We were walking out one day along the canal,behind which we lived. It was a lovely,sunny,peaceful day. My three children were with me and my cousin and her husband. It was a beautiful setting with the parish church on the other side of the canal,surrounded by trees and fields.
Suddenly we heard some boys shouting from a bridge overlooking the canal,''Help!Quick! There's a girl in the water!'' I had been wandering ahead with the younger daughter and my son and older daughter were walking behind with my cousin and her husband. Our older daughter had gone onto a fishing platform beside the canal and slipped in before being noticed by us.
I ran quickly back shouting,''O God,save her! O God save her!'' My cousin's husband was already in the water,frantically trying to get hold of her. It seemed some time before he lifted her up and passed her out to me. She was covered in green slime and weed and seemed lifeless. Amazingly she had not swallowed any water and then a little voice suddenly piped up,''It's alright daddy,I'm not deaded!'
We rushed her home to her mum,who put her straight in the bath and she was 'right as rain' afterward. God had indeed saved her from the water!
When our children were small,we were going to get them ready for school one day. Our son and younger daughter were quick to get out of bed,but our older daughter was not so eager. We left her for a while and after returning to her, encouraged her to get up or she would be late for school. She did not want to and could not get out of bed. 'Come on now,wakey,wakey,it's time to get ready for school!' It soon became evident to us that she was ill and despite prayer could not get out of bed. We called the doctor who had her sent by ambulance to hospital,with suspected virus meningitus.
She underwent lumbar injections and further examinations and was very ill. People that we knew, were praying for her and a minister friend,as well as ourselves and others, prayed for her in the hospital. God answered prayer and after a week she was declared well enough to go home and has had no trouble with that since.
She served ten years in the R A F and is now studying at Bible School,in her third year,for ministry. We believe that God saved her for a purpose and she was saved from the water,but also has been saved eternally,because she accepted God's free gift of salvation and is 'saved to serve.'
QB, thats a wonderful testimony! As an Air Force vet myself, and since she was RAF, She has become one of my favorites and will join my personal prayer list! Praise God for that young lady!

Just got off the phone from my sweet 86 year old mother.Its interesting she phoned me 3 times tonight to add more to what we were talking about.
She was telling me about(which I already knew) about her years when she was backslidden.She always tells me the devil reminds her but she knows shes been forgiven of her sins.
She had been brought up in a good home,raised in the church and went to bible school for a year,she then went on to teaching school.Thats where she started backslidding.She lived in the world for 8 years and then recommitted her life to Christ,my dad 2 days later(he became a minister).This was 58 yearsago.It still bothers her.
Tonight I asked her what was the first thing that happened that you noticed,where it started?She said she went out to some girls house with a bunch of girls,and someone offered her some wine,and she said no thanks.Then they tried to give her a smoke and she said no again.Then one girl said smartly to her "Boy this girl has no bad habits".And then it started.
I had never asked her about that till tonight,we have talked lots about it but not about when she started her rebellion to God.I then said to her,"Mother that is exactly what happened to me,I was teased about been a ministers kid and I just caved and felt pressured".Its intresting cause I didn`t know we had the same experience.
My mother said that she had no excuse,because she had come from such a good christian upbringing.And I asked her what about me,I was too, and I was years in the world.She then said that I had been moved around too much.Then I told her that is no excuse mother,it was the devil,he just attacked us cause he knew we were the Lords and he didn`t want us to be.
Wow I`m so thankful to the Lord that my mom made that choice years ago to serve Him again and raised me to know the ways of the LOrd and prayed for me all of them years.And even though I fell,I`m back with Him,forgiven as if I never ever did it.God is so cool!!!!

That is so awesome Mss and our God is an awesome God! That is simular to what happened in my own life. Peer pressure and just giving in to what I thought to be a "fun" kind of life. So many wasted years when I really thought I was happy. Little did I know (or maybe I did and just ignored it) that the only true happiness and true peace is in Jesus. Thank God for a praying mother who never gave up on me.
Thanks for sharing this...it really blessed me this morning.
