Experience Description

Well the nurse told me to count to ten. It seemed like I had just closed my eyes yet opened them. Like my mind was wide awake. I was going through a dark tunnel. It seemed like a part of me was scared of lying on the bed. I looked left and right but all I could see was the fast speed that I was going through the tunnel then I saw some light at the end of the tunnel. Before I knew it, I was standing there in heaven. I could hear the angels sing in the most beautiful voice one can't imagine. Then I heard the voice of the Lord, like he was in front of the angels and I was trying to go through, but God said it was not my time. But I wanted to go in. Then God said turn and look. (It's a voice you obey.) So I turned and I could see all the doctors there working on me, like when you look out a window and see the full moon so close, I too saw myself. When I turned back to tell the Lord I wanted to stay. I woke-up back in my body; I woke crying, the nurse though I was crying because I had lost my baby. She told me they had lost me for a minute and was glad I was all right.

Yes, I cried because I lost my baby later that same day. But I woke crying because I wanted to stay up in heaven with God.
