Jacqueline B's NDE

I was at my friends going away/B-day party. and she had a pool so it was a pool party. so we were doing this game under water to see who could hold there breath the longest. well I can hold my breath for about 50 sec, so I went first. so I dived into the pool and the pool sweeper was down there. and I had a lot of time left so I tried to bring the pool sweeper up out of the pool. but the cord got stuck on the drain, and I couldn't get loose. then my friends Shelby and Lizzie dived in to see if I was ok. well me and Lizzie know Sign Language so I singed to her H.E.L.P. so they found out and tried to help me. so I was running out of air and then I past out and then everything turned black. when I woke up I was out of the pool and everyone was jumping in the pool. When they came out Shelby and Lizzie were holding my body! At this point I was freaking out! Then Shelby put her ear next to my mouth and said, "she's not breathing!" and Sarah (the birthday  girl) started crying.  Lizzie said, "go call 911!". Sarah went into the house then came back out into the back yard and said, "the phone is dead!"  So Lizzie said, "go next door!". Then Shelby and Lizzie started CPR. Then I turned around and saw this very, very bright light.  Then I was in what seemed like a tunnel but it was a white, white, white color! After all this happened, I looked in paint stores and I couldn't find it anywhere! It was a white color! While I'm going up this thing, my whole life flashed before my eyes! after that, BOOM I was standing before a golden city! You see I am a Christian, and I believe in Jesus Christ. and now I know that he is real! because in the Bible, it states that heavens streets are so pure gold that you can see through them! and you can! but I can't say how beautiful it is in words! so, I was waiting in line at first, behind all these people. Then it was my turn. I was standing in front of this BIG guy, who I think was an angel. and he was holding this BIG book, and I think it was the lamb's book of life. Because if you let Jesus come into your life by asking him, your name will be in the lamb's book if life, and nothing and nobody can take it out. The angel guy asked me for my name, and I told him. When he looked for it he said, "I sorry but it is not your time." so that got me kinda mad. so I said to him, "why is it not my time?!?! I'm ready to die! my life sucks!!

My best friend died three years ago!! why is it not my time?!?!" and then he turned around as if someone was talking to and turned back around to me again and said, "someone wants to talk to you." then he pointed to the gate with the city behind it. but someone was standing there. at first I couldn't see who it was but when I got close I couldn't talk, because it was Jake. you see, Jake, my best friend, died in a car accident five years ago in August of 2001. We were both seven years old. and when I saw him there I ran to the gate as fast as I could! and when I got there, we both reached out and grabbed each others hands and cried. he looked my age, but I knew it was him. and I fill stupid in saying, this but he got cute since the last time I saw him! ha ha ha! then we talked for a while, about things that happened, about each other, and then the angel said, "its time for you to go back." so I turned to Jake and said, "bye Jake." Jake said, "see you soon." "I hope so." I said. so I went back down the tunnel and watched Jake get smaller, and smaller as I went down. then I was back on earth! Shelby and Lizzie still doing CPR. but then Sarah came back to the backyard and said, "nobody's home! we looked on the HOLE street and NOBODY is home!!!" "how is that possible?!?!" Lizzie asked. "I don't know!!" Sarah said.

Then out of nowhere these two paramedics came to the backyard with a defibrillator, and a breathing mask and took over! Sarah was asking them, "who are you guys?!?!" they did not answer! they were just doing CPR and did not say a word the hole time! then they shocked me with the defibrillator, 18 times by my count. then they did it again but this time I felt it! and it did NOT fill good!! it fills like when you prick yourself with a needle, but ALL OVER YOUR BODY! then they did it again, then one more time then I started breathing again. I was spiting out water, I couldn't breath, I was just scared! then Sarah said that right after I started breathing, paramedics took of! so she went after them! she said that she was so close that she could have grabbed there shirt! so they closed the door behind, but since Sarah was that close, she opened the door right after that but they were gone! she looked everywhere! but she could not find them! so we all got together to talk about it and we all guessed the paramedics where angels, and we didn't think anyone would believe us so we all agreed no to tell anyone. but I won't forget that day, and I don't think the others will ether.
