Mimi, Jesus Is In My Head! Day 354

Tuesday morning as Jillian and Nolan finished their breakfast, I sat at the computer prepared to write.  As usual, I prayed to God, asking him to direct my thoughts, to lead to me to scripture allowing me to compose for His glory, and  meet the needs of the readers!  I started with the title of Promises, however for the first time since writing this blog, I came to a roadblock, it just didn`t flow, as usual!  After a couple of paragraphs I stopped, believing that perhaps what I was to write about, had not even happened yet!  Little did I realize what an eventful day God had planned.

For the first time in over 100 year the east coast experienced a 5.8 magnitude earthquake west of Richmond, Va; with the effects  felt along the coast as far  as Canada.  Just like thousands of people, I have a where were you story.   As Gina and I watched, Jillian, Nolan, Harrison and Hayden frolic at the community beach, we felt tremors of the quake.  The beach has a gigantic cement barrier retaining wall, I`m talking  really big barriers each weighting better than a ton, that Gina and I sat were sitting on.   Suddenly,  to my amazement, I said to Gina this is moving!  Soon the boat anchored at the near by marina began swaying as unexplained waves traveled to the shore.    We joked about an earthquake and a snaumi, as the waves washed to and throw.

  Later we learned the magnitude of the quake, thank you, God that no one was injured!  Judges 5:3-5 Hear this, you kings!  Listen, you rulers!  I will sing to the LORD, I will sing; I will make music to the LORD, the God of Isreal.  O LORD, when you went out from Seir, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, the heavens poured, the clouds poured down water.   The mountains quaked before the LORD, the One of Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Isreal

You`d think that an earthquake would be the ultimate experience for one day, but what happened later that evening blow me a way!  We have an amazing God.   While Rick worked,  Nolan and his parents attended an open-house for school , Jillian and I shared a girl`s-night!  Just Jillian and Mimi, nobody to bother us, time to talk and do whatever our hearts desired.

We decided to sit in the backyard by the lilac bush to chat.  Jillian said she had something that really bothered her and she wasn`t even sure she should talk about it.  I assured her that she could talk to Mimi about anything!  She shared that she has terrible frightening nightmares that scare her. She fears that someone or something will harm her.  The fear and anxiousness were evident in her gestures and expressions, as her voice trembled.

As I listened carefully, I told her that when she wakes up after a nightmare, she should ask Jesus to help her!  I flashed back to my Sozo training and suggested that we pray.  I  prayed while Jillian repeated it word for word, abruptly Jillian said, "Mimi Jesus is in my head!"  He says that he loves me, he`s showing me stuff.  He has on a long white robe, he has long hair, a beard and dark eyes, his teeth are so white they shine when he talks.   He has a husky voice, he says he loves you too Mimi!   Mimi, I see people,  young, old and even babies, they`re really happy and peaceful.  It`s bright and sunny and beautiful yellow!  Jesus is telling me about Sadon(just how she pronounced it) and he`s showing me people that are mean and grumpy, there is fire and dark clouds.  I`m not afraid because Jesus is with me!  Jesus just keep telling me that he loves me!  He loves, me!  Mimi, Jesus loves me!

 I could hardly believe the moment and the reality of what was happening, I gently hugged Jillian and rocked her in my arms, as tears of joy flowed. I love you too, Jesus!  Habakkuk 1:5  "Look at the nations and watch--and be utterly amazed.  For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.

I asked Jillian if I could share this story on the blog, explaining that perhaps, it would touch the lives of people that read it.  She gave her consent, her only concern was that her friends might read it!  But it would be OK if people around the world read it!  Together we searched for just the right picture of Jesus. When  she spotted it, with loud screams of delight and joy, she said that`s it, that`s it, only Jesus was looking right at me! 

Acts 4:31  After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken.  And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

I thank Jesus for joining Jillian and I for girl`s night by the lilac bush, a night that I know Jillian and I will cherish as long as we both live!   WE LOVE YOU JESUS...............AMEN

Father God please have mercy on us as we face the threat of hurricane, Irene, this weekend!
