Experience Description I entered a tunnel and then saw a bright light. I was above the earth and saw flowers. There were also mountains rising up to the clouds. I ended up standing with a cloaked man, whom I recognized as Jesus. He gave me the most amazing hug. The love and positive energy I can still feel today. Telepathically, he told me to come with him and held out his hand. I remember thinking, "Wait, I get to go in?" Then I realized I couldn't do it. I thought, "Oh my, I'm going to have to commit blasphemy to Jesus' face." I told him, "Wait, I can't go. I have to go back. I have kids and they have no father; they need me." I couldn't believe I had just told Jesus I didn't want to go to heaven. But, he lovingly told me, "That is was okay. No big deal. You can come back here, but you have to live two more lives first." I said, "Wait, my kids need me now; I don't have time for that." He laughed and said, "Of course, you have all of the time in the world. Time's not real. Everything is happening at the exact same time. Don't worry, you won't miss a thing." Then he snapped his fingers. I saw myself alive in 1930's in France. I was alive in the 1800s in the southwestern U.S. or Mexico area. I was married to a man with dark hair, dark eyes, and a nice smile. We had a picnic under a tree. Then I woke up in my house. I didn't recognized anything in my room. I didn't recognize my boyfriend at the time or any of my things. But, I heard my kids' voices. Snap! It all came back to me. I started crying so hard and thanking Jesus for letting me come back. I give all glory to him. He's amazing. Two weeks later, I met that exact man I was married to in my second extra life I was shown. We are now married. Amen. Thank you, Jesus. Glory to God on high. Jesus is the most loving being and has an endless amount of patience and love for us.
