Thank you for
being on the program.
00:40:22.67\00:40:24.69
We will be right
back, stay with us.
00:40:24.73\00:40:26.72
