My dear friends,
I write to you today to share a beautiful testimony with you of a blessed experience I had on the evening of July 3rd.  First let me say that since my son passed away August of 2006, the Lord has been showing himself to me in everything all around.  He's constantly been there to remind me that He cares and that I am treasured. Since my sons death I have opened my heart to the Lord and have been working on worshiping Him more.  Since August the Lord has shown Himself to me through things of nature and answered prayers and talents. July 3rd was different. Since my sons death, my marriage had undergone much damage and pain and the stress of losing a child had only worsened the many problems. A medical company is suing for us on top of thousands of dollars in hospital and dental fees becasue of no insurance and living at poverty level. I recently had to sacrifice a tooth (extraction) because i could not afford a root canal.  I have been tried over and over.  Everytime another trial came I would panic and place my Lord on the back burner, but then He would place a smile on my face by showing me something, for instance the clouds that i saw last week while meditating on my porch. One of the clouds looked just like a puppy dog playing, as i saw it, I smiled and gave thanks, or the rain that fell to wash my tears away.  July 3rd was different, I was tired had to get up at 2 am to deliver a wendesday paper, so I went to bed early.  I tried to sleep but found it hard due to fireworks going off in the neighborhood.  I lay in bed and finally fell asleep.  I started to dream but my dream was interupted buy a facial image, a shadow image of a face. Then I heard a voice, loud and firm say, "I am the God the Almighty", I then felt something enter me and immediatly woke up and had goosbumps all over.  I was somewhat bewildered as to what just happened, and at that instance I realized I had forgotten to say my prayers and talk with my Lord.
Since that night I have felt a sense of peace.  I have been able to forgive and forget and move forward and trust in the Lord to get us through our finacial and marital trials. I have been able to write poems again for He has inspired me.  I believe the Lord firmly spoke to me to let me know that He has not left me.  August 9th is fast approaching as that will be my sons 1yr anniversary of his passing away, i feel that with all the trials going on and the sadness i have been feeling that the Lord made Himself known to me in a way that I will not forget. 
July 4th following my experience I was inspired to share the Lords presence in a poem I wrote called, "Glimpses of You" and you can read it below.
Never lose faith for our Savior reigns and is always by each and every one of our sides, all we have to do is open our heart to see Him. Always talk with Him as I do, even if its in the car or in the bathroom, just say, "I love you Jesus" and He will hear.
I pray that many will be blessed with my testimony.
 

Glimpses Of You

Since that day when my beloved went away,

My heart filled with sorrow

I no longer waited for tomorrow.

But then my heart I opened

When to me you came.

Since that lonely day, I knew

I had seen glimpses of you.

In all your glory, all of your wonders,

You showed me in the rainbows,

And the funny cloud you gave to make me smile.

The squirrel that sat in the tree

Playing so gaily and free.

The birds you placed somewhere near,

A melody they sing to me that I may here.

These are just a few of many.

You've shown me time and time again.

When on the porch I silently pray,

To me, you show your way.

The butterflies fluttering by,

And bunnies that hop nearby.

You've never left me, I see you all around.

In the flowers with all their beauty,

Even the rain falling as it refreshes my senses.

You continuously come to me

In everything you behold.

When my tears are silent

You're there to whisper my name.

When I close my eyes to sleep

You speak to me that I may hear,

Always reminding me that you are near.

Glimpses of you I constantly see,

Since I gave my heart to Thee.
