Now while you were
going through this, and you
00:00:04.17\00:00:06.57
contemplated all possibilities,
how did your family,
00:00:06.60\00:00:11.28
what support did you get?
00:00:11.32\00:00:14.12
Well we had family members,
we had friends from all over
00:00:14.15\00:00:20.46
the world, some people were
calling and just could not get
00:00:20.49\00:00:26.76
through on the line.
00:00:26.80\00:00:28.28
The line was
completely filled all the time.
00:00:28.31\00:00:31.40
So some I just went to the
hospital and saw them, from
00:00:31.43\00:00:34.52
England, and all over the world.
00:00:34.56\00:00:36.52
I took them home.
00:00:36.56\00:00:38.01
I had to give up my job
for two years, two full years.
00:00:40.16\00:00:45.60
Alanzo: we are understanding
that you are saying that
00:00:45.63\00:00:50.79
you had support and we
are going to be talking about
00:00:50.83\00:00:55.95
your sacrifices
and all that happened
00:00:55.99\00:01:00.09
in the years after.
00:01:00.12\00:01:01.98
As a matter of fact, we
are going to continue this
00:01:02.02\00:01:06.90
interview with Carter and
Bootie because it was not just
00:01:06.93\00:01:11.21
to see his wife open
her eyes and then a day or
00:01:11.24\00:01:16.28
two after she
walked out of the hospital
00:01:16.32\00:01:18.56
and then that was it.
00:01:18.59\00:01:20.66
They still have
a story to share,
00:01:20.69\00:01:22.74
it was a long process.
00:01:22.77\00:01:24.25
We will talk about that
in our next segment, in part
00:01:24.29\00:01:28.87
two of this emphasis
of dealing with a crises,
00:01:28.91\00:01:34.72
handling a crises.
00:01:34.75\00:01:36.43
Carter, you as and individual,
you have gone through
00:01:36.46\00:01:41.99
this crises, briefly
what would you say to someone
00:01:42.03\00:01:47.52
listening to your
story who might be,
00:01:47.56\00:01:51.61
at this point discouraged?
00:01:51.65\00:01:54.03
Who might be at
this point feel like
00:01:54.07\00:01:56.18
they want to give up?
00:01:56.22\00:01:57.53
Who at this point
might say what's the sense,
00:01:57.56\00:02:00.38
there is no hope?
00:02:00.42\00:02:02.10
Your wife was in a
coma for six long weeks.
00:02:02.13\00:02:06.10
Did you give up
hope? Carter: no!
00:02:06.14\00:02:08.23
So what would you say to
the individual who, no matter
00:02:08.26\00:02:11.40
what the situation is,
they feel like they want to give
00:02:11.44\00:02:14.55
up hope? Briefly!
00:02:14.58\00:02:16.70
First, trust God.
00:02:16.73\00:02:18.78
God is in it with you.
00:02:18.82\00:02:21.60
I discovered that afterward,
and even though I thought
00:02:21.63\00:02:25.65
He wasn't there with
me, God was in it with me.
00:02:25.69\00:02:29.76
I believe now, with all
my heart, the God did what He
00:02:29.80\00:02:34.92
did for a purpose.
00:02:34.95\00:02:37.24
Alanzo: so your
faith carried you through?
00:02:37.27\00:02:38.64
My faith is
stronger in God today,
00:02:38.68\00:02:41.61
then it was when that happened.
00:02:41.65\00:02:44.55
Isn't it amazing, and
isn't it powerful how one can
00:02:50.77\00:02:55.62
allow his crises to
drive him closer to God?
00:02:55.65\00:03:02.25
Unfortunately, there are
some individuals who in their
00:03:02.29\00:03:06.76
crises moment,
they do the opposite.
00:03:06.80\00:03:09.17
When they are going through
their stress, their pain,
00:03:09.21\00:03:11.88
their anger, what ever it
is they are going through,
00:03:11.92\00:03:14.56
it somehow weakens their faith.
00:03:14.59\00:03:17.82
But here we have a classic
example of a real tragedy.
00:03:17.85\00:03:21.24
This is not something
you imagine, not something we
00:03:21.28\00:03:24.63
make light of, it
is a real problem.
00:03:24.67\00:03:29.15
Yet his crises drives
him closer to his faith.
00:03:29.18\00:03:35.73
Dr. June: and that is
what we would like individuals
00:03:35.77\00:03:38.88
and particularly for families
to understand that events
00:03:38.92\00:03:42.00
that are
unanticipated will come.
00:03:42.04\00:03:45.35
But when they do
come there is hope.
00:03:45.38\00:03:48.63
You have got to find a way
to put your hand in the hand
00:03:48.66\00:03:54.22
of a mighty God.
00:03:54.26\00:03:56.14
Because much like He has brought
the Frances's through, and
00:03:56.18\00:04:00.61
they are now celebrating
His goodness, so can you.
00:04:00.65\00:04:04.19
Alanzo: that is so true.
00:04:04.23\00:04:07.69
You are listening and I
hope you haven't let go of your
00:04:07.73\00:04:12.15
hope and your faith, be strong.
00:04:12.19\00:04:15.31
Remember we have part two
and we want you to join us
00:04:15.35\00:04:20.13
on our next broadcast when
we will continue our session
00:04:20.16\00:04:24.91
with Bootie and Carter Frances.
00:04:24.94\00:04:27.89
Thank you for listening.
