Hello everyone God bless you...
I wanted to share a story of what God spoke to me one evening.... when I got saved back in 2000..I was estranged from most of my family due to serious issues very difficult to talk about ...so for almost 10 years I never had much contact with my family....after finding God and praying for healing...God answered my prayers...I have four sisters and one of my moms hearts desires was to have us girls all back together...and God answered that prayer...when we got back together as sisters, God put it upon my heart to start a bible study for my family...growing up my mom had taught us the values of God , so we all knew who He was...
I started bible studies and for almost a year , 14 of us would get together one night a week to read the bible, pray, worship, praise...it was really fun to have us all together but having us together as family and friends was awesome..God is So Wonderful ...with Gods teachings in our hearts we began meeting once a week for jam sessions , as my sisters and I love to sing...
When my dad passed away five years ago, my mom moved in with my older sister and lived very happy and we would always just get together for tea or just a visit ..my mother was so proud to have us all together as sisters...one day my oldest sister as me if I could come and stay with my mom ..when they took a vacation...of course I jumped at that chance...I never had the opportunity to get to know her and this would be such a great way to do that....
So off my sister went on vacation...I enjoyed every minute I could with my mom...one night , as she went to bed early I decided to sit by my sisters pool and enjoy the warm summer night ....I was sitting there in the darkness, with my feet in the pool..I decided to Praise the Lord for the blessings He had given me ...as I sat in the quiet ...out of no where came a voice...He said Betty Jean...I said yes Lord for I knew it was God talking to me ....He does call our name ...at first I was a bit scared , cause sometimes when God just comes to me in this way ..I feel..oh oh..what is coming next....
I would like to talk to you about something He said, and I said yes God I am listening , but inside I was shaking as I awaited what He was going to reveal...
He said Betty Jean , you are doing very well and I am proud of you for how far you have come ...and now you will be using your experience and learning to help your mother pass over to the other side.....I sat stunned...to even think my mother was going to leave me was hard enough...I said Lord I cant do that I don't have the experience to do this , Lord I am so scared...I started to cry ...Betty Jean ,He said, yes you do and you will know what to do when the time comes..you have been prepared...and it will not happen for some time yet ....with my heart pounding I sat there and argued with the Lord trying to get out of what He had just told me...I suggested that a Pastor or Minister should do this as they were experienced at this type of things...I argued that there was just no way I could do this ....but in the end I submitted and finally said ok God I will leave this in your hands and trust in you to know this is the right thing to do ....
Three years later, my mom got sick and we took her to the hospital...she needed surgery but the doctor told us she was not strong enough to have it ...so they told us within a few days she would be gone...I spent so many hours in prayer, wanting God to heal her so we could have more time with her ....but she stayed with us long enough for all of her family to visit....in those last days we talked about God and she told us she wasn't scared, she told us she was so tired ( she had a very hard life ) with the year we had spent in bible study , it helped us all to deal with what was happening and for what was to come ...and I found that God was right , I went through this time with so much sadness in my heart, but knew that it was her time to leave us and I felt that from the bible studies we had all grown and learned so much...and that is was this that help my mother and the rest of the family to cope with such a hard time in our lives...
My mother did believe that we would all meet again and that she was looking forward to seeing all those who had passed over before her...and that it would be only a matter of time passing before we met again...amen and amen...
She passed peacefully in her sleep and suffered no pain...we said our goodbyes knowing that indeed we would meet again....for the Promises of God are the Eternal Life that is too come and the love of all whom we loved would follow us into eternity...God had not only prepared me , but He prepared us sisters to stay strong for each other and to trust in the Lord at such a difficult time...I did not have to say much as it seemed God had prepared us all ..and it was not only me , but God in my sisters also that brought us through this sad time...
As I sit her today ...I can look back on these times and draw strength from God that although I feared my mothers passing that He would be there to help me get through it , and for all things Christ will Strenghten me...amen and amen..
God does speak to us ....I pray you will share with others , experiences you have had with God ...on the comment page or my email...I pray Gods wonderful blessings upon Your Life..
Praise Jesus , He is the Way, the Light , The Truth..
In Jesus Love Your Sister in Christ Betty Jean..
