I Saw His Robe

<p>I Saw His Robe is the story of Gloria Beaty's visions and transformation as a result of a horrific boating accident that left her and three of her friends fighting to survive. </p><p></p><p>It was Friday August the Thirteenth of 2021. My friends and I made plans to celebrate a birthday at a friend's lake house. We decided to take an evening boat ride into the sunset. On our return home what started as fun soon turned into a horrific and tragic scene. We were listening to music and enjoying our ride when all of a sudden the boat hit a retaining wall. </p><p></p><p>Another group on a nearby boat heard the crash and were the first on the scene. They began to pray for us. Two of the men immediately applied a tourniquet to my lower left leg. As I lay there I had no idea or memory that my leg was 99 percent severed just below my knee to the ankle.</p><p></p><p>The attending doctors informed me that my leg below the knee may need to be amputated. Instead I was to undergo a procedure known as a free flap in order to save my leg. During one of several visions I had I found myself in what I would describe as purgatory. It was during the last of my multiple surgeries that I had the most moving and transformative experiences of my life. As I was being transported to the operating room for my eight-to-ten-hour surgery I asked God to please have someone waiting for me in my room when I returned. As I lay in my bed I looked to my left to see if someone was there waiting on me but noticed no one was there. I then looked to my right and was amazed at what I witnessed. I saw his beautiful robe beside me. My God I saw his robe and immediately began to cry tears of joy.</p><p></p><p>My life since then has never been the same. Never again will I ever be alone! This experience has impacted many people family and friends in positive ways. Amen! Today I live differently and pray others will find their journey with God.</p>
