Right now, my church is going through a series called Interactions. Two Sunday's ago, the first part of the series dealt with friendships, and this past Sunday dealt with Marriage. One of the questions I believe that was asked on the bulletin, that was a discussion point, was what was your most intimate moment with God, or something along that nature.
I have had several moments over the course of my life. Probably the first being a dream that came to pass. I won't talk about said dream, and there's been other dreams, something that has played a large part in my life over the past 10 years. Besides those, there are two moments that stand out. The first moment was two weeks before my mom passed away. I remember praying repeatedly, to the lord to either heal my mother, or don't let her suffer long. Little did I know that two weeks later she'd be gone, but it was the first time I really felt that a prayer of mine was answered. Sure it was not the answer I may have wanted, but knowing that she was at peace and not suffering anymore, that takes a lot off my mind. Granted I say that now, but for a time I did let it bother me.
The other moment came the night before my mom passed. I was meditating, like I had done for years at night. That night, as I was sitting down, I felt some sort of presence go through me, and I honestly believe to this day it was connected with my mom, and God. It's really hard to explain what it felt like, but it's also something I think back and reflect on at times. Usually those times are around the time May 5th roles around.
