The next thing I remember was waking up in the ER confused. I could feel blood running down my face. A doctor was shaving part of my head and was suturing the opening. I learned later, I received 32 sutures, with no medication. I was in and out of consciousness.  Another physician came in and told me to look at my foot. It was black. He said he had to set it, or I would lose it. I also remember seeing a bone protrude out of my lower leg. I had an open compound fracture; my foot was torn off and held on by my Achilles tendon. When the doctor set my foot I passed out. I awoke several hours later. I had a long leg cast on and in spite of being heavily medicated, I was in severe pain. My family was at my bedside. I was confused.

The next morning I awoke- I was putting together what had happened. I finally realized I had been in an accident but....... I had this overwhelming feeling of love. Not human love but indescribable Love, unconditional love and acceptance. A feeling I call Love but a spiritual Love. Love that is combined with Peace and Joy and Acceptance! Truly there are no words in my vocabulary I can use to describe this overwhelming feeling. I am not humanly capable of expressing this feeling because there are no words that can portray my experience to our earthly existence. God had told me it was not my time to die. I had more love to give and the only reason for our existence was to give love! That is all that mattered in this world- the amount of Love and Compassion we can share. But I was also filled with his Love- A knowledge that he loves us so much that there is no feeling as strong in this life as "How he adores us, not just me, all of us."  I felt like I was invincible. I had a message from above. I had a glimpse of his indescribable compassion he has for all of us- his children. I felt as though I had to get out of my bed and yell down the halls- "it's ok he loves all of us. You have no idea how much you are loved".

As I laid in my hospital bed , I wasn't sad- I knew what ever was my physical outcome from my accident, something special had happened to me that made my life complete, forever. If I died, it was ok. I was not afraid of anything. I was filled with HIS Love!

I called my best friend who knew me completely and told her about my experience. She cried and I cried. I knew she believed me.  I was very careful about sharing my experience , because I had a head injury and they might attribute it to that. There is no way that had anything to do with my experience. The indiscernible emotions that I was filled with , could not be explained away. I knew God saved my life. I was in a VW and hit by a train. I was pushed about a block down the tracks and then my car rolled into the ditch. Paramedics pried my car open to get me out.  God (which I call my creator) told me it was not time for me to die. I had to give more love in this world. The main reason for our existence is to give Love.  But , He loves us in a way that we can�t compare to anything in this earthly existence. 

I had four surgeries on my leg and my ankle was fused. I divorced my abusive husband and got remarried.  I started a healthcare newspaper and several other endeavors as an entrepreneur. I knew I would never fail! Because employment and money wasn�t IT!  It�s about LOVE!!  My experience changed my life forever.

I know we are here to give LOVE and to help one another.  I have tried to share God�s unconditional , overwhelming , indescribable  Acceptance and Adoration he has for all of us.  I feel  sad for those who will never even research this  belief of being so LOVED!
