“Lord will You show us please, the way that you want us to go.

Psalm: 32-8. “I will instruct you in the ways you should go”

Should we keep sending out resumes, or should we start our own business?”

We had started to do some catering, but what we needed was a kitchen to work from.

You can spend a lot of money and time sending out resumes, but what we needed to know was, is it the way to go, or do we start our own business?

A decision that was not easy to make. We needed help!

A few days later I received a dream. It was a very short one and I call them popcorn dreams, as it was one scene only. I saw a boardroom with several people in it and what struck me was that I saw myself in that room.

I told Hugo that I believed we were shown, that we would be in business for ourselves, and that I would be involved also.

When you get an answer like that, you just don't sit on the sofa and wait for something to happen. We went to look for a place to start our own catering company. We needed a walk-in freezer and a walk-in fridge. Hugo spotted an ad selling just what we needed.

It happened to be a large restaurant that wanted to downsize. (The place had 134 seats).

While we were waiting for the manager to talk to us, I said to Hugo: “Would you look at this place, you could do your catering right here.”

The manager and Hugo started talking when he said; “Maybe we can do something for each other. I would like you to meet my partner, how about this Wednesday? We could have a meeting.” He then looked at me and said; "I would like you to be there too!"

When we left that restaurant, I told Hugo that this restaurant would be his.

Hugo thought that I was crazy, I reminded him of my dream, but he still could not believe it. Well only a few weeks later that place was called Hugo's!

I have had other such dreams, and it is very exciting when you see it come to pass.

Years later Hugo had gone back to working for a company and was being transferred to Ottawa, that is, if he would get the job. He had been told that there was another candidate he would have to compete with. Just before he was ready to leave, I said: “Honey that job is yours and there is no other candidate either.”

I don't know where that came from it just flew out of my mouth before I could stop it. It was exactly as I had said, the job was his and there was indeed no other person competing for it. This had to be from the Lord, for I would not, could not, ever say such a thing coming from myself.

I was at a prayer meeting, when while in prayer, I had a vision of a guard and a person trying to smuggle Bibles. I started to pray for the safety of the smuggler right away as I sensed that he was in danger of being discovered. Afterwards I told the others what I had seen, and that I had prayed for that person. Much to my surprise one of the people there said that she had seen the same vision. We all knew then that what we had seen really did happen, for it was confirmed. The Lord used us in that prayer meeting to save a person from harm. Yes, it is exciting, for He does work through people!

I had a friend called Netty her whole family was from the Mormon religion. Netty had gone legally blind, but this did not stop her from gardening. She was one of these people who could do more being blind, than others that could see. She was a very special person. Netty had assured me that she was a Christian.

For some reason every time we would meet, I would ask if she was sure. Her answer would always be that she was indeed sure.

One morning I woke up, thought about Netty and I heard myself say that I had to talk to Netty, before she died. This was very strange as Netty was not even sick as far as I knew. When I came to her house, I said again as I had done on numerous occasions; “Netty are you sure that you are a Christian?” To my surprise this time she said that she was not sure. I said to her that we would make it sure today, and we said the sinners prayer together.

Netty phoned her daughter that evening. All she told her that all was well now.

The daughter did not know what the mother referred to, but I did.

I believe that Netty did not want to tell her very strict Mormon daughter, that she was now a Christian. I received a phone call a few hours later. Netty had died that night!

Over the years I had popcorn dreams or visions I would dream about my ex-husband. It was always just one scene, I thought, “Oh well, he is just thinking about me that is all.”

Then one day, I did have a vision that showed me that he was in danger. I could clearly tell this. I decided to find him, I felt that I was given this knowledge for a reason, why? I had no clue.

I managed to get his social security number from an old boss of his.

I gave it to the Red Cross and they found him for me. When I got him on the phone, the first question that I asked him was, if he was in trouble. He was shocked; “Yes, I sure am, but how could you possibly know that?”

