I Will Wait For You / My Letter to You My God / Give Us Your Spirit

Another day is passing me by
I wake up and my bare feet lands
on the cold wooden floor.

I have a quick given vision of Jesus
feet being nailed to the cross !

I ask myself "Where did that come from?"

I try to get my day started as usual.
I turn on my television , fix me some
toast , and drink my coffee.

I have the day off from my job, but
I can't seem to get motivated !

Suddenly ! I had another quick vision !
I can see a dirt hole with a large
wooden beam down inside of it. But
I noticed red drippings of blood
on the sides of the beam.

I am so dumbfounded ! Where is all
this coming from ?

Suddenly , I could hear an inner voice
speaking to me "I will wait for you."+++

I ask myself "Am I seeing Jesus Cross?"
"Did I just see his blood stains on a
large beam?"

I told myself that I need to take
 a shower to wake me up !

During my shower that same inner
voice came back to me !
"I will wait for you."+++

Looking down at my feet with
the water running against it. I
quickly remember my vision
of Jesus nailed bloody feet
on the cross !

I begin to sob !
Oh' my Jesus !  Why are you showing
me your pain and suffering ? I could
hear an inner voice again !

"By My Stripes you are healed."
"I will wait for you."+++

I get myself ready and decide I need
to take a walk.

Before I leave , I seek out a small
crucifix that I had kept as a child.

 Thankfully ! I found it tucked away
 in my wooden box that  I had kept
 underneath my bed !

I place my small crucifix inside my
coat pocket and head out the door !

The skies were gray and the streets
seemed quite.  I decided to sit down
on a near by green bench that
was near a water fountain.

The sound of the water fountain
seemed to remind me of Jesus !
"I Am The Fountain of Living Water."+++

I gracefully looked up towards the sky and
pulled out my small crucifix that was
deep in my pocket. I hold
it tightly in my hand and close
my eye's !

Suddenly ! I could hear beautiful
Chimes of "Church Bells"ringing in
the distance !

Tears flow from my face !
Oh' Lord ! So much pain !

My vision from the blood stained
beam was so fresh in my mind.

My tear drops fall onto my
small crucifix.

I hear that inner voice again !
"I will wait for you."+++

I speak out loud to Jesus !
Oh ' My God !  
Please wait !
Wait for me !
I love you Jesus !
Thank you for dying for me !
I wept holding my crucifix.

"By my stripes you are healed."

I ask God a question
Can you help me move forward ?
Can you give me direction ?

Suddenly ! I hear "Church Bells"
ring again !

I decide to walk towards the
church and I look up towards
the top of the steeple.
I gently take my crucifix and
place my given kiss on to Jesus !

I answer back to God !

"I'll wait for you !" +++

note: My two short prayers taken from
my journal's are below .
May Jesus Bless You In All of Your Days
