I have set it before myself so many
times when I couldn't seem to see
through all the "stuff" of life. I would
remind myself, "He has a plan for
me, one to give me a future and a
hope!" That always brought
confidence and bolstered my faith,
so I never considered the plan would
include me dropping dead and
subsequently being resurrected! This
was a very unexpected part of my life
journey to say the least.
Without a shadow of a doubt, I
believe that God knew that this
would happen to me, and His plan
dictated March 2, 2017 would not be
the day I left this life for good!
"...plans to give you a future and a
hope." So, my foreseeable future
remains to be here, and my hope
remains in Christ the Redeemer, and
eternity spent with Him!
There were many questions though.
Questions were the first things I
confronted in this process and to be
honest, I’ve struggled quite a bit with
some of them. There is a piece of
time I was not here, and much of my
story has been told to me by others
who were there.
Many people asked things I simply
cannot answer, and some have been
a little disappointed that I do not
recall being in heaven. Some people
have just wanted to talk to someone
who is a miracle. There is concern,
compassion, a little fear from some,
and a lot of trying to wrap one's mind
around the divine. Often though, the
conversations turn toward personal
things the individuals may be trying
to "process." Just like me...
Here's what I can share though: My
faith in Christ is totally intact! I can
honestly say it never wavered. I
believe without a doubt that His
plans for me, and for you are good!
More than ever, I know His thoughts
and ways are far above ours. The
most important thing I know today is
that God is completely trustworthy!
He can be eternally trusted, and He
wants people He can trust with the
miraculous - not people chasing the
miraculous!
The most important thing
I know today is that God
is completely
trustworthy!
Rather than spinning our wheels
trying to make the miraculous
comprehensible, He wants our faith
and desire to be in Him.
Our journey should be of chasing
after Him - not His gifts and
blessings... Faith to believe in Him
and to desire Him above all else, is
what He wants from His people.
When we do that, incredible things
will happen!
