MY TESTIMONY

This is not really a testimony,but in a way,I guess you could say it sort of could be one......It's kind of a reminder to me of how God's faithfulness to me, has always been around in my life....even from the very beginning.It's uncanny how this God of mine loves me!
As a child with Epilepsy,He provided me with parents and a family who saw me through this time.Why He even provided family friends who helped me do activities in a normal manner, when being normal for me was difficult! Doctors;hospitals;EEG's, and pills to last a lifetime were all part of God's plan to be by my side during this time.....
My first biggest disappointment came, when I was not on our homecoming court,my senior year, but God was faithful even then, and answered my very first prayer to Him, in a very definite way, and as childish as it was,I have never forgotten it, or the God who answered it!.........That was 44 years ago!
His faithfulness when Mother and Daddy became divorced after 40 years of marriage was my rock, and my very present help in time of trouble.When my dear,sweet sister,who was 13 years older than the "baby,Becky" died in 1990,He stayed so close to me and gave me some valuable lessons that I would need in a few years.......(Like in 5 years!)
My heavy duty time with God, was all during the 90's, but He was ever faithful,folks, and He always is.
Our son,George was removed from the home in 1992,for a period of two years.
I choose not to dwell on this time,so don't be surprised when I don't talk about it.
At the time,though,I thought this was my own personal "hell on earth." God was faithful even in this,to give me a glimpse at what it was gonna look like for these two years, with out him in the home, for when I was to lose another son for an eternity,just 3 years later.....What a sweet way to show this Mother such a thing.
(George has since married;I have 4 grands, and he has made the Deans list twice).
My husband,David had a massive heart attack in 1993,and was worked on for 45 minutes before the paramedics could bring him back to life. God was so faithful to give him a second chance for "Life"........
Again,God proved His faithfulness to me in 1994,when George was reunited with his brother,just months before I was to go through the worst thing any Mother ever should go through.In April of 1995,David junior was in a car accident, and to have to re-tell all those horrific things was awful for me,but God,"once again" was faithful to His Becky and reminded me that all I had to tell was about God's Sovereignty,when telling about what happened.I didn't need to remember any decapitation,or all the other grueling things......Just that my God was Sovereign and knew that He was only gonna live for 20 years and no more and if God was okay with that,then I could be too.
That one concept has taught me more than anything folks, and has made me more content than anything I know.You don't just get that way,though.You have to abide in the will of Christ constantly! He is so good to me,all the time.
God continued to watch over me when I had my Cerebral Brain Hemorrage in 1996,and provided a top notch Neurosurgeon, and some wonderful recovery with watchful friends and family.My church body stayed by me every step of the way and God in His faithfulness has blessed me in so many ways.I will never be who I was,but then,maybe I am not suppose to be.....huh? The coolest part of this story,was when I moved to Beauforft and needed my doctor's for a hip replacement. God chose the coolest way in the world to find them for me.I was to call the head radiologist at BMH at ask Andy Jackson who the best doctor's were.After introducing myself to him,over the phone,he interupted me, and told me that he was the radiologist that had read my charts at the Aiken Hospital, when I had my brain hemmorage.Now, you tell me, that my God is not a God who is faithful to His Becky!!!........I mean,move Andy Jackson all the way to Beaufort for me!
That's why going in for this surgery two weeks ago, and coming out pain free, even in therapy,doesn't really surprise me, because my God is a God of the tiniest detail and has my bases covered.
He is an absolutely awesome and fantastic God,this God that I love and adore!
Becky
