Experience Description

There was darkness but I was in a light and the light was warm, loving, and peaceful. It was God's light. I mean that is what he is. My soul was in his soul, light, or something like that. It was so wonderful I didn't want to leave but someone said I had to go back. I could hear my mum saying, "Don't you leave us! Lisa don't you leave us!" At times, I would come to and open my eyes. I would see my mum by my side, but then I would be back there in God's light. After I finely came back, I was so angry because I wanted to stay because it was so peaceful.