We had not talked or corresponded for about sixteen years.

He went on to tell me that his mail was not getting through, that he had been shot at and had been threatened. This was all because he was suing an old boss for not paying him over time, when he had worked many extra hours.

I told him that I was now a Christian, and that I knew that he was in some kind of trouble, as the Lord had shown me.

He was very surprised to hear it. He then told me that he now knew what it meant to lose me. I told him that is was too bad that he had to lose me before he realized that.

I have to admit that it felt good to hear him say this.

I then proceeded to send him scriptures and how to except the Lord as his own personal Saviour.

I have never contacted him again. I witnessed to him, as I believed that is what the Lord wanted me to do.

Why me I wondered, well I have found out that my ex had become like a recluse, staying away from people. So it was through me that the Lord chose to work. It must have been something like that, for I never had another dream or vision about him after that.

Yes, He does work through people!

All of us at one time have heard His voice, but we often ignore it and later we say, after we realize that we made a mistake, I knew it! I should have listened to it. If only we could learn to listen to that inner voice all the time.

There was one time I did listen and I am still so grateful that I did.

We had gone to Seymour Mountain and had Hugo’s two boys with us. We had brought a large truck tube. Hugo and I lay side-by-side, the boys on our backs and way we went.

As kids we never owned a sled, we used a piece of cardboard instead.

The second time around I got it into my head to try and steer that thing, to manoeuvre it like I has seen the kids do on their sleds. Yes, on a truck tube! Somehow I got my foot stuck, and I mentioned this to Hugo when we got to the bottom of the hill.

It did not really hurt that much, so Hugo said; “I hope that you can make it back up the hill by yourself, for it won’t be easy otherwise, it is a steep hill.”

Now I have to admit that I like to show off sometimes, also to show how tough I can be. I contemplated to climb that hill, but there was no way I could mistake what I heard in my head next.

A voice that said loud and clear; “Don’t even try it” this is not even language that I use. As I said this is against my nature not

too show off.

But I listened, and I am so glad that I did. We made it back up the hill somehow without my sore foot touching the ground. Then Hugo took me to the first aid. There was no swelling at all, it did not look bad, but we were advised to go to the hospital anyway to have some pictures taken.

The doctor who was on duty that night thought I would be just fine, probably just a sprain. She did take some ex- rays anyway. When she came back with the pictures, we could read from her face that things had changed she looked very worried.

The doctor said; “I am afraid that I have bad news, your ankle is shattered in four places. You may never walk again!”

Wow, this is incredible, there was nothing to see, and there still was no swelling, none at all. I had a cast put on up to my hip, it took awhile to heal and for about a year, my ankle was stiff in the morning only.

I am walking today just fine, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that, had I tried to walk on my foot even one step, I would not be able to walk today. I am so grateful that I heard and listen, to His voice.

Praise and thank you Jesus!

There was another time that I was very glad that I listened. I was supposed to go to church with a lady across the street, when I told Hugo that I didn’t feel so great, I told him that I was not going to church that day.

Hugo was painting the bathroom and I started to read a book. A few hours later, totally out of the blue, I asked Hugo if he would take me to the emergency. Hugo told me later that he thought that I had “flipped my wig” he wanted to know why I felt it necessary to go.

I told him that I felt I needed to get some test done before I would see my doctor the next day. In the hospital it was discovered that I had an infection, but they did not know where. I had to come back the next day, and more tests were done. No female problems of any kind were found. By now I am holding my stomach, it felt like I was about to drop “my baby”. That afternoon I went to see my family doctor. I could now tell him what test had been done so far, and what had been found out.

He told me to go to the hospital right away.

That evening at eight o’clock, they opened me up. They did not know what to expect, so they had two teams of doctor’s ready. The best surgeon in town was on duty, he was to leave the very next day to start his vacation.

My own family doctor was assisting. He told me later that my colon had perforated. He told me that I was a real mess.

Feces were all through my body peritonitis had already set in.

