We have been blessed to follow the recovery, the miracle, the miracle of God, of Jonathan Savage from Laredo, Texas. From not being able to talk or walk after his motorcycle accident Jonathan graduated this weekend from High School! PTL!!!!!! Here is a note from his Aunt Shonda Savage: Jonathan walked to receive his diploma today. Jonathan is a walking miracle. After his motorcycle accident the neurologist said he would never walk again. This is what’s God can do! Thank You Lord!
KGNS TV in Laredo gave us permission to share this story:
LAREDO, TX Despite being involved in an accident 8 months ago, a local high school senior walked the stage this weekend and receives his diploma…
We got a chance to talk to him about his road to recovery and what he plans on doing now. September 2nd 2015, the day that changed Jonathon Savage’s senior year. “All I remember is getting on the motorcycle but what I’ve heard is that I hear a rock in the road, hit a retaining wall, Savage says about the accident. He was test driving his friend’s motorcycle when it happened, causing him to get a spinal cord and brain injury. He was in coma for 11 days after the accident and then went to rehab, “I ended up breaking my thoracic spine, I was a complete paraplegic, once I got movement in my legs… that’s when the ball started rolling, Savage says. 21 days after the accident he was finally able to stand up. The determined 18-year old continued his education while still in the hospital. “It was a struggle I was able to manage my time doing therapy and school lots of late nights of no sleep,” he adds. Despite all the obstacles savage completed his education. About a month ago doctors told him he’s on the road to a full recovery and will be able to walk again.”
Doctors still don’t know how long it will take until then… But in the mean time he’s been doing physical therapy practicing for his walk across the stage, a very emotional moment during the graduation. Savage says the one thing that’s kept him going is his attitude, “got to stay positive, that’s the main thing that’s kept me alive staying positive. There’s no reason to be depressed because at the end of the day what is that going to change? Jonathan plans on studying at Texas Tech and will major in kinesiology.

Here is my post from October 5th of 2015…………
THE MIRACLE OF HEALING CONTINUES!
Yesterday I got a text from Jonathan Savage’s Dad, Jimmy, to give me an update on Jonathan’s condition. I cried! We are seeing a miracle right before our eyes! Jimmy said that Jonathan wanted to release these photos so you can see the miracle taking place, from the start, to where he is at today! For those of you who may not know Jonathan’s story, he is from Laredo, Texas and just over a month ago was in a severe motorcycle accident, crashing through a brick wall. He was airlifted to a San Antonio, Texas hospital in critical condition, it was touch and go for awhile. Jonathan suffered many injuries, LISTEN TO MY PODCAST HERE , including to his head and spine. We now pray for Jonathan’s legs…for full usage, for complete healing of the legs, in Jesus name Amen! So many people have responded to the prayer needs of Jonathan and the family! PTL! PTL! People are still storming heaven with prayers for Jonathan. Jonathan’s story is one of the most followed stories ever in the history of FGGAM!
I am still in awe of God……..I am in awe as I look at these pictures and recall the many conversations I have had with Jimmy and his sister Shonda Savage, who writes for us here at FGGAM, during this season. The love that Jimmy has for his son, WOW! I am in awe! Jimmy called me one day and asked me to pray over the phone with him and Jonathan, as it was quiet, no one in the room……so we did and have done it now more than once. I am a better man of God for knowing the Savage family, what faith, what love, what courage! Awe of God!
As I write this post I am barely able to hold my composure……….as I continue my prayers for Jonathan and family…….and being in the awe of God. Please do not rush from this post……….stay here awhile……. and look at Jonathan………. and pray.
Also…. take a look at your life and where you are at with God.
Do not turn to the left or right, do not listen to the “nothing noise of the world”, stay focused on our Lord Jesus Christ!
