Joy, what an amazing story. Your message that God is good no matter how the situation turns out is so needed. I am so grateful that your husband is on the road to healing. We continue to pray for you! Much love, Jennifer xx
Your husband telling you to stay behind for the good of the family is true bravery as I am sure you are his rock as you've shown many times he is yours (other than faith of course). One of those situation where thank god is literally what sums it all up. Please keep up the gentleness.
Oh sweet Joy, wow! I sat completely immovable in shock as I tried to take in all that you and your husband and family have been going through. I had to pause the video to just process the horror of the actual accident. So many emotions ran through my own body, and my heart even hurt, physically and emotionally as I listened to your update. I will be honest, in my grief over your experience, I initially broke down and questioned why such heart breaking things have to happen to God's servants who have dedicated their lives to serving Him in ways most believers don't. I felt convicted immediately as I know that who am I to question God whose thoughts are way higher than mine and then I was so humbled as I heard your words that no matter what would have happened, God is still good. You are absolutely right. He is. We must simply trust that fact and Him in situations like these even though the pain is still very real and very deep. I am overjoyed that God not only allowed your husband to live through what is truly unlivable, (and even placed upon his path a believing police man who was already ready to be used by our awesome God to help those in need), but that He also has blessed him with a miraculous healing in such a short time! I am so glad you are able to get help for PTSD. It's a very difficult thing to live with and I pray that our Heavenly Father gives you complete recovery and healing from all trauma as only He can do and that He will bless your husband with a complete recovery and lift any remaining pain off of him, but of course, according to His will and His mercy. You are beautiful and radiant and such an encouragement and so very real. Thank you for all your videos as they have touched and inspired me more than any words can convey! Love and blessings of peace and healing to you and your beautiful family!
Wow..I'm crying with you...what a MIRACLE indeed! God IS good ALL the time. Praise the Lord. I am so happy the Lord healed and allowed your husband more time on earth. ❤ You are a precious wife and momma, and I am praying for you to have inner peace and be settled in your body/mind again. ❤ ❤
Those birds!!! They are agreeing right there with you! God is SO GOOD! God is so FAITHFUL! Even when we don't understand or know "why?" What an amazing testimony💗🙏 Such a miracle and yes, all glory be to God. Thank you for sharing this with the world. 💗🙏 Prayers for continued healing🤗
Hi, I am so sorry for your husband and so happy that he is pulling through. You know you could have reached out to your subscribers for comfort and I'm sending you all the good vibes I'm capable of. I'll be praying for you. It is such a good thing that you are taking good care of yourself and seeing a therapist. Love from France.
I could have and should have reached out here on RU-vid! I think I was so overwhelmed with so many things, I wasn't really thinking too clearly. BUT, thank you for thinking of us now. You have such a sweet spirit. Much love, Joy
I am so sorry your family has been going through this. I hope your husband can make a complete recovery and that you can recover from your stress and ptsd. You have inspired me to seek out a counselor/therapist. I have been dealing with some issues from trauma and I think talking to someone would really help me.
I just came across your channel. I love to pray for missionaries, so will be praying for your husband and family. Your story is so inspiring! God bless.
What an incredible trial you all have walked through! Praise the Lord for your faith and perspective through this! I hope your husband will heal completely from this!!
Great testimony! And you are absolutely right! Yahovah is good all the time..son was killed (he just graduated and was 18 I started homeschooling when he was in 7th grade and he chose to continue public)August 2019 which would have been a few months before your husband accident. Yahovah spoke to me and told me not to believe the enemy's lies. My son was his son he was well pleased with ( matthew 3:17) and he told me not to forget the covenant he made with my forefathers..Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I enjoy your videos and have a deep love for Africa.. my family lineage was traced to Eastern Africa on both of my parents side.. I have 7 other children. Now Yahovah is restoring our marriage.. through our grief and loss.. All good and perfect things are from above.. He was a gift and left us with a gift in our mourning..Bless you and your family.. Abba Yah Trumps the god of this world... in the end Yahshua comes back and he already defeated death.. I did ask why he could not intervene on his behalf a few times. He said I just have to trust that he is like Joseph now and will gain ten fold.... and trust in his bigger plan....
A very similar thing happened to my best friend growing up. God was very gracious to us. Almost every bone broken, in an extended coma, she had to learn to walk again... but now we are in our thirties and God has continued to grace us. She is very well, praise God! I’m so thankful God spared your husband and found for him the help he needed each step of the way. ❤️ Thank you for pointing to Him, and for verbalizing that God would have still been good no matter the outcome. This is key. Love you, Joy.
I have wondered about you. Life’s trials can be so hard but they also have the ability to help us shine and that is definitely the case with you. Thank you for sharing your story and your testimony. You have inspired me and I’m sure others as well. With God, anything is possible.
