As I heard the nurse calling for the paddles, I remember screaming in my head, “God, I’m not ready to die!” The next thing I remember is grabbing at my face because I couldn’t breathe. As I came to, my nurse was getting off of me and so many people were in my room in a panic of chaos. It was then I realized I did not die, but now things really got serious and things didn’t look so good!
Over the next several days I was watched around the clock and I realized that God definitely had a plan for me. Jeremiah 29:11 eventually became a Sign from God and my favorite verse in the Bible.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
While God never promised us life would be easy, He did say He would be right there with us guiding us and holding us by our right hand. He did this for me that I am certain. There are times in life when God just has to take control. He realizes we need a break and sometimes forces us to do so! That’s what He did for me and I will be forever grateful.
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ~ Isaiah 41:10
Not only did I change through self-development, but my experience also helped change the course of how leadership at my job manages their projects and their teams now. If my experience helped even just one other person, it was all worth it! Since then, I am no longer intimated by anyone. I take life as it comes and know that God always has a better plan than I do. His timing is all that matters. If something doesn’t work out the way I planned, I am thankful that His plan will be much greater than I ever imagined. Trust me, I’m human and sometimes it does take me a little while to swallow my disappointment, but it doesn’t take long before God shows His hand and I am moving forward with much anticipation and excitement of what comes next in this journey with Him by my side!
We are a mother and daughter team following God's lead to inspire others. The inspiration for all of our work began in 1980. My mother suffered from a nervous breakdown after suffering for five years before she experienced a miraculous healing where God breathed life back into her and did what the doctors couldn't. Since 1980, it has been our goal to tell her story and share her testimony; however, things always seemed to get in the way. Fast forward 35 years forward and God began giving us signs that now was the time. Both of us had received signs from God over the years, and in 2014 it was apparent that it was time to finally move forward with our writing journey. I started documenting my signs from God, and then one day after praying to God I heard this relentless voice urging me to put a post on Facebook asking others for their signs from God and their loved ones. This was way out of my comfort zone, but I listened to that voice, and could not believe the outcome. The stories started flowing in so fast I couldn't keep up with them. It was apparent this was a God-driven task, and the outcome was amazing. I had never written a book before, but God led me every step of the way until it was published. Signs come in many different forms, and this book captures many of them from pennies, to feathers, to dreams, dream visits, and even spiritual encounters. It will leave you wanting to hear more, and we have so much more to tell! This book includes my mother's testimony of her miraculous healing, and it is now our goal to depict those five agonizing years of her life into a biography. You will be able to relive with us that horrific ordeal through the eyes of the mother who was trapped in her own body, and the daughter watching her once loving mother, now in a catatonic state-of-mind during a very vulnerable age when she needed her mother the most. This has been the driving force behind our writing journey and all of the inspirational messages we wish to share with others that may be struggling or needing to recognize their own signs from God.
