Please read this email below. I just received it. Let's lift Ernie up!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello,
I'm Ernie's Beath's mom, Paula. He asked me to write and tell you of the very serious accident he had on the morning of November 14th. He was lifting weights in the middle of the night and a bar with 765 pounds crashed on his face. He was taken to Shock Trauma in Baltimore with multiple injuries. God has been so good and Ernie is going to be healed. Presently, there are questions about whether vision will return to his right eye. He has received many miracles during this time and we ask you to join us in prayer, holding firm to Jeremiah 30:17: "But I will restore your health and heal your wounds says the Lord." We believe God will heal Ernie completely.
Ernie was sent home last Friday to allow the facial swelling to go down so he could have surgery to fix the broken facial bones. After meeting with surgeons yesterday, he has opted to delay the cosmetic surgery so that God may work to restore and heal him.
He wants you to know he is in good spirits and is holding firm to God's promises. He needs your prayers as God works to knit him back together.
Thank you, in advance for your prayers, and may God bless you as you help others in their times of need.
Sincerely,
Paula

Dear God,
I come before you in the name of your Son Jesus, I ask in agreement with Ernie's mother for Jeremiah 30:17. We pray for a complete recovery in this. Be with Ernie and his family. Give them what they will need to aid him, as well as what they will need to heal themselves. Please meet all their needs! I ask this in Jesus name, Amen!

Hello everyone,
Thank you so much for all the prayers and concerns...it means more then you can imagine. I have been at home a little while now recovering and am in good spirits. I have chosen to not take the surgery on my eye and try to let it heal naturally...Its all good, I have great faith that God is going to change me for the best, even better then before. The Lord has been so good to me thus far...pulling me from the 765lbs and allowing me to crawl to get help (my pastor said that a car fell on my face and i crawled away from it...lol)...I probably shouldnt of made it, but I did. I am so thankful of all you great people and how great my family and friends like you guys have been I have no time to concentrate on the loss of the eye at this time because of my thankfulness of all the great things that has happened. God Bless you all and thank you so much...I should be checking often, so if you have any questions about anything feel free to ask me.
You guys are all in my prayers as well and thank you so much.
God Bless,
ernie

Ernie,
Its good to read your doing as well as you are. I pray a complete healing in Jesus name! Friend, you was blessed! God has a great plan for you in all this. Don't miss it! Although God wasn't the author of this accident, He can turn it into something good! Keep speaking words of faith and healing to your body, in the name of Jesus! The word of God says we should and can do all these thing. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord! I really don't know what I can really do for you except pray. However if there is anything I may be able to do from here, If I can I will. Let me know. I'm from Up State New York, about 31 miles North of Syracuse! God Bless,
McQuaid

Mcquaid, thank you so much for that wonderful post...I have been so Blessed...I just got a wonderful report from the brain doc! The Blessings are so wonderful with wonderful people like you praying for me...My family strongly believes that the Lord is going to bring my sight back because of all His wonderful healing verses, we are standing firm on all of them...they get upset when i say that it is not a concern or worry for me because i feel so Blessed, or that I am satisfied and feel 100 percent now...they want me to say I KNOW HE WILL HEAL ME!! and I completely understand there feelings...Thank you again!
btw-my stepfather lived in cooperstown upstate! I am in maryland...
Take care and thank you so much!
God Bless

I am struggling with wanting to lift so bad...I think the Lord is teaching me patience...I fear losing strength and size...well not really fear, but am thinking about it...I am not supposed to lift for a little while, but am thinking of calling the doc and discussing it with her. I really personally dont see any reason why I cant. Funny, she says not to lift anything more then a quart..lol..I just dont want to lose anything, and I dont really think I will...God Willing...
I am so blessed that the Lord has allowed me to be at such peace about this situation...
Say a prayer for guidance and wisdom for me!
Thanks and God Bless my friends!
