Earthquake…

This am around 5am I woke up to a house that was being shaken violently. My husband then terrified grabbed my arm tightly. I was very shocked by this as I had never seen him afraid before. This is coming from a man who falls asleep to murder mysteries. I then try to break free from his grasp knowing I need to get to my Vinny ASAP. I then said loudly” Babe let go, I have to get Vinny!” Once I was free I took off running to Vinny’s room all while the earthquake continued. It felt as if this was lasting forever. By the time I jumped into bed with Vinny the shaking had stopped. Being that this was first earthquake he was terrifies. His heart was beating so fast, tears were streaming down his face and his body was shaking.
I was then able to pray with him and offer comfort. I explained to him that sometimes the earth shakes. It is okay. I told him of a safe place to hide next time this happens, and I promised him that mommy would meet him in our safe place. I began to pray with him, while I was praying for him I felt God come to me in a dream.
I heard a voice say “all these things are temporary.” In an instant everything I have can be taken. I then saw everything I own crumble down to the bottom of the earth. All I could do was lay over my Vinny to try to protect him from the rubble. In a flash we were underneath the building. I could feel the pain of the building breaking my back. In my dream I knew Vinny and I were dying. I then cried out to God with these words “please take the breath from our bodies Lord; I do not want to watch my son suffer and die God. I cannot see this again. He then in an instant took our breaths. I woke up in tears.
I learned so much from this dream. I learned that I need to find what I am putting my energy into. I am putting it into something eternal? Or temporary? I have tears rolling down my cheeks as I relive this dream. I also felt like God was telling me that he did that for Isaiah. He took his breath. He did that so he wouldn’t have to suffer. He loved him that much, thank you Lord for loving him that much. I am going to go off on a little tangent…. I just have to tell you that I cannot for one second imagine living this life without my heavenly father. I could not go one day without having Isaiah on this earth if my heavenly father wasn’t beside me every step of the way. I hear all the time. How can you be so strong? How can you smile and trust God in this time? I feel like screaming out “are you kidding me!” How do you not??? For those that are reading this and have lost a child and do not want to run to him, or maybe you’re afraid to trust him, or maybe you just don’t know if this is real. Please don’t give up. He is the way, the truth, the light! Literally he will bring light to your life, just give him the chance. If I am right what do you have to lose? If I am wrong, no harm done.
John 14:6 “Jesus answered, am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
2 Timothy 3:16-17- All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Dear Lord, I pray that you bless every person reading this. I know that you know the deepest desires and the struggles of our hearts. I pray that you would bring about clarity in every situation. For every mother that has lost a child I pray a special blessing. I pray that you will help us appreciate what we have, and not focus on what we don’t. I pray that you will send us the constant reminder that we will see our babies again. In Jesus Name, Amen.
