Description

Ten years ago, at the age of 39, Dave Bruce suffered a series of strokes. He recognized something was wrong when the left side of his face wasn't working, his speech was slurring, and his blood pressure was extremely high. He couldn't swallow. His right carotid artery was dissecting, which caused his brain to swell so much so that, according to doctors, his brain stem was about to snap, so they performed a craniectomy, removing a part of his skull to allow the brain room to swell. After the strokes, Dave was left with no physical abilities, he could not move. After months of rehab, Dave regained some of what he lost, but complete paralysis on the left side of his body remained. From an active lifestyle to having lost so much of what he loved, Dave suffered from depression in the years following his stroke, and attempted to take his life, having ingested over 200 pills. Through the quick action of others, he survived, and spent three weeks in a mental health facility, where he was medicated to treat the symptoms. Some time later, speaking with his tax accountant, Dave had a conversation with eternal impact on his life. Their conversation was about faith and walking with Jesus in relationship. It was out of this conversation Dave sought out a local church, where He encountered Jesus and was saved. Dave was baptized, and began seeking for the ways of Christ, and in that time his depression has ceased. Part of that journey had been accepting where He is, reconciling the truth that though he hasn’t yet experienced complete healing, his life can still be used for God’s glory! With the technology of Tesla, Dave has regained his ability to drive. Despite his physical limitations Dave chooses to carry a positive mindset. He is living out Ephesians 4:22-24, actively shedding old behaviors, attitudes, and ways of thinking that are rooted in sin and embracing a new life characterized by righteousness and holiness, reflecting the likeness of God.**Stay connected:**- Website: www.lovehimlovethem.org- Linktree: https://linktr.ee/lhlt- Facebook: /lovehimlovethemFor inquiries, reach out at linda@lovehimlovethem.org.#GodsFaithfulness #StrokeRecovery #ParalysisAwareness #LifeAfterStroke #FaithInAdversity #MiraclesHappen #SurvivorStory #StrengthInTrials #OvercomingObstacles #DaveBruce #HopeAndHealing #FindingPurpose #ResilienceJourney #InspirationThroughPain #TurningWeaknessIntoStrength #FaithAndHealing #LifeChangingMoments #FaithfulInTrials #RenewedStrength #StoryOfRedemption #LHLT #LoveHimLoveThem
