Jeri, how is your son's friend doing? How is your son handling it?
I'm not real happy with my son tonight, Coyote. My husband said he had rededicated his life to the Lord but when I saw him tonight I didn't pick that up in my spirit at all. You cannot fool the Holy Ghost! He is still holding out. So that is something I will need to pray about when I get off here. I cannot sleep tonight and I have been up for quite awhile... I am exhausted. I am hoping getting this story straightened out will help me because I feel undone over what I have just seen and heard from both boys!
This is the latest news: I have been calling my son on his cell phone, ( other than one morning phone call and he wanted to go - he sleeps during the day and works through the night some times - then during day other times ) he didn't answer, I called Don on his cell phone, no answer, I have been trying to make contact with them but I learned tonight they have been working the graveyard shift at their workplace. Don is my sons boss and his best friend. So tonight I told my husband after I got off computer - I am going to lay down, he comes in and says to me, I have to go pick them up and give them a ride to work tonight because Dons' car is totaled. So I said, wait! I need to go with you. This is my chance to talk to them and see them in person as I had the feeling they are avoiding me! Although I wasn't sure why.
So I get in the car with my husband, I am exhausted even then and we pick up my son and then pick up his friend to take them to work. ( graveyard shift ) I see my son first, not a scratch on him just as my husband had told me. Then we pick up his friend and he gets in the backseat. NOT A SCRATCH ON HIS FACE! NOTHING! I said to my son, You told me that Don's face was badly damaged - his face went into the windshield! He said, I know mom! I thought it did because his head was covered in blood! He had glass sticking in the top of his head and the blood was running down his face. I couldn't tell because of all the blood! I thought his face was badly damaged! I said, why didn't you call me back and tell me that his face was alright? He said, I never thought about it! I've had alot going on! Oh my gosh! Coyote! It was all I could do to not say some things but I held my tongue! Then I turn to my husband and say why didn't YOU tell me Dons face was not injured? He said, this is the first time I am seeing him! I went by what he told me when I picked him up to eat! I never saw Don! Oh! Getting second hand information is definitely not the way to go - I am telling you now!
I told my son, I have told people what you told me! And it is not true! He said, sorry. Okay. I gave all of you what he told me the night he was in the accident. I gave the story exactly as it was told to me. No more, no less. Let me move onto what really happened! First? They were both drinking. Neither of them had their seat belts on.
His best friend was behind the wheel and hit the telephone pole at 50 mph. How do we know this? My son had just looked at the speedometer! Then the telephone pole snaps in half from the impact! Next? My sons friends head hits the windshield so hard it shatters glass into the top of his head. He was covered in blood but not a scratch on his face! NOT A SCRATCH I AM TELLING YOU! Then? Then I look at the photographs on my sons telephone - he has one of those smooth screen phones with the big window thing on it. Don't know what they are - fancy - I'm not sure what they are called..
Anyhow I see two very clear photographs of the vehicle. The windshield on the drivers side has what appears to be a slight concave on the glass but it is held together and that concave shape is where his head hit the windshield imbedding it with shards of glass. Still the windshield was intact. The front of the jeep has a V shape where the front end of vehicle impacted the telephone pole. It hit so hard that it snapped the pole in half! I see the second photograph and I see the major damage was to the right side of the windshield! Not the drivers side. My son's side! I say to my son, What is that big hole in the windshield?! Did your head go through the windshield? My son says, I don't think so, Mom, that is where the telephone pole came through! What??!! Don said, yes, the telephone pole snapped in two when we hit it.
A friend here said to me she thought that my sons head must have hit the windshield because it would be impossible for it not to have hit it. Or hit the visor. I think she is right. I think his head went completely through it on impact - with no injuries other than his nose bled for a moment. It hit the top of his head so hard it caused blood to come out of his nose. Then it stopped. Then the telephone pole came through the windshield in front of him. But no bruises to his chest - body - he told me I think I have a bruise on top of my head but I'm not sure. Can you see anything? I looked - he has a very short haircut and I couldn't see anything but it was dark in the car as this discussion took place driving down the road. Listen, I wanted to tell him the LORD saved your lives and neither of you have a scratch on your faces! OR your bodies! Just the top of their heads - my son thinks he maybe has a bruise on the top of his head? Are you kidding me? Oh, yes, God answered my prayers alright! He kept my son from harm and his friend and both boys are so handsome if you saw them? You'd know. Now my sons friend said it was his wake up call. He has learned his lesson. I believe him. My son? Ahhhhhh! God has work still to do on him. I don't listen to what people tell me, I listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying and the report is not good!
Now I know this story sounds incredible - so I asked my son to forward me the photos when he gets wi -fi to send them - he said he needs that to send them to me. Then I will post them on this thread so everyone can see for themselves how bad this accident was! Then I am going to see if the police have photographs of the snapped telephone pole. Then I will show you a photograph of the new phone pole the city had to put up and oh yes! They are making both boys pay for the telephone pole because it was totally destroyed! Good! I will also send photos of both of the boys to Lovebears and Irish Ram so they can confirm to the rest of you - not a scratch - it really happened just that way ---------->and only God could have kept both these boys faces - their bodies - with no seat belts on - protected like this. What a testimony of the power of prayer- the protection of God - the power of what He did - is an absolute miracle!
Other than some glass on the top of Dons head and a bruise my son" thinks" may be there on top of his head but he can't tell - they are perfectly fine. All the way home from dropping them off from work tonight - all I could think of was God? You saved their lives! You saved my sons life and didn't allow any harm to come to him! You saved his best friends life and didn't allow his face to get a scratch! Not a scratch! Thank you, God! Thank you!
That was all I could think of besides being totally in shock over the telephone pole going through the windshield right in front of my sons seat. I'm blown away over this. I cannot even tell you what I am feeling right now. In awe! Awe of God! Awe of his faithfulness! Awe of his hand of protection over my sons life! I'm in awe of the divine favor Jesus has bestowed over my life, over my family, over my prayers! Thank God for an open heaven, people! It is open to all of us! Just live for God! It's reasonable! Trust me!
My husband told me on the way home, God did answer your prayers over Don through Wayne! He told me, Wayne was in the car with Don while Don was driving. The prayers you prayed over Wayne covered Don because they were in the car together. I know this is true because Benny Hinn told me a story years ago about his getting in a plane crash ( a small plane that holds maybe 6 - 8 people ) and he didn't have a scratch either. The people in the plane survived because he was on board. It's the anointing,people. What can I tell you... My son is called to preach but he has been riding on my prayers and taking some things for granted here which is about to change! Seriously change! I have had it! I think I will go soak in some worship music and wind down now... thanks for asking, Coyote. God is awesome. I praise His holy name! - Karen
