Made Known to Us

 On December 16, 2025, I was given a dream. 

It was wintertime and my husband, and I was in a 

town. We were standing on this street and noticed

a little boy no more than two years old was standing

on the street all alone. A woman and her children passed

by. They were dressed all warn winter coats and the woman

was holding each of their hands. My husband and I noticed 

they walked pass the little boy and he didn't belong to them.

We walked over to the little boy who had a dirty white

sweatshirt on and a pair of pants. He had a cute round face

and light brown hair. I picked him up and held him in my 

arms. He gently laid his tiny head on my shoulder. I told

my husband we have to take him home with us! I will

wash and clean his shirt and pants! I further said,

"We will have to buy him some diapers!" I continued to

hold the little fellow who was a stout little guy!

Suddenly, a truck pulled up behind us and a man

said, "I know who this little boy belongs to"! 

The next thing I know my husband and I are in 

this house speaking to the little boy's family!

I gave the child to them and said, "Please speak

kind words to him and take care of him." A woman

who was present laughed at me and didn't appreciate

what I had said. My husband and I had to leave.

End of dream

"I will forever remember this beautiful little boy

who was made known to us by our lord!"

The Immaculate Conception of Blessed Virgin Mary

Winter Dark Skies

Winter Dark Skies

 On Sunday December 7, 2025, I had a neat dream at 7:00 am.

I was in this house such as a relative of mine and it was night-time.

I was with my son Isaac, a few small children around 6-7 years old and

their grandmother. We were looking out this large window and the 

dark skies were clear and beautiful! I mentioned to the children that I 

think Isaac knows something about the moon!

Isaac, the two children, their grandmother, and I were all viewing

the winter dark skies. 

Suddenly, we could all see Blessed Mary's image forming way up

in the sky! We could see her long veil begin to form and her long

gown and her face as well. Then we could see Jesus' form Infront of

Blessed Mary and he was around 6 or 7 years old. Blessed Mary was

wrapping her arms around Jesus. Then we could see an elderly 

woman form beside Blessed Mary and they were all illuminating

and extremely bright! The elderly woman was St. Anne, Blessed Mary's Mother,

and Jesus's grandmother! 

As we were viewing all of the images, I was explaining who the images were to

the ones around me! 

Then all three of the illuminated images had emotion with expression. 

They were speaking to one another with complete joy! It was

as though they were celebrating!

As I was explaining to the children St. Anne is a saint! I further explained

a saint is someone who is holy and goes to heaven🕇

Then the vision slowly faded away.

I went to tell my mom who was sitting in the living room

 next to my Great Aunt. 

They were only ten years apart and very close.

Dream Ended.


What is a Saint? a person acknowledged as holy or virtuous

and typically regarded as being in heaven after death. 

a very virtuous, kind, or patient person. 

(formally, recognize as a saint; canonize by the church)

A Special Moment

 My son Seth drove up to our home a few weeks ago. He was in

a wedding of a close friend of his. After the wedding he

 drove a few extra more hours

to visit with us and take Isaac my youngest son back to his home.

Seth lives about eleven hours away and they make an adventure of it

by staying in a hotel halfway point. It's a beautiful drive with all the

trees and mountains. 

Isaac was there for a few weeks, and Seth brought him back home

a day before Thanksgiving. 

As Thanksgiving was approaching, I remembered 

"Our Lady of Kibeho Feast Day" of Rwanda Africa

is right after the holiday. 

Being busy with Thanksgiving and traveling to see my loved ones

I forgot to recognize "Our Lady of Kibeho." 

It was November 28th, Friday evening the day after Thanksgiving, and Seth was

trying to gather some of his things. He will be heading home by noon

the next day and I wanted to say good-bye due to the fact I had

to be at work in the morning. 

When I hugged him good-bye and told him thankyou and that I loved him,

a cross appeared behind Seth in mid-air! At first, I mentioned how the 

cross was 4-5 inches tall, but it was more around 5 to 6 inches and very

bright! There was only one cross and it was a 

white color and appeared very quickly. I pondered upon it and thought it 

was very neat! I never told anyone that day nor the next day.

Sunday November 30th, I decided to tell my husband about seeing the cross

form behind Seth. I wanted to write it down in my journal. After I wrote the date

Friday November 28th, I remembered it was "Our Lady of Kibeho!" 

I then told my husband I know why I had seen the cross form behind Seth when I

hugged him good-bye! It was The Feast Day of "Our Lady of Kibeho!"

Seth was the one that built "Embrace the Cross" website and blog for me. 

Also, due to my request he drew "Jesus Dying on the Cross" of

"Embrace the Cross. 🕇

Bless him Oh' Lord!
