A memory of your mom

I was drinking my coffee this morning when this memory surfaced.
I will write it as it came to me.


I recall a time when Vivian and I had one of our 'chats' during one of 'once a year' visits. She took my hands and said, "Julie, I see God in you more and more everytime I see you." Then she begin to share her life with me and this is what she said.
She shared that as God was transforming her from the life of sin to the life of following Jesus, many people around her thought she was going crazy and said so. She said the more she got to know God, the more she wanted to be like Him. Vivian said, "Julie, they just didn't understand. It hurt when they would say thngs, but I didn't understand what was happening to me and neither did they. I just knew that whatever I felt led to do I was going to do it."
(She continued her discourse with me).
As the transformation continued in her life, people begin to see Jesus in her and realized she ws becoming a different person in Christ. The road was bumpy for her and some didn't believe before they started to see Jesus was directing her and changing her life. She just stayed in His Presence,talking to Him in prayer and listening for His voice to speak to her. The transformation continued and God begin to use her more and more. That was when the burning started coming in her hands when God wanted her to pray for people she said. She said, "Julie, unless a kernal of corn fall into the ground and die, it won't produce ears of corn, will it? Glory to God, Julie! I'm willing to die so I can produce souls."
Now,I, Julie want to say this: Look what a beautiful butterfly your mother became in the Kingdom of God! What a heritage you have.......I hope you know how blessed you are to have had such a mother!
Well, this came to me and I just wanted to share. If any of you......her children are wanting to change more for Christ...maybe you are a bit...well..bewildered...know that your mom was too, but she stayed in His Presence anyway and look at what a blessing she was to so many.
I loved her and miss her and our 'chats'.
Well, I just wanted to share a memory with you.
God Bless,
Julie