Had I waited one day I would have most likely died I was told.

I now had to wear a colostomy bag for the next six months.

I have found myself in traffic and felt that the Lord would have me pray for the people around me.

I would hear myself say; “But Lord, I don’t know these people,”

“That is true child, but I do!”

The more you realize that the Lord works through you, the more you want Him to work through you. I have received some great answers to prayer. Some friends have asked me to pray for them, for as they say, the Lord listens to you. That is nonsense of course, I believe that when I pray that I can expect an answer, not always in the time that I would like it to be answered, and not always the way I hope to get my answer.

But answering my prayer, He will most surely do!

So I am anticipating His answer and I believe that a lot of people pray and then forget about it thus missing the answer at times.

When we pray the Lord will start to set things in motion. And yes He works through people.

I have had answers to one-sentence prayers.

The Lord wants us to pray to Him, for that is the way to communicate with us. Is it not mind blowing that the great Creator Himself set it up this way? Yes, He already knows what we want and need before we ask, but that is the thing, He wants us to ask. I sincerely wonder how much I would talk to the Lord in prayer, otherwise.

Hugo and I are now married eighteen years and we are still in love. I think even more than when we first met. We are so tuned into each other, that we can finish each other’s sentences.

It is easy to love Hugo, as he is considerate and thoughtful, a very kind and gentle person.

He likes to spoil me, but I like to do the same for him. I believe that when you each try to do things for each other you can't lose.

It is like what Jack Kennedy said, and I like to rephrase it; "Don’t ask what he can do for you, but ask what you can do for him.”

When the Lord is the one looking out for you because you asked Him to, you can’t go wrong.

He will pick you a winner. You are the King's kid!

Someone said to me, that we are all His children.

We could be, but that is up to us. God gave us free will he did not create robots. If you want to belong to God's family, you can.

It is up to you to tell Him that you want to be His child.

This is not an automatic thing you must come to Him.

You can come just as you are no need to wait until you are sober, or whatever stands between you and the Lord.

It is your sins that separate you from your Father in Heaven.

He knows that you are a sinner He wants to help you change.

You have tried to do that yourself already and as you have discovered, it does not work. You need His help.

I believe that the Lord wants to help you more than you want to be helped.

If you are on drugs, he can set you free.

What ever your problem is, He can and will help you.

Why don't you let Him? I know that you will never be sorry that you did. Being a Christian is to me, very exciting I know that this is just the start; many good things are waiting for us now, and later.

Without salvation that only Jesus Christ can give you, you won't get eternal life. Jesus says that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

See it this way you are as a non-Christian, under the sentence of death.

Now see yourself in an imaginary jail, waiting to be put to death.

There is a knock on the door, it is the warden he is bringing you good news.

He tells you that there is someone who is willing to die in your place.

The warden wants to know from you, if you want to receive this free pardon, a free gift!

What would be your answer to that offer?

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Not of a result of works, that no one should boast”

Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8-9

If you want to know how you can become one of His children and if this prayer reflects how you feel, repeat this prayer;

Dear Lord and Saviour,

I know that I have sinned against you and that I am not living within your plan.

For this, I ask your forgiveness. I believe that you died for me, and in doing so, paid the penalty for my sins. I am willing to turn from sin and I now ask you to come into my heart and my life and be my personal Saviour.

Help me now, to follow and obey you as Lord and to find your perfect will for my life. Thank you Lord for saving my soul.

Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debt, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine are the kingdom, and the power, and the glory
forever. Amen.

In the beginning of my story, I told you how I was afraid of dying because that teacher made me believe I could be buried alive. I now know that I will never die again, my body maybe buried, but my soul will live with the Lord forever!

I pray with all my heart, that we will meet on the other side someday.

I pray for a very large family. “So you all come you hear?”

May the lord bless you and keep you. I pray that these stories will glorify the Lord.

I pray that lost souls will find the Saviour through these stories, as that was the main objective.
