Chapter Four ~ no more waiting!
'Jesus, i need you, i have to see you, please'
It was January 6, 2011... I laid down in bed and started to cry.
"Jesus!“ I cried, sobbing with desperation and anguish, "please talk to me! I have to see you! I have to! I can not go another day like this. Please just let me know you are here and you love me. Please! I am desperate!“
No More Waiting...
The first thing I saw was His Hand! His mighty right hand, what a beautiful hand! He was reaching down to me and I heard Him say "Come“.
I was instantly there...
I looked down at my feet, I was standing on gray river rocks. My feet felt the rocks, I was barefoot. The rocks were very smooth and my feet did not feel the hardness of the rocks.
I looked up and saw someone in the distance. He was sitting and seemed to be waiting for me just past the rocks. He was sitting on a brick ledge facing away from me. The ledge was only about 18 inches high.
I noticed In the distance there was a large veil that was suspended in air as if to block the view. It was flowing, it was white with tints of gray . The entire scene was soft.
Jesus was wearing a white robe with a hoodie that was pulled up over his hair and partially covered his face.
I felt very peaceful. The rocks were easy to walk on. I stepped over one brick ledge, and continued walking on more rocks. I walked to the second ledge and sat down facing the same direction as Jesus. I sat on his left side.
I looked at him from the side and saw wisps of dark hair and some of his left face. Awesome. I knew it was Jesus . He gave me a sideways hug with his left arm. Immense love flowed into my spirit, body and entire being. Wow!
Yes! that was a wow moment for me.
The atmosphere was full of abundant love. He wanted me to know that He is always with me. We sat for awhile, we did not have to say anything. I didn’t want to talk just then, no need, I just wanted to hear Him speak. In that moment it was more than enough just being with Him. I was so grateful for His presence and great love. When It was time to go, I was in my bed. How's that for a good night story!
That was night one.
a new day...
a new day... and i was feeling good!
The next morning I was very excited! With a cup of Kona Coffee I shared with Jim my experience and drew him a picture of the scene. We talked about the veil and about the rocks, but mostly I talked about Jesus. My heart felt lighter and new Hope was filling my being. New life and something good was starting to happen. Yes!
The next night...
I laid down, started to talk to Jesus and instantly I was there standing on the rocks.
I stood at the same spot as before. This time Jesus was facing me and I could see Him, He was smiling. What a beautiful smile. He was wearing a white garment, but no hoodie. Nice! He was sitting on a standard brown metal folding chair that was on the rocks.
I walked on the rocks with eagerness, I could not take my eyes off of Jesus. I stood there just looking at Him. I was happy. Just being there gave me an overwhelming peace that I so needed. I felt loved, cared for, and ‘very special’. He spoke words of love that gave me comfort. He did not even have to talk for me to know how much He cares for me. I saw his beautiful face, full of light and love.
The very essence of Him, so wonderful, so amazing! Thank you Jesus! I love you, my Savior and best friend.
The veil and surroundings did not change, but that did not matter. I was there to be with Jesus.
That was Night Two.
