Battle Buddies: Day 17
Sorry for the late post, but I had a very weird morning that I contemplated even posting. Some of you may look at me as crazy……..but I can't stop thinking about it. Last night was restless, and it felt like I woke up every two hours. Right around 5:30 am, I woke up with a heavy pressure on my chest and an overwhelming feeling of fear and dread. Then it spoke. The devil/demon seemed frustrated at me for some reason, maybe because I have resisted temptation, idk….but then he vanished. The dread and fear have been replaced with calmness and love. I sat up, and in the darkroom, I saw….an angel. He was the only figure in the room so bright that it was like looking at a work of art under a light in a gallery. He was gone as soon as I looked at the angel. I wasn't scared; I didn't freak out that I thought someone was in my house. I just felt………….at peace. Truly at peace. The only reason why I believe this really happened was because when I fell asleep for the night I had my retainers in but after those events I took them out and when I woke up I was without my retainers. God protects us when we sleep from the demons who want to take us away…….I have been overwhelmed with emotions about what happened to me. I could barely focus at work today because of it I believe God protects us while we sleep but was I saved from the devil about to take me? Was it all a dream?…..Why save me?…….. Battle Buddies Robert and Jan God does care about you. He cares about all of us in this community and this world. I'm so thankful for our little battle buddy group growing that I am actual starting to see the benefits of quitting flourish. I thank God everyday that I have met you guys. You have gotten me through the toughest of battles and I couldn't ask for anyone better to continue this journey.
amen! the Lord is closest to you when you least expect it!
