My name is Justin Bartlett. I have a testimony. I am 14 years old and I have a normal sized family with 4 people. When my testimony happened we had lived in a small country town called Wildorado, right outside of Amarillo, Texas. It happened on the morning of September 20, 1996. My brother was taking me to school and he was going to work. He had the cruise control set on 80mph. He then fell asleep and the car moved into a ditch and then the car hit a covert and the car flipped up into the air. I wasn't wearing my seat belt so i flew out of the window. My brother ended up with a few cuts and a bruise were the seat belt was. I wasn't as lucky. I was laying in the ditch and miraculously someone was coming down the road and she was a nurse. She had said that she usually doesn't go that way to work and she is a nurse. She then said that God had told her to go down that road for some reason. She called 911 and medivac came to pick me up. The injuries I had suffered with were a broken wrist, broken right femur, 4 broken ribs, bruised lungs and heart, lacerated spleen and liver, tore intestine, and a slight concussion. I was in the hospital for almost 2 months. About 2 weeks into my stay I started having trouble breathing. They had to put me under and when they did they found out that the iv in my neck had infected the blood. I was under for about two days. The following summer the plate that they had to put in my leg was taken out and I was able to play football that fall. If it wasn't for all the prayers and especially God I wouldn't have made it through. We now live in Odessa, Texas but my brother still lives in Amarillo with his wife and two kids. I feel like I have a great testimony and I am very happy to tell someone about this so they can hear what God can do.
