book excerpt

Redemption “who redeems your life from the pit...” Psalm 103:4 W hile the pressure lifted when Bill said that he would move in again, it still felt strange getting back together with my husband. I was resigned to the fact that this was what God wanted and felt that in time I would want it. I didn’t understand what God was doing but I had begun to trust Him because of all I had seen Him do in the previous few years. I also knew that God hates divorce. So I deduced that He that wanted us back together. Bill never did understand what I meant by saying “God’s telling me to go back to you,” but I think he was willing to try to salvage our marriage. It had been about two weeks since our reconciliation. I had put the kids to bed and Bill had already fallen asleep. It had been hard for me to get a full night’s rest because I was battling a breathing condition. Sometimes, upon waking, I would start to choke and gasp for air. I remember Ted telling me that I would sometimes stop breathing. It had become more frequent and I was hoping I could get some uninterrupted sleep. The experience, which I am about to describe, changed my life forever. I remember floating up in the air. I was traveling through the clouds. There was someone next to me. It didn’t occur to me to look at the person -- I guess I wasn’t concerned about that. I kept going up through the atmosphere and eventually stopped when I reached a long staircase in the middle of the air. I was fascinated with this place. I sat down on one of the steps to do what I love: watch people. Some were going upwards and some were coming down the stairs. It was a steady flow of people. “He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending” Genesis 28:12 Then, a tall shrouded figure came up to me. I couldn’t see his face even though he was facing me, but I knew it was a man and I wasn’t afraid. He placed two things in my right hand. I felt them press into my hand but I didn’t look to see what they were. I was looking intently at this faceless person. He then said something to me that I didn’t hear. “What?” I said, not understanding. He said it again. ”What did you say?” I repeated, trying hard to decipher his words. “You will die a farmer,” he said, this time quite clearly. “What?” I said to him. This puzzled me. Before I could comprehend fully what was told to me, I was taken through space at a very fast rate of speed. It was as if someone was pulling me by my feet through the air. “Ugh,” I groaned as I came through the earth’s atmosphere. The colors here on earth were nothing like the vibrant colors I had seen in that heavenly travel just a few seconds ago. Continuing downward, I went through the earth’s surface. Still moving very rapidly, I continued going down, down, down until I went through a massive door-like structure. “Where am I?” I asked as I looked around this dark tunnel. Walking through the long passageway, I noticed spirally looking things on the wall. “What are these things?” I thought to myself. “I remember seeing these things in my dreams.” I kept walking. “I heard a voice from heaven like the voice of many waters and like the voice of loud thunder.” .-- -------------------------------------------- Redemption “who redeems your life from the pit...” Psalm 103:4 W hile the pressure lifted when Bill said that he would move in again, it still felt strange getting back together with my husband.