Count me in for prayer for a full healing so we can give Praise to God. As for yourself, continue with your counseling & it is ok to cry every now and then. 🙏🏼
I am blessed how you are so confident in who God is and His sovereignty that you can say “no matter the outcome-God is still good”. Praise God for His Grace and that your husband is alive and moving forward doing what he does for God’s glory. Numbers 6:24-26 Complete joy, peace and healing to you, hubby and your children 🌻🇿🇦
It's so good to see you back on YT. Thank you for sharing and I will continue to pray for your husband, you and your precious children. Your story is an amazing example of God's love and provision and your family's faithful trust and obedience. 💗Robin
I'm so happy to see you back on RU-vid! Sending all of my best wishes to you and your beautiful family, from Italy to Uganda! And also - I cannot wait to see your video about gentleness. I think I wrote you before that I felt like you were too hard on yourself, especially considering how much you had to go through lately. It's wonderful to see you smiling, wearing a beautiful dress and enjoying your coffee! Have a great day!
Oh dear...hadn't expected to be crying during my you tube time this morning. He is faithful and has given you a grand testimony. God bless you and yours🌹
Wow, praise God that your husband has healed and is doing good. That is an amazing testimony to Gods power, faithfulness and protection over your husband and yourself. I will also be praying for you, sounds like you are healing & handling it all in a healthy way and still glorifying God even though I know it has to be so hard . I can only imagine how traumatizing that would be, you and your husband are so strong and have such an evident strong faith and trust in the Lord. I know we don't know each other but if there is anything you need or anything we can do to help you all, please reach out. Continue to Trust in His faithfulness and provision! Blessings & Hope. Joy I just saw and realized this was a year ago, I thought it was recently. So glad that your husband has healed and is back to flying again! God is so good!
Wow, Joy. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm so glad to hear your husband is recovering well. Also happy to see you back here! Lots of love to you and your family❤️
What a horrific ordeal, but praising God for his faithfulness to you in this season!! We lived in Uganda from 2011-2014 and I know some of the trials and struggles dealing with major medical things there. Continuing to lift you all up in prayer!!
Wish I could hug you, Joy. Praising God with you and praying for your family as you continue to heal emotionally. Thank you for the update and for sharing your heart ❤️
Thank you sister. For what you shared, and how you shared it. Hurray for biblical counsellors and therapy. So true how the spirit found in Christ can thrive while our earthly tent is weary, worn, and struggling. Thankful for Jesus’ miraculous hand on your life... and your dear husbands! Privileged to be joining you on the journey as of now! Xox Much love in the Lord from Canada
Oh Joy. What an experience. You have been in my thoughts lately, I was thinking something had maybe happened. I, too heh nearly lost my husband a few times through medical issues and he also had a motorbike accident about a year ago, he had collapsed lung and broken ribs and the recovery is long. I'm so glad that you are both ok and that God has brought great things to you because of this experience. He did to me, also. I suffer from anxiety and stress now and I put it down to that, it seems to come from nowhere. Sending you lots of love and good luck with tour adoption. You are a wonderful lady and may God bless you. X
Hi sweet girl! SO nice to hear from you. Thanks for the encouragement and it sounds like your husband went through very similar things! Have you thought about getting some counselling for PTSD? It really can be so intense! Praying for you. Much love, Joy
@@JoyForney i have thought about counselling, i worry that that is moving away from God, does that sound silly? i have limited time with 9 children and live far from any where. i am taking it day by day and praying so much, thank youn for your encouragement, i look forward to your next video about kindness, i feel that i am kinder than before all this, i could still improve,lol. sarah.x
You don't know me, but there have been so many moments the Lord has brought you and your family to my mind and prayers! Praise God for his goodness and faithfulness! (And that a perfect stranger, but sister in Christ can go before the throne of Grace on behalf of you!) Praise God for the testimony He has given you. By His grace, for His glory. For our good. Continuing to uplift you in prayer!
I am so sorry your family had to go through this ; but what amazing strength, faith & perseverance. So glad your husband is recovering, God is good! Will keep you and your family in prayer.
Praying for you sweet lady. PTSD is rotten and I'm praying you're healed fully from it. I'm so happy your husband continues to recover. What a blessing! And I'm excited to see your videos on gentleness. Much love, from the States, Nell
Joy, I'm crying right here with you!!!! Thank you for sharing and I'm still praying for you and the family. Ive been thinking of you a lot lately and I'm so happy you are taking care of yourself right now. You encourage so many and so thankful for all you bring to this side of the internet! Sending prayers, hugs, and love your way!!!!!
