Not Q or political. Just remembering a personal event that I can not explain. I am not much of a poster but felt the desire to do so. I am keeping it simple because I am not a story teller or embellisher.
Event: I went camping with my family as a child. One trip there was a bad storm. We woke up in water and ran to the car to wait it out. Next day was beautiful so we went for a walk in the woods. I was skipping and going ahead of them. I heard a voice. An external voice not of my family or of me. Cant explain it to this day. The voice said "turn back now". I was confused and went on. Then i heard it again "TURN BACK NOW". I came to a complete stop and turned around. The second i did so we heard a loud crack of wood snapping and a whoosh of air. A tree came crashing down where my next step was to be. A voice i will never be able to explain saved my life that day. I resently asked my mom of the event. She said she remembers me running ahead and out of no where i turned facing her in shock then the tree fell.
What a world we live in. So much we are unaware of and cant not explain but exists. We are not alone!
Last Sunday I felt the urge to go to church. I haven’t been in years. I decided to try a new church that I drive by on occasion. It’s a little country church surrounded by corn fields.
The pastor came and introduced himself. Long flowing white beard and very kind. The hymns were uplifting and the entire sermon was on truth. All scripture based.
After service was over, he walked over to me and thanked me for coming. I complimented him on his sermon and he shook my hand.
And then this happened.
Pastor has brown eyes and as I started to turn and walk away I saw the glow of The Holy Spirit surrounding him. His face shown like gold and the color of his eyes turned to a twinkling blue silver. His smile was of such love, compassion and warmth. I had to look back 3 times to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. I could only think of Moses glow after he met with The Lord.
I knew God used him to show me His love for me. And to know that I am not alone.
One of my biggest complaints to God is I want some of His God skin. Meaning it would be perfect if i could be hugged by our Creator. He answered my complaint by showing Himself through the pastor.
I think we are supposed to find Him in all those we meet or have in our lives.
