Couple survived an accident that could have chop their body into parts

Arika Stovall and her boyfriend, Hunter, survived a
crash that should have killed them. It was “only
by the grace of God” that both Arika and Hunter
were able to stand on their own two feet—next to
the hunk of metal that use to be a truck—and
smile.
It’s a miracle how little damage was done to the
both of them after their truck slammed into a pole
going 85 miles per hour. Arika describes that the
accident, “should have chopped their bodies in
half.”
According to a post on Arika’s Facebook wall, she
and Hunter had three seconds from when they
started sliding off the road to impact. She wrote:
Three seconds. That's how long we had
from the moment we drifted off the road
until the truck hit the pilar at 85mph. In
three seconds Hunter had to handle a
situation that would either kill us
immediately or save our lives. He keeps
beating himself up for my pain but he
saved my life. He keeps saying 'I should
have protected you and I didn't do that' but
he did exactly what he needed to do to
make sure my life didn't end. The whole
baseball player part helped him out...if he
can hit a 95mph fastball he can do
anything ��. He took care of me. And
when we were both lying in our beds in the
ER he found a way to come protect my
heart and give me a hug. Lord knows

I
needed that just as much as my safety.
I'm overwhelmed at how little damage was
done to Hunter and I in a wreck that should
have chopped our bodies in half. I'm in awe
of the presence of God in this entire
situation. Every part of this experience we
went through points directly to Him. The
way God helped Hunter to respond exactly
the way he did behind the wheel, spinning
the truck exactly where it should have to
be able to smash into the pilar directly in
the middle of me and Hunter so we were
both untouched...that doesn't just happen.
God doesn't throw protection around like
that for no reason. He does it because he's
not finished with us.
I have problems with my heartbeat. When I
get anxious or worried it flutters pretty
bad...pulling me into panic attacks. The
moment we hit and I realized I was
conscious I realized that is what was
happening to me. While out of breath and
trying to move my legs i was
screaming..panicked...yelling for Hunter to
just say something. I needed to know he
was okay. Looking to the drivers seat all I
saw was his head through the windshield, a
face full of blood, and a body that wasn't
moving. I looked straight out the truck and
there was a man..bright with a big white
beard. No other cars in sight...just this
man. He was my guardian angel. He saw
me and immediately told me that an
ambulance was coming. I jumped out of
the car, ran over to Hunters side and just
looked at this man. From that moment until
Hunter was cut & lifted out of the truck I
believe with my whole heart that looking at
this man helped me to literally believe in
that moment that Hunter was next to me
on the road. I dont know if it was a
hallucination or me unconsciously dreaming
or a glimpse of heaven...but all I knew in
that moment was that Hunter was safe
with me. This man..looking at him for a
short moment..helped me not witness
Hunter being peeled out of the truck. I
believe if I saw that I would have had a
heart attack. Right when Hunter was
actually out and next to me, I asked this
man when the ambulance was coming. He
told me in just a second. He walked away, I
blinked and a flashlight was in my face.
The paramedics were there helping me and
Hunter and the anxiety and worry if he was
okay disappeared because we were in good
hands.
Here is the miracle part: no broken bones,
concussions that lasted not even 24 hours,
no internal damage, and just a few stitches
in my knee and hunters face. Only that
after an accident that paramedics wonder
how we didn't die instantly and a truck that
looks like it's been through a tree grinder.
We're both already released from the
hospital not even 48 hours after entering.
All of our belongings in perfect condition
besides a few things here and there..and
the only thing left behind at the crash
scene is Hunters bible open, with a page
marked with scripture telling us to not be
afraid; Jesus is with us.
I am amazed. Absolutely taken away by the
presence of God. So blessed for him
sending me an angel. So thankful for
Hunter and his second chance at life...for
his healing and health. We are so fortunate
for families who traveled hundreds and
hundreds of miles to be with us. And so
thankful for all the thoughts and prayers
that were sent our way. The power of
prayer is real, and it healed me and Hunter.
We are in a lot of pain because of the
injuries, so any more prayers are
appreciated while we recover.
But tonight I'm praying for all of you. If
there's anything you read out of this novel
I'm typing up here it's this: I want everyone
to to know the love and the power of God.
He has a purpose...and it's so clear that

NOTHING...not even a car accident like this
one will cause his plans for you to change.
We are put on this beautiful earth for a
reason and the reason is to help people
know Him. We are made to show and share
His love. And if it takes a car wreck like
this for me to get to do that then I would
do it all over again. I'm praying that
everyone who reads this can get a glimpse
of Gods faithfulness. He is GOOD. And
working. And the plans he has for YOU and
your life aren't going anywhere. Good or
bad, what you want or what you don't
want...it's God's doing. It's his plans
unfolding. It's his kingdom coming.
Embrace the struggles and the joys of this
life! Without a doubt it's a miracle we're
alive, but more than that it's simply Gods
plan for us. We're so grateful for this wreck
and all it will do in our lives. We are
blessed to be okay. And so in love with the
amazing God we serve.
