My Miracle Story
by
Many years ago (over 20 now) I lived in a two bedroom house with my
husband. He went to school days and worked nights so I was there alone
in the evenings a lot. Because we had a tight budget, we lived in a
run down neighborhood. It wasn’t a bad neighborhood, but it wasn’t
good either. We lived right on the boundaries of a bad area. I didn’t
like being alone at nights, but there was nothing that we could do
about it. My family lived over an hour away so I couldn’t go there at
nights because it was too far to drive in the mornings to work. As
soon as the sun would start to go down I would go through the whole
house and make sure all the windows and doors were closed and locked,
pulled all the curtains and drapes and shut to door to the spare
bedroom. Sometimes I would have the feeling I was being watched, but
when I would turn around no one was there. When I would go to bed, it
would take me a long time to go to sleep. I just thought it was
because I had never lived alone before getting married and I just
wasn’t use to being alone at night.
One night I did my usual routine, locking all the windows and doors,
closing drapes and shutting the door to the spare bedroom. I was
brushing my teeth and I felt like someone was behind me. I looked in
the mirror behind me but saw no one. I told myself that I was letting
my imagination run away. I got into bed and amazingly went to sleep
fairly quickly. I was sound asleep when a noise woke me up. I went to
get up to see what the noise was and I couldn’t move. It was like I
was paralyzed. I turned my head towards the door to look out into the
hall and there in the door was a bright and shining figure. I thought
my mind was playing tricks again and I tried to move, but couldn’t. I
don’t know if it was audible sound or in my head but the person told
me I couldn’t move and I couldn’t go out into the living room because
of evil. I don’t know if it was evil spirit or person in the house. I
tried to move again, but was still paralyzed. The person said, “You
will be OK, I’m taking care of it, go back to sleep.”
Amazingly I feel back into a deep sleep and woke up refreshed. I got
up and went into my living room and a window was open. It was the
strangest thing to see a window open because I knew how adamant I was
about locking all windows. Then I remembered what had happened the
night before. I thought about it and asked God, what had happened, in
my head. I had an overwhelming feeling come over me about the awesome
glory of God. I really feel it was Jesus that visited my bedroom that
night. People I’ve shared this story with feel it was my guardian
angel. I know I have guardian angels, but I really feel it was Jesus.
It is hard to tell the story because it lacks the glory and wonder of
God when I share it, but it is true and I feel so honored that I had
the Blessed Son of God visit me in the night to care for me.
