I started this blog on July 7th and I could not for the life of me finish it. It was too hard. L Here you go, 3 months later.
A while ago I wanted to call my grandpa to see how he was doing. Instead of dialing the house number, I dialed my Grandma’s cell. Her face came up on my phone and I couldn’t hang up… so I stayed on until I heard her voice. It made me cry and it made me miss her even more. I wondered what she was doing at that exact moment in Heaven. I even asked God to show me. He hasn’t, but there’s always time. Which brings me to this:
On June 18th my sisters and I went back to New Mexico because we were told that my grandma caught phenomena and she was expected to live for at least 24 hours. L We were there at the hospital with a lot of our family members and some friends. We prayed and prayed that God would heal Grandma, but that wasn’t His will for her life. He wanted to take her home the next day. She was finally going to meet her Father, the Father whom she followed and served most of her life. Right before she passed I was praying for her and I felt so strongly in my Spirit that God was going to take her home, but I didn’t want to feel that, I didn’t want Him to take her yet. Then the Lord opened up my eyes spiritually and He showed me Angels…. Angels filled the entire room. They were waiting to take her home. I felt happy and sad at the same time. I was happy because she would NEVER feel pain again and I was sad because I wasn’t going to see her anymore. At least until I get to Heaven. I was afraid to tell everyone because we all wanted her to get better.
The doctor told us she wasn’t going to make it and that we should all say our goodbyes. So we crammed into the room, everyone hugged her and kissed her, said what they had to say. Then my dad started praying in tongues and Holy Spirit filled the room. The Lord spoke through my dad, (interpretation) He said a lot of things, mostly encouraging the family to forgive, forget, and to surrender their life to Jesus and at the exact moment the Lord said, “I’m taking her now, she’s right here in my arms.” Her heart stopped. She was on her way to Heaven. Of course we were all sad that she wasn’t with us here on earth anymore but we were also happy that she finished her race and she was finally with Jesus. After we left her room we all sat in the waiting room and I was thinking about what I had seen and just then my parents were on the phone with my pastor. He said that on his way into Gallup to pray for my Grandma he seen many Angels going back up into the sky right around the time my Grandma passed. So I told them what the Lord had showed me and it just goes to show how AWESOME my God is. That’s right, CONFIRMATION!!! He confirmed what I seen and what Pastor Sammie had seen. J
My Grandma was a pastor’s wife for many years until they both retired a few years ago. She loved the Lord with all her heart and she made sure that her grandchildren, my siblings and I knew God. Most of my childhood memories involve her: taking us to Bible camps, camp meetings at our church, playing Volleyball, Children’s church, all the fun games we used to play, my sister and I singing, my Grandma singing in Navajo, my Daddy playing the guitar for us and all the times she used to scratch my back in church. Lol… She used to make us a homemade breakfast burrito every morning with fresh tortillas before taking us to the bus stop. She always took us to the bus stop, everyday. And she always gave us money for lunch at school, chips & a soda. J She even helped raise Josiah & Alicia when I was in college. She was the best Grandma anyone could ask for, I miss her so much.
Romans 14:8-9
If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
One day our life on earth will come to an end. Which place do you think you will go: Heaven or Hell? Its your choice so choose wisely for it will be your life for ETERNITY! Get right with God before its too late.
I’ll see you in Heaven Grandma, I love you!
In Loving Memory of my Beautiful Grandma

God saw you were getting tired,
and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you,
and whispered, "Come go with Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer,
and saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best.
It's lonesome without you.
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn't seem the same,
since you have gone away.
When days are sad and lonely,
we seem to hear you whisper,
"Cheer up and carry on."
Each time we seen your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
"Don't cry, I'm in God's Hands,
we'll meet again someday!"
