"WE GAVE OUR HEARTS TO THE LORD"

YOU MAY GOOGLE CHICKASHA, OKLAHOMA DAILY NEWSPAPER AND READ ABOUT THE

STORY I AM ABOUT TOO TELL YOU. OUR PASTOR, DANNY MARNEY CAME BY THIS

EVENING TO PRAY FOR AMY AND TO TELL HER TO NEVER GIVE UP ON HER

MIRACLE. HE WAS ON HIS WAY BACK TO OU MEDICAL CENTER, PRESBIE

TOWER TO PRAY FOR MIKE TOLLE, WHO WAS GOING TO SURGERY IN AN

ATTEMPT FOR THE DOCTORS TO SAVE HIS LEGS.

HE TOLD US AN AWESOME BUT SAD STORY. IT ONCE AGAIN PROVES THAT WE

MUST LIVE OUR LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME AND AS IF IT IS OUR LAST.

THIS A PICTURE OF ONE OF THREE COUSINS WHO COULD ALWAYS BE

FOUND IN THE COMPANY OF EACH OTHER. THEY HAD SPENT THE DAY AT

THE OKLAHOMA STATE FAIR AND WERE TRAVELING HOME DOWN US HWY 81.

(I HAVE TRAVELED THAT ROAD MANY TIMES)

THEY WERE VERY, VERY, EXCITED ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO THEM

AT THE STATE FAIR OF OKLAHOMA. THEY HAD TEXT A MESSAGE TO

FAMILY AND FRIENDS..............

COMING HOME TO WAUKHOMIS WAS A FATHER DELBERT TOLLE, 69 YEARS

OLD AND HIS SON MIKE TOLLE. THEY HAD BEEN TO VISIT DELBERT'S SON

AND MIKE'S BROTHER WHO HAD JUST HAD SURGERY. DELBERT'S WIFE AND HIS

5 SONS' MOTHER PASSED IN 2005. ONE OF HIS SONS GAVE HIS HEART TO

JESUS AS THE FUNERAL HOME TOOK HIS MOM'S BODY FROM THE HOME.
THE GIRL'S WERE TEXTING, "WE GAVE OUR HEARTS TO THE LORD", WHILE WE

WERE AT THE FAIR. THEIR CAR CROSSED THE CENTER LINE AND HIT

DELBERT TOLLE AND HIS SONS' JEEP CHEROKEE HEAD ON. IT KILLED

DELBERT INSTANTLY AND THE GIRL DRIVING THE CAR. THE TWO COUSINS

DIED UPON ARRIVAL AT THE HOSPITAL.

MIKE TOLLE REMAINS CRITICAL WITH HEAD INJURIES AND HE HAD TO

GO TO SURGERY TUESDAY NIGHT FOR THE DOCTOR TO SAVE HIS LEGS.

PASTOR MARNEY SAID DELBERT WAS A WONDERFUL CHRISTIAN MAN AND

DEVOTED TO HIS SONS. HE ALWAYS WORKED WITH THE YOUTH, ENCOURAGING

AND INSPIRING. HE SAID THAT HIS SPIRIT NO DOUBT WALKED UP TO THE

BEAUTIFUL GIRL DRIVING THE CAR, PUT HIS ARM AROUND HER SPIRIT AND SAID,

"LET'S GO HOME. JESUS IS WAITING FOR US."

PASTOR MARNEY SAID THAT ONE OF HIS SON'S SAID, "DAD IS HOME

WITH MOTHER AND HE IS HOLDING HIS ONLY BABY DAUGHTER THAT

MOTHER MISCARRIED!"

EVERYONE OF THESE PRECIOUS PEOPLE HAD NOT BEEN TOLD THEIR LIFE WAS

TERMINAL. THEY HAD DREAMS, PLANS, AND ONE OF THE GIRLS HAD A 5 MONTH

OLD BEAUTIFUL SON. IT WAS VERY TRAGIC THEY WERE TEXTING BUT PRAISE

GOD FOR THE MESSAGE, "WE GAVE OUR HEARTS TO THE LORD!" IF I WAS NOT

SURE WHERE AMY WAS SPENDING ETERNITY I WOULD BE UNCONSOLABLE AT

THIS TIME AND KNOWING THAT THE BIBLE SAYS EVERY HAIR ON OUR HEAD

IS COUNTED AND OUR EARTHLY SHELL WILL DIE BUT OUR SOUL WILL LIVE ON

FOREVER AND EVER. THE DEVIL COMES TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY.

HE WANTS PEOPLE TO THINK JESUS AND HEAVEN ARE A FAIRY TALE.

I AM NOT A PREACHER AND I DON'T WANT TO EVER SOUND PREACHY OR

PIOUS.........I JUST HATE THE DEVIL AND I WANT NO ONE TO GO TO HELL.....

AND NO, NOT ONE OF THESE SPECIAL PEOPLE KNEW WHAT WAS WAITING

FOR THEM DOWN THE ROAD BUT THEY WERE SPIRITUALLY READY. IF

YOUR CHURCH HAS A BOOTH AT THE FAIR AND YOU HAVEN'T VOLUNTEERED,

THINK ABOUT DOING IT. WHAT AN AWESOME GIFT TO BE USED OF THE LORD

TO REACH SOMEONE FOR CHRIST.

******************************************************************************

AMY WAS VERY, VERY WOBBLY BUT HER WEIGHT IS AT 61 POUNDS

DOWN FROM 63.5 LBS. HER ANKLES AND LEGS ARE SO BONE WITH JUST

SKIN IT IS ONLY A MIRACLE OF GOD SHE CAN WALK AT ALL. TODAY SHE WAS

ABLE IN 24 HOURS TO KEEP 6 OUNCES OF ENSURE DOWN....JUST 6 OUNCES.

AMY RECEIVED 5 PRECIOUS CARDS TODAY AND A BOX THAT IS PRICELESS.

SHE HAS FOOT DROP AND SO SHE WALKS LIKE SOMEONE WHO HAS HAD

A BRAIN INJURY. I STILL SAY SHE WAS NEVER...NEVER RIGHT AFTER

HAVING THE BALLOON TEST TO SEE IF HER RIGHT CAROTID COULD CARRY

THE BLOOD SUPPLY WITHOUT HAVING A STROKE.....THE DAY OF THAT TEST

AMY BECAME BEDFAST....I THINK SHE SUFFERED A SLIGHT STROKE.

***********************************************************************************

I WILL SHARE THE STORY TOMORROW ABOUT A BEAUTIFUL 10 YEAR OLD

SPIRITUAL GIANT NAMED ALEXEY RAE AND HER BEAUTIFUL GRANDMA,

CAROL BRANNUM. YOU BETTER HAVE A BOX OF TISSUES PRESENT BECAUSE

10 YEAR OLD ALEXEY RAE IS MORE SPIRITUALLY MATURE THAN SOME

60 YEAR OLD CHRISTIANS. SHE TOUCHED AMY SO MUCH THAT AMY IS

GOING TO USE EVERY BIT OF ENERGY AND MY HELP TO MAKE A SPECIAL CARD

FOR ALEXEY RAE. IT PUT A FIRE IN AMY THAT HAS LONG BEEN GONE.

CAROL, I LOVE YOU AND ALEXEY RAE.
