Echoes of Memory by Sally Cave's avatar

I cried my heart out as I read this. Now I sit here and feel peace. What a roller coaster. What a testimony! The description is so vivid. Praise God that Lindsay was given the gift of seeing Jordan in his heavenly home. Just wonderful! Thanks for sharing this, Julie. This is powerful.

Aww sorry to make you teary--glad for the peace you now feel. :-) This is just one of the many powerful stories in "Routed to Heaven." Your story in there is powerful, too, Sally! Lindsay did get another visit and I think it is so cool that when she changed her perspective/focus, He rewarded her in such a way. Truly beautiful.

Lindsey Wessinger's story is vivid, touching and amazing. God works in such wonderful ways. He brings us peace in the worst of times because He's completely in control. He knows the end of the story and loves us through our nightmares.

He does indeed! I am so very grateful for that as well. He saw her deep need and honored her mind-switch. He is a compassionate and generous God. Thanks for coming by, Ginni!

I cannot imagine losing a child. I can imagine your journey to visit him in Heaven. I too was born with heart defects. I was frequently in and out of the hospital as a child. When I was about ten, I was extremely sick, and I don't know if it was a dream, a vision, or if I died. I was taken to see Jesus at the entrance to Heaven. The intense colors, Presence, I don't know the words. I was given a choice. To stay with Him, or, if I was willing to share His Love on Earth, to return to life. I chose to return. He has blessed me with a sensitivity to those who have died and the ability to sometimes observe or visit them in Heaven. In so many ways, I feel I have failed Him, because I haven't done all I could have. I have tried to live with love for others, encouraging them as I was able. As I start a new life as a writer, I pray that I will hear His voice, and give what I can... Thank you for sharing this beautiful vision and your experience of God's love!!!

You are so amazing. I'm so glad God gave you what you needed to ease your pain. As a mother, I can't imagine a loss more painful. You are an inspiration. God bless you, Cat

Oh gosh that brought tears to my eyes, firstly tears of sorrow for what a mother had to go through. Then tears of joy that God had heard a mother's prayers and answered them by sending her a dream that reassured her that her son was in God's house, whole and happy.

Thank you Lord 🙏🙏

Such a difficult situation for them all. I cannot imagine. I am so grateful that God heard her plea. Although nothing can make up for losing a kiddo, God has brought her comfort in the best way possible. <3 Thanks for coming by today!

What a beautiful story. I believe it's true because when my dad was 92 he gave himself to the Lord, but despite his prayer and tears, I wasn't sure he'd make it to heaven. Two years later, my nephew noticed that he'd mellowed out a lot. Around that time, he died and I was deeply worried. A few weeks later, my husband and I were in church. During worship he saw my father, decades younger, on what looked like a large TV screen, leaping for joy in a field of flowers, happier than he'd ever been all his life. I was so grateful that the Lord sent us this message because now I know he's safe with Jesus and we'll be together soon.

Oh my goodness, what a very cool story Ginni! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. We should put that one in Book 2! :-)

I'm so sorry for your Loss of your Precious Son💙 I learned from Women of Grace, (host Johnnette Williams), that when I Lost my Mom to cancer when I was 8 yrs., & Johnnette Lost her Son, Simeon, to a car crash… that God will sometimes Take Home a person~ When Their Heart Is The Closest To God❣️ Take Comfort in this, & God Is Always WITH You! You're in my Prayers, God Bless You!

Letting go has definitely been key in my relationship with God, too. I guess there is a reason we've always heard the adage, "Let go and let God." Often, trusting Him remains a choice and not always an easy one. More often than not, a difficult one. But just as we choose our focus, so we choose our trust.
