Chapter Eleven ~ "let's fly"

I used to dream I could fly.  I would just jump up with the intent to fly and boom! I was in the air. I have not flown in my dreams for awhile now. I wish I would... it’s like every situation is alright because I have risen about it... glorious in a way.

On this special night, Jesus greeted me with a loving smile and said, "let’s fly“.  He reached out his beautiful right hand and wrapped it around my hand.  Away we went! oh amen!

It was the first time I saw the green pastures!

Oh! the green pastures are so so so so beautiful... perfect OF COURSE! More about them later:)  

"I want to show you some important things“ Jesus said. I held His hand tight.

We flew over green pastures that led to a cluster of houses . As we flew over the houses He pointed down to one home... it was my Mother in her backyard.   She was looking at all her beautiful flowers and green bushes.  I noticed as she stood on the grass that she was  enjoying the beauty.  She did not see me, but I saw her and felt happy and sad at the same time.  I was happy that I saw her and she had her home in heaven... sad that she and I had a hard time here on earth. 

She went through a lot, her lack of good health that brought her more suffering than normal, her work that took valuable energy, and ME!  As I grew up she taught me to live without her.  She knew she was going to die when I was 16. When I was born, God promised her 16 more years to live.  She wanted me to be independent, so I could take care of myself, but then when I was showing my independence, she had a hard time.  She died when I was 16. She was 53.

Then our direction changed...

We flew towards something that looked darker and darker as we got closer.  I could not see the details of what was ahead.

Jesus took me to the edge of heaven, or so it seemed, where SUDDENLY I saw two very large and ugly demons!! Whoa!! NOT a pretty sight!   What a contrast between Angels and demons! well, dah! right? They were so... awful. Of course the veil kept them out.

"Those are *someone I know* demons, you need to know that!“  He spoke very seriously. I looked at Him and held on tighter!

Jesus is very intentional... always

Jesus never tells you something or shows you something on a whim!  It is with great intent and reason that He communicates knowledge.  I learned that when I was 16... and it is still happening. oh amen! Just FYI... I DID learn why He showed me those demons and that knowledge was of great help in a very strange and harsh situation that could    

have jolted me off into a very bad anxiety place!  We were on the mainland away from home and Jim had to go back to Hawai‘i and get to work.  How thankful I am that Jesus saved me from great hurt. Thank you precious Jesus, once again you protect me and help me through.

After seeing the darkness... I was more than ready to see happy places in heaven.  It is so beautiful, with many different areas.  I was just given a sneak peek.

It was a wonderful experience to fly with you Jesus... thank you:)

We landed on the top walkway overlooking the green pastures... oh! happy!
