A Near Death Experience, No. 72.

Wake up after my NDE.

I had surgery and the first night after, woke up with a blood pressure cuff and moniter on my arm. I looked at the reading and it was 40/20. I asked the nurse if I was going to die, and she just looked at me.

Then I was lifted out of my bed and into the most glorious light. My first thought was "I don't want to die" because of my kids. But then I knew I was in the presence of the Lord and told Him if he wanted me he could take me.

I basked in the light, and felt the most unconditional love I've ever felt in my life. I knew there was life after death and that I was love always. My heart almost burst with that love.

I fell asleep, and when I woke up in the morning I asked my son if he saw what happened in the night. He said "No". I asked my roommate and she said "No". I was overwhelmed that the Lord loved me so much to give me that experience.

My life now is to serve the Lord anyway I can, and I am no longer afraid of dying! I love life and I love the Lord with all my heart and soul. I didn't see him...but feeling his presence was wonderful. Words can't describe it.
