Meet Moira

After two disastrous relationships with men, one an alcoholic, the other a gambler, I cried out to God that there had to be a better life than this one. So I started to pray like any mother does. I prayed for God's protection over my children and grandchildren.

​

One day my son phoned me in a distressed voice and said, ''Mum you’ll never guess what has just happened...'' My daughter had been visiting him at his house. She decided to go to the shops, and went outside to her car. The car was parked with two wheels on the path and two on the road. Just as she went to reverse off the drive - her little girl, who was only 20 months old, came running out of the house to retrieve her dolls pram from behind the car. Diane didn’t see her and reversed the car on top of her back.

My son was standing watching at the front door and shouted for her to stop. How she managed to hear him whilst talking to her passengers was a miracle in itself. But she did hear him, and quickly stopped. Another 6 inches and the car would have completely run over her onto her head. Kevin, my son, ran to the car and got this supernatural strength from somewhere and lifted the car off her. She had stopped breathing, but something suddenly triggered a significant memory that meant he could help her. When his twins were tiny, they had suffered from asthma and sometimes had a job to catch their breath. So he remembered his girlfriend saying you should blow in their face and they will catch their breath. This is what he did to my granddaughter, and she immediately started to breath again.

They took her to hospital, x-rayed her, and found she had not one broken bone (praise God). It was like a miracle - how could the weight of a whole car, with people in it, not break any bones? The doctors put it down to the child having supple bones being so young. But I knew it was an answer to my prayers for protection over my family. Two days later the television news interviewed us and showed the tread mark of the car tyre bruised down her back.

At that point I decided that, if God had heard my prayers, I wanted to really know Him. My Christian sister in-law found me a lively church to attend and I soon became a born again Christian. I have now been following the Lord for the past 25 years. How could I ever doubt that there is a God after that! Since then, I have met a good Christian man, Barry, and we have been happily married for 22 years. We were both praying for partners at the same time - praise God!

There are other stories from my and my family’s life that are incredible testimonies to God’s goodness in answering the prayers of His people. I just want to encourage people today to not to give up talking to God and asking Him to change your life. He completely changed mine, and subsequently transformed the lives of some in my family. If you reach out to Him with a humble heart, He will start turning everything around for good!
