For the life of me; I cant remember what was wrong with me at this time! I have been in the hospitals 17+ times up to now! But I know God was wanting to reach me in a time of feeling useless; I went to the hospital and they put me in the orthopedic room on the first floor (I was not supposed to be there for I didn't have any bone problem) but in here was the only ground level window where I could see what God was able to show me His answer. I was feeling down for some reason. As I was laying there the Holy Spirit told me to sit at the window and I did this immediately. (I have learned to move when He say's to.) Outside the window were several rose bushes; severely pruned. Behind them was a large metal trailer, painted tan, and had rust showing up from the bottom running upward like tongues of fire. Beyond that, there were tall trees. They had new growth on the limbs, with bright new leaves. For it was spring. The Holy Spirit said, "Do you see the rose bushes?" I said, "Yes sir." (At this point I began to cry softly!) He said, "As they are pruned, so am I pruning you. Now do you see the rust on the building? (It was like brownish flame.) Again I said, "Yes sir." He said; that represents the sin that creeps into your life as you allow it. Now look up. I saw the trees. He said, "The new growth on the limbs is a picture of you as I cleanse and make you new." I have grown tremendously since then! You cannot imagine the joy I was feeling to see, feel, and know that He cares so much for us! I can't tell adequately how awesome it is to literally feel His presence on, around, and in me. While I was there I had a heart episode and they took me to another floor for observation. There was a group of student nurses that came in ;( unsupervised!) And I was talking about my Jesus to them and they were clinging to every word. They were like a group of children receiving candy treats. The head nurse came in and got on them about staying there. (Ha, ha) It is such a joy to see the Lord move! I don't remember ever having a BAD moment in all my times of hospital care. He says you must die so He can live in and through you! I can't tell you how to do this in your life, but it takes "In His face" prayers to do it. Be ready: for the next minute may be your next encounter with the Holy one, Jesus Christ! It is joy and unspeakable and full of glory!
