M.M. Would you say
that you are a different person since your
NDE episode? In what
sense?
I would like to think I was
a “good” person before
my NDE, so I hope I have
not outwardly changed
dramatically, but I have
certainly experienced
a profound internal
change. The reality of
God, of life after death,
and of the truth of all of
God’s promises changes
the way I experience
every moment of every
day. I live in a state of
gratitude and prayer –
that is, constantly giving thanks and listening
for where God is leading me. I always try
to say “yes” to where
I think I am being led
rather than findings the
many reasons and ways
to say “no”. I accept
not always knowing the
answer to the questions
of “Why…?” trusting that
God has a plan for each
person that is one of
hope and that beauty
comes from all things.
I try to always reflect
God’s love and to see
God’s beauty in other
people. I am still a very
25
organized person and
plan for the future, but
I hold on to my plans
loosely, knowing that
God may have different
plans for my life.
