My story with God
Jesus has been tugging at me since I had a near death experience over forty years ago! I was raised as a Catholic, went all my school years and
graduated from Catholic Schools and attended Church regularly. I always believed in God and I knew if I lived my life being a good Christian I would go to heaven. I didn't know anything about having a personal relationship
with Jesus Christ at that time. Thirty years or so later, I asked Him into my heart as I read a sign off the road, while riding as a passenger in our motorhome, I was very sincere and all of a sudden a great feeling of peace and joy, completely covered me. I felt very close to God, but, I never once thought about the Bible or that there was anything else that I needed to do.(?????) Then Jesus, I didn't know at that time, it was the Holy Spirit came to me and "told me to tell everyone about how I felt and what I remembered about my near death experience", (which was the most awesome thing that had ever happened in my life up to then), "I said I really don't know how to do that". He said "Start a web site called AllaboutGOD.com or to see if there was a web site already started"! Well That was in 1998 and even then I was not very computer savvey and I did
not obey!!! I didn't know why until February 26, 2007. Something told me to dig up my notes that I had kept on my computer all these years and when I read about Jesus telling me to do this and that is where my notes
ended. I have no idea why! So I had my Sister look to see if there was a web site called Allabout GOD.com When she e-mailed me back, she sent
a(I will never forget it) Blue line AllaboutGOD.com and said click on this! When I did, He didn't have to tug on me ever ever again! I couldn't move for the longest time, I just stared at the computer, I felt His presence completely take over my body. My life with Him is sooo awesome! I spend most of the day with Him in my thoughts and prayers. There is not enough time in a day! I do know now why I didn't obey Him. It was not in His timing! He knew it would mean more to me on February 26, 2007 and that He would never have to tug on me again! He is my Lord my Love
and my Life forever! Now in a dream the other night, He told me to go to AllaboutGOD.net. I am obeying Him now and forever! I plan to write again about my near death experience, because it is so important to Him and the world!
I believe HE wants me to tell you all about this experience now. 4-29-08
It all started when I was in surgery after the birth of my Son. There were
complications and I had to have a transfusion. While in surgery, I felt myself moving very fast as though on a flatcar of a train. I was speeding past everything, but, at the same time I knew all about these things. I had absolutely no questions about anything. I was in the most beautiful place with the most vibrant and unexplainable colors, I had total Peace and understanding. I felt warm and loved and on a journey toward a bright light way off in the distance, I could hardly wait to get there, when all of a sudden, someone was telling me to look up or wake up, I don't know which one, but I knew if I did either one, I could not get to the light and I would leave the most desirable place I had ever been so I held my
eyes shut just as tight as I could but it was the Doctors and Nurses bringing me back by slapping me it seems. Later my Doctor told me I was what they considered a bad mother in the old days when a Mother
hemoraged to death and left their baby alone. Anyway, I prayed everyday for years, that God would never let me forget this experience and that if Everyone could have an experience like this, we would all
have HIS peace. I was never able to explain what I saw and felt for several years, everytime I would try, I just didn't have the words to justify the Glorious feeling of Love. I know why HE sent me to this
site now, HE wants Everyone to experience His Love and Peace.
Please do just that!! This is HIS PLAN FOR YOU.
Other stuff about me:
I love children and animals and anyone else who can make
me laugh.

    I was just reading your story with God, and I wanted to tell you about a book i have been reading "90 minutes in heaven" by Don Piper. It is about a man who died and went to Heaven for 90 minutes...it is an amazing story. I would love to know about your experience if you are in a place that you want to share....

    Hello dear sister....The Lord is so faithful to answer our prayers. I Praise God that your prayers were answered.

    Regarding others who do not know about a personal relationship with Jesus....I think we have to pray that they will.
    Here is a video that I love by the Casting Crowns...

    Hi Orangetree,

    Here are the lyrics from the song I sent you....great melody...I hope you get high-speed..many blessings...


    What if the Armies of the Lord
    Picked up and dusted off their swords
    Vowed to set the captive free
    And not let Satan have one more
    What if the church for Heaven's sake
    Finally stepped up to the plate
    Took a stand upon God's promise
    And Stormed Hell's rusty gates.
    What if His people prayed
    and those who bear His name
    would humbly seek His face
    and turn from their own ways

    and what would happen if we prayed
    for those raised up to lead the way (President)
    then maybe kids in school could pray
    and unborn children see lighter day

    What if the life that we pursue
    Came from a hunger for the truth
    What if the family turned to Jesus
    Stopped asking Oprah what to do....

    What if His people prayed?
    and humbly seek His face
    He said that He would hear
    His promise had been made
    He answered Loud and Clear
    If only we would pray...


    These are the basic lyrics...
