This is a true story that happened to me that I shared on my facebook. I thought I would put it over here to share as well. Feel free to copy and send on to your friends. I think people need to hear and know that God DOES exist and that God still performs miracles today.
Miracles DO Happen... aka "Cliff Diving"
On March 13th I fell off a cliff in Estes Park, Colorado simply taking pictures with my daughters. When we were done I went to climb down just a few rocks in front of the sign. I wasn't even that close to the side of the cliff, but I slipped on a rock and went down the cliff. (I remember thinking "I'm going to die"). But I survived (obviously :) I remember nothing about the impact (was there one?). I "came to" and found myself sliding down the cliff (with no feeling of the rocks below me).I hit my head on a rock (ouch!),"somehow" flipped over to my back and looked ahead of me to find all rocks and two trees about 7-8' apart and knew I had to maneuver through them or I'd be a goner from the impact! Looking further ahead I saw that there was no end in sight. Just more rocks forever. I "somehow" was able to stop right before getting to the trees (crazy how I was able to, going so fast). Once I stopped I just got up quickly without thinking and just turned around and started climbing up the rocks simply thinking to myself that I need to get back to the top, my daughters were up there. I am NOT a rock climber. I've never climbed rocks and in fact hate those that are in gyms. I miraculously got to the top! Asked Siri (Iphone) where the nearest hospital was and drove 3 miles down the road to an "Urgent Care" (doctor's office - I am pretty sure they didn't realize just where I had fallen from) as there is no hospital in Estes Park. My Examination (which did not include any tests... no x-rays, no CT scans) declared a mild concussion (gash on left forehead). A "pretty bad ankle and leg sprains of my tendons". Not gonna lie that hurt so bad I could hardly walk (on crutches a couple days). I slightly sprained my shoulder on my left side not real sore at all though ( important to remember). That's it!
No scrapes (except my left shoulder) , no bruises! Nothing.
Interesting facts:
1 -Later in the day I found some dirt in my left ear, There was no scrapes on my ear or side of face. Nothing.
dirt inside my bra. No dirt on outside, no dirt on sweater (God has a great sense of humor! :)
2 -I knew my shoulder was sore, but it wasn't until later that I discovered the scrape on my shoulder. My sweater had a little dirt in that spot, no hole, not even a tear in any of the threads!
3 -There are NO holes in my sweater. There are NO threads in my sweater torn. The sweater looks brand new!
4 - Dirt was all over my RIGHT side. Injuries are all on my LEFT side.
5 - No scrapes, no bruises anywhere.
6 - I didn't feel the impact of the fall, nor the sliding down the rocky cliff.
7 - I didn't even feel any of the rocks underneath me. I had no marks indicating I had touched them
8 - My hair had no dirt in it at all. Aside from the hit on my head, it was still in great condition...makeup and hair. :) Not one nail broken (ha! :)
9 - I was somehow able to climb back up the cliff. I did have my hiking boots on (thank God!), but I've never done rock climbing before. Being able to climb up with no problems is unreal as well.
None of what happened makes sense, nothing adds up...
There are probably more that I just can't think of now.
So... for those of you that don't believe in miracles, angels and more specifically God... explain how that all happened.
This is what I know:
I know it obviously is not my time to go.
I know that God saved my life through His grace and mercy.
