"Thank you, Kaua‘i"

A couple of weeks ago, I had a serious, one-car accident which came close to claiming my life.

Immediately after the moment of impact, I was conscious, but in a lot of pain and could barely breathe. (Later I found out that I had broken my sternum, in addition to other injuries). In that moment, I hovered in a strange dimension between life and death, and for an instant, I thought that this was the end of my life.

I rolled out of my car and onto the ground; literally, within a couple of minutes a car stopped and several people got out, coming to my aid. I was in shock, and frightened; they sat down around me, held my hands and started praying to Jesus for my well-being (while waiting for the ambulance to arrive). In those few moments, I found myself calming just a little bit, and felt embraced by a Loving Presence.

Minutes later the ambulance arrived and I was taken to Wilcox Memorial Hospital; shortly thereafter I was medivaced to Queen’s Hospital.

So, I would like to take this opportunity to thank those wonderful people who stopped to pray with me. I found out later that they were from Calvary Chapel. I will forever be indebted to them for their prayers during this powerful time of need.

Additionally, I would like to thank the ambulance emergency medical team which provided such gentle, yet capable and knowledgeable support during my journey to Wilcox, as well to the team that medivaced me to Queen’s Hospital.

I am so impressed with the quality of attention I received during this harrowing experience.

Thank you, Kaua’i, and thank you everyone who assisted me so capably; I send love and infinite blessings to all.
