Gods Comfort

I would like to share an amazing story

with those of you who read the blog.

It's not my story, but a true story

that happened with my mom,

not sure why it took me this long to tell it,

as it happened back in summer.

First let me set the story up,

Now my mom has a special relationship with God,

and if it wasn't for her and her faith..

I wouldn't have come to know the Lord.

Which is the same thing she says about

her mom, and sadly she passed on

a little more then a year ago.

My grandma or "Nana" as I called her,

is in a better place for sure,

however she will always be missed.

Understandably for my Mom she really struggled

for awhile with the fact that she was gone,

she never lost her faith or cursed God

at all but in the back of her mind

those questions of "Is she really in heaven God?"

"Is she up there with you now?"

I'm sure came into play.

In short my mom needed some comfort,

not from my Dad or me or my brother,

but from God....I came across this verse

and I think it fits perfectly so you can understand

what I'm saying...

My eyes fail, looking for your promise;

I say, "When will you comfort me?"

Psalm 119:82

Now this is what happened

in my Mom's own words..

while asking God for that promise of comfort.

My Life was forever change on June 24th 2009

I was having a struggle with emotions after losing

my sweet momma, I had to leave my office because

I was so weepy. As I drove across prairie i was noticing

how beautiful the clouds were, I have always been a

cloud gazer, I came to a crossing at Highway 41 and I

stopped at the light, I cried out to God...

"Please God let me know for sure my

Momma is with you!"

The light changed green and I heard the Lord

say;

"When you get home go directly to your back patio window,

I have painted you something in the sky."

I knew he was up to something!

I made a bee line to my back patio window,

and I was in absolute awe of his huge detailed angel-

I couldn't take my eyes off the beauty, God said

" lay down on the grass I have more for you"

then I noticed the dove and the cross,

I jumped up and said running and screaming

"WAIT! LORD WAIT! Let me get my camera!"

He allowed me to get this evidence

of his mercy and love from above!

The angels blowing the trumpets in the upper left corner

I didn't even notice until after the picture was taken.

So now when I have those moments, I only

have to look at this photo and i hear him say;

"She wouldn't want to come back even if I let her,

she is so happy. She will be waiting for you in

the clouds."

I'm nothing special, I just believe

and I know God hears us when we

cry out to him.

For I know the plans I have for you,

" declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and

not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me,

and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me

when you seek me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:11-13