Joy, thank you for sharing. It is amazing to hear how God protected your husband! I can't imagine all the ways this has affected you. I'm sure you have been in survival mode and the reality of what happened is just sinking in. I do think "gentle" is perfect for you at this time. Looking forward to hear what God is showing you.
Wow what a journey and testimony. I'll keep your family in my prayers, and I thank God for your husbands healing and your family! You've blessed me so much through your words of encouragement in your videos and I pray that you as well are encouraged and blessed 💜
Joy, I praise God for His faithfulness, His comfort, His abiding with you in this terrible season. My heart is with you and I've been praying for you and Dave from day 1. Sending long-distance hugs of heart-knit love and support.
WOW! I had no idea all this was going on! What a testimony of God’s healing! You are so brave to share your story. I understand some of what you are going through, because I almost lost my baby and it still makes my heart rate go up to tell the story and that was 16 years ago. Love you and I’m so looking forward to you videos! You are such an inspiration to all of us!
Love, hugs and prayers as you go through your healing journey. 💕 And I am so glad that you will be doing videos again. I much prefer them to the choppiness of Insta-stories.
I was just wondering what had happened... you have been missed! But no pressure. Praise Him! Thank you for sharing. I will be asking for strength and full healing for both of you.
I was so heartbroken for you all when I saw your initial prayer need you posted about the accident. I've prayed for you guys, and was so glad to see this update video. Thank you for the words about how God is still good regardless of the outcome....those were words I needed to hear as I walk through an intensely difficult trial. I look forward to hearing more about how you manage your own self-care/healing/therapy after such a traumatic ordeal. Blessings to you sister in Christ!
In regards to your suffering with PTSD and your husband handling it “easier,” I nearly died during childbirth with my first and my husband was much more traumatized by it that myself. I think he suffered more because he was in your situation, making decisions and SEEING what was going on. I was more or less just recovering and couldn’t really “see” the severity. I think God made our brains like that to protect ourselves and the energy to be used for recovery. So glad you’re on the road to full healing!
Oh Joy, what a battle!!! I'm praying for your family, especially for your healing, it's hard, but you are a stong woman. May the Lord bless you every day. Kisses from Portugal.
Joy, Eric and I had no idea as we sit here listening. We are praying, praying for you and Dave. We are going to share this with Dungan Chapel. We love you guys and will never ever forget the times you were with us. Praying for your ministry and Dave, You and your family.
I was just thinking about you the other day, wondering if you were still making videos. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Praise God for His mercy and goodness and that He chose to bring healing to your husband. Thank you for sharing this!
I appreciate you giving God the glory... AND acknowledging that even if it had gone the other way, God would still be good. That is a powerful testimony!!! I will pray for you. Many Blessings, Robin
I sympathize with your situation and am happy to hear you are both on the road to recovery. I went through a traumatic accident many years ago and spent 4 years in recovery so I know how hard it can be. I pray the Lord blesses you both and your ministry!
Wow, I'm so sorry to hear about the accident and the painful recovery. I will continue to pray as your husband continues to heal and as you recover from a very emotionally traumatic few months. God is faithful and He will see you through.
Thank you for sharing. It must have been hard to do ,but thank you for your testimony of Gods faithfulness and his abiding love. It is a blessing to everyone who has listened.
Glad to see you back. I went to check up your Instagram account because I was worried for your long absence. Saw what happened and held a moment of prayer for your husband and your family. God will be with you for your healing and you are not alone. From Indiana Davis
I absolutely loved finding your channel Joy! But was quit sad to find out that you are quiting RU-vid. Anyway. Praise be to Jesus about your husband! I cannot believe he survived. It truly was a miracle! I have a friend that was in a lesser severe accident than him and hes still in recovery and the accident was in Janruary of this year. Anyway. I am so glad to have met you and was able to watch a couple of your videos! One question. Are y'all missionaries!?! 💖 God bless ya'll!!!
Thank you for sharing, praises for this miraculous healing and prayers for the continued healing of your husband and your own emotions. You are such an inspiration Joy, blessings to you and your family❤️
Joy, thank you for sharing your testimony and your heart with us. I praise the Lord with you that your husband is recovering so well! 🤗 Continued prayers for both of you. God IS good! 💗
Wow, thank you for sharing this GREAT Testimony! GOD is Good no matter what. Praise GOD for his healing so far. I cannot imagine what you and your family went through. I pray that GOD Would Make him whole in JESUS' Awesome Name!
Oh my goodness! How scary, I have been in a similar situation with my husband and a motorcycle. Thanks for sharing your story and faith, my heart goes out to you guys.
Such a powerful story! Thank you so much for sharing, what an inspiration and testimony to the power of what God can do ❤️❤️🙏 will be keeping you in my prayers and thoughts
