If youre reading this........ Thank you JESUS, its FRIDAY!!!!!!! We made it! We thought that someone was gonna have to bay us out of jail but it didnt happen! WE MADE IT! August 1st is forever memorable for me, please read........My testimony of the GOODNESS of JESUS! Its worth the read! On THIS day, 15 years ago (A Sunday), I was living the Single Dad life, raising my two children. We got up and went to the early service at church because it was predicted to be about 100 degrees, so I wanted to go into The House and handle that, come home and straighten up a bit, put some food on the grill and come back in and chill because it was gonna be a scorcher..... Made it home from The Cathedral International after playing the drums for the 6:30 am Service. I had washed and folded our laundry and wanted to vacuum a little bit. Laundry stacked on the bed, vacuuming and I had an 7-8ft mirror leaning against my wall where it had been for years. I vacuumed to the right, went back to the left and something said LOOK OUT! As I turned back, the mirror was falling down at me! My reflex was to shield my face by putting my arm up! I watched as the mirror hit my elbow and shatter like a scene from a movie! I saw many fragmented pieces and one jagged piece as it shredded my right calf! When I looked down, there was a 20 inch laceration in the shape of a horseshoe and the meat was hanging off of my calf! My reaction was Oh man!. I didnt panic, freak out or anything. I remained calm because God was with me! He knew that if Id panicked, I wouldve bled to death because of the severity of this FREAK accident! I grabbed a clean towel, wrapped it around my leg to make a tourniquet and had my kids call 911. Because I knew that I needed emergency treatment, I limped out to my back stairs and awaited the Rescue Squad to make it easier for them.......They arrived rather quickly. The female EMT asked me what happened. I told her and then she says Sir I need to see it. I said Ummm, you dont want to see it. She repeated herself and said Sir, I need to see it so that I know where to take you. I said Ummm, you dont want to see it. She repeated herself and said Sir, I need to see it so that I know where to take you. I said Ok, here you go and released the towel for her to see. Her reaction made me think that I was gonna have to WALK and that SHE would need the stretcher! She nearly passed out! LOL! They put me in the ambulance and I immediately began to pray in the Spirit! I prayed in Tongues all the way from Plainfield to RWJ Trauma Center in New Brunswick. They get me inside and in a room. They gave me Morphine because of the severity of my injury. The first doctor came in, pulled the dressing back, left never to be seen again! Doctor number two, same thing....Number three and four......Mind you that each time the doctors came in, they had pull back the 20-inch piece of meat from my calf, pat it with gauze to see the damage, which they hit severed nerves inside of my leg which caused me to hit the ceiling and bend the rails on that bed! OUCH!!! When Doctor number five came in, before he touched me, I said Listen, if YOU cant do anything for ME, DO NOT TOUCH ME!. He looked at me, checked the wound and said Take him up....... That Morphine had me grooving a little bit as they transported me upstairs for emergency surgery..... Laid out on the operating table, with an increased flow of morphine, I call the Anesthesiologist over.... He says Yes Mr. Mack? I said Come closer please....... He comes closer and I say If I feel ANYTHING when they;re doing what they have to do, Im gonna KICK YOUR BUTT!!! He jumps back and I laugh at him (Its that Morphine yall!). Shortly afterwards, he comes back and stands behind my head and says Count backwards from 100 Mr. Mack. I go Ninetyyyyyy...........zzzzzzz! OUT, done through! Lol! he got that off! After several hours of intense surgery, I awakened with a cast and a boot on my leg. I found out that I severed 4 Muscles, 2 Tendons and 3 nerves in my leg! Over a 125 stitches, inside and out......wow, I did it BIG TIME! Fast forward to the first follow-up to the Dr..... He tells me the severity of my injury and says Youre gonna have to wear a brace in your shoes for the rest of your life and youre gonna have to drag that leg around.... I immediately looked at him and said WHO are YOU to tell ME what I CAN and what I CANT overcome? I BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST and I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH HIM! His face turned red from the shock of my statement and he kinda was like ok... I left out of there determined to watch my God blow this dudes mind! I wanted to know if Id ever be able to play the drums again, so I asked God....... Lord, will I ever be able to play the drums again? He knew that it was my passion....... The following Sunday, my now Pastor, Rev. David Trawick comes to pick me up for church. I sit in the congregation at the 6:30 am service....Hes playing the organ, the choir is singing, but theres NO drums! They Holy Spirit said Get up! I got up, took my crutches and hopped up the stairs, sat down behind the drums. Where my right foot shouldve been, He SHIFTED me and put my LEFT foot on the Kick Pedal! I jumped in on the song with my LEFT foot doing EVERYTHING that my RIGHT foot wouldve done, never missing a beat! HALLELUJAH!!!!!! Pastor Trawick hears the drums, turns around, sees ME, turns back and immediately turns back with this bewildered look on his face! He gave me that huge smile and continued to play. After service was done, Pastor Trawick comes over to me and says Jimmie, you never cease to amaze me! I said Pastor, THIS was ALL God! as we were transitioning into the next service, the other musicians looked at my leg, then at my face, back at my leg and stuttered How, what, uhhhh, immmmm, how did you....????? I humbly pointed upwards and gave God His worthy praise! Not only did He answer me, He SHOWED me! Fast forward.....I worked my butt off in Physical therapy like I was a multi-million dollar athlete! I went HARD for my HEALING! My FAITH was there, so I had to get my WORKS there! Long story short, NO BRACE, and AMAZED Doctor, a TESTIMONY for LIFE of His GOODNESS and Im NOT dragging this leg around! Days where it bothers me, but not like he (the Dr.) predicted it to be for me! HALLELUJAH!!!! 15 years later, Im still healing because its ongoing due to the Muscle, Tendon and Nerve damage, but I got this! Hes a HEALER! I ASKED for a SUPERNATURAL HEALING and i RECEIVED IT because I ASKED FOR IT! So, August 1st, will be forever etched in my heart and if I ever face anything, I look back upon this and I a reassured every single time that my God is AWESOME! HE can do it and He will! Put your WORK to your FAITH and watch Hi do His part! If youve read this far, may He blow your mind with a blessing that you werent expecting and double for the hell that youve endured! Blessings!
