Joy needed something new. She’d started practicing Buddhism and wanted to become a Shintoist. Multiple deities made more sense than there being only one way. She’d just returned from studying Lao Tzu.
When she stopped to think about it, some things had changed since she walked away from Christianity. She’d always been a seer. As far back as she could remember, she’d seen things in the spirit. Often, she saw things unfold before they happened. Oddly, she hadn’t seen anything during the last seven years. Shrugging, she went inside.
Without warning, Joy’s older sister appeared in a vision in front of her. “Come with me,” her sister said.
In a flash of supernatural translation, Joy found herself in a hospital room in Maryland. Her sister lay in the bed, eyes closed and unmoving. Joy sat beside her.
“It’s time for me to go home,” her sister said.
“No! No! No!” Joy wailed. “You can’t go without me!”
“Joy, I need you to let me go.”
“I don’t know how,” Joy sobbed.
Her sister’s mouth never moved. They were communicating spirit to spirit. Joy had a hard time keeping up with her. The strange thing was that her sister had suffered from what people thought was mild retardation. But she wasn’t retarded. She was just slow.
Except now, she spoke with a sharp brilliance that Joy had never heard before.
“Slow down!” Joy begged.
For a split second, Joy felt her sister’s pain.
“OK, leave!” Joy agreed. “Just go. I don’t want you in that kind of pain.”
“Joy, I know you’re practicing other religions. I understand that you’re searching. But listen, Jesus is coming to get me. He’ll come again one day. Choose whom you will serve.”
Making a U-Turn
“That experience turned my life around,” Joy admits. “As my sister left this world, I got a glimpse of blinding light. Behind her stood a Man, who I knew was Jesus. As I matured in the Lord, I realized that I’d lived life on my own terms. I never asked God whom I should marry. Yet, when things didn’t work out, I blamed Him for my choices.
