A Curve Ball From Heaven

The Lord has really thrown me a curve ball this morning.  But I caught it.  I was up till about 5am this morning working on my Blog Re-design.  I apologize if the blog changes over the next few days because I am determined to get it just-so without paying a dime for it.  Anyhow.  As I finally gave up for the morning to accept the 4 hours of sleep before the kids get up.  I was laying there and I heard a sound and it was like a ringing in my ear.  I hate when that happens.  It’s like someone knocking your head against the wall.  I said maybe it’s because you have been staring at a computer screen for about 15 hours straight with brief breaks.  So I know you’re wondering what is the point?

Well the ringing stopped and I heard my mother’s voice and she called my name.  That’s it just my name.  But the tone was clear.  I had almost forgot that stern but sweet sound when she wanted my attention yet was getting a little annoyed  because I wasn’t moving fast enough.  Now that was a curve ball.  I sat up and laughed.  I didn’t cry and that was the awesome part. I have been crying since March 27, 2012.  I’ve been longing to hear her voice.  For those that don’t know she was my BEST FRIEND!  I talked to her everyday all throughout the day and life has been a little dim since she went to be with Jesus. 
 
 

So when I heard her call my name I was tickled purple. It was the way she called me as to say get it together girl, what is wrong with you.  I taught you better and you know better.  Let me rest child.  I’m trying to enjoy my mansion and I keep looking at you acting like a Psych patient. 

In response to that needed nudge, I am so thankful that the Lord has been good enough to allow me to hear her voice, really hear it.  I was wide awake and I was not hallucinating.  That was the best TGIF to date.

Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted” -Matthew 5:4

  3. What a special blessing you got today! My sweet Mom has been gone for 17 years and sometimes I wish I could hear her high clear voice sing again. But He comforts me in so many ways--thank God, we'll meet again. Thank you for visiting my blog--I'm following yours now.

  5. That's beautiful! Sorry about the loss of your mother! My mom passed away Aug. 2, 2007, and sometimes it still feels like yesterday. What I wouldn't give to hear her voice just once more. You never in a million years could imagine that the lady who birthed you, raised you, nurtured you and of course was your best friend and sounding board is actually gone. God is so awesome though...He turned my mourning into joy and it makes it all better knowing that she is living her ultimate dream...living in eternity with her Savior!;-)) Thanks for the follow...following you back!
