How Are You Doing?

With my entire lower jaw being broken in pieces and smashed out the back of my head along with one of my lungs being deflated leaving me barely able to breathe on my own, many thought that I would not live. Not long after I walked out of the hospital, several persons encouraged me to write my story. For nearly twenty years I wrote of my experiences in hope to be an encouragement to those who may read of my search for faith.

Not long after I walked out of the hospital, several persons encouraged me to write my story. For nearly twenty years I wrote of my experiences in hope to be an encouragement to those who may read of my search for faith. When I awoke from my coma, I had a prayer in my heart to be able to help people in the same way that I needed help. Nearly fifteen years later, I enrolled in a college program for physical therapist assistant. Working at a nursing home directly after finishing my schooling, I took a random phone call from a recruiter looking for help at the first hospital where I was taken after my head-on crash with the semi years earlier in the town where I went to high school. I went to the interview and was hired to work there. After nearly two years I became acquainted with a therapist who encouraged me to travel with therapy work as a way to share my book with others. I do that now as I attempt to share my book with you.

When God asked David how he was doing, he answered but he didn't have any hope for change. A head-on collision into a semi put David into a coma, but God gave him another chance. Walking out of the hospital a new man, he now attempts to share his life as a testimony of the power available to us through Jesus Christ. You know the feeling - the sense that there has to be more to life than what you know. You desire that your life would be filled with purpose, worth, value, and meaning. That is where David started. There was a deep cry from within him that was calling for a full life, running over with honest, loving relationships. This was propelled by an uncontrollable hunger for faith which pushed him to know and understand God in ways he neither dreamed nor thought possible. This has been and is David's journey to discover God's divine purpose for his life. I know this of him, for I am his father and Pastor. Dr. David G.
