And I told her mom that I thought she was \u200dhaving a \u200dseizure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer mom\u2062 was pretty good. She saw it, my wife [Tamela]. We took her in the room and didn\u2019t want to cause a scene and she started to foam at\u2064 the mouth. It was her worst\u200d seizure,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor 30 \u200cminutes,\u200d she seized. She wouldn\u2019t calm. \u200dWe had to\u2062 call \u200dthe paramedics.

I prayed for \u2062her. \u200cI said, \u2018God, let\u2064 this just be an attack from the enemy that\u2019s just trying to be\u2063 a distraction, and let him\u2062 have overplayed his \u200chand and \u200bmy daughter come back stronger than before.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I heard my\u200d daughter talk in the middle of the night \u2014 and my daughter she doesn\u2019t have any development issues, praise God. She doesn\u2019t have any slurred speech \u200bprior to this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe woke\u2063 up talking clearer than she\u2062 was talking before.

She was able\u2062 to talk to me\u2063 and her\u200c mom.\u2063 I mean, clear conversation. She\u2019s sharp for \u2064a 4-year-old.\u200c No stuttering, \u2064all her words clear,\u201d he said,\u200c noting that he brought\u200d his\u2063 daughter\u2062 home that day to \u200dbe part of a birthday\u2062 celebration for his 7-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n<p>He said that \u2062when it was clear to him his \u200ddaughter was not harmed, \u201cI started saying praise God, praise God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He \u2064then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nfl-star-leaves-team-ever-known-gives-glory-god-lord-put-reason\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">summed up<\/a> what \u2063he \u200cfelt from what he \u2064called\u2064 his \u201cknock from God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u200d I \u2062want to share \u200bis, we get to \u200cplay this game and \u200bthat\u2019s great. And\u2063 there\u2019s\u200c so many amazing things that happened in that game, and everyone wants to hear about \u2064it. But \u200bwhen we leave \u2062this game, we \u200cgo back to being \u2064regular people. And\u2063 regular people are \u2062living life, and \u200dpeople are \u2062waiting for a \u2064knock,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the Word says who Jesus is, He\u2019s knocking at the\u2062 door. All \u2062you\u2019ve got to \u200bdo \u200cis get up. \u200cAnd so\u2062 on the way, I\u2019m nervous, but I\u2019m praying, \u2063and I\u2019m trusting, and I\u2019m believing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I\u2019m not asking for my daughter to make \u2062it\u2062 through, I\u2019m asking that she\u2019s better than before. And\u200d God gave me just\u200b what I asked for, plus some,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u200d was blown away. And \u200dat that point, I knew the game was going\u2062 to take care of itself. My knock had already been\u200c answered, and\u200d I just want people to know if you\u2019ve got stuff going on \u200cin your\u2064 life,\u2064 lay\u2064 it before the\u200c Lord. Lay it before the\u2062 Lord\u2062 and trust. And be expecting of a knock.\u200d Because the word\u200d says what you have to do\u200c is, you have to get up and open the door.
