midnight thoughts

so, it's no longer mothers day, but i thought i would post a fast HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!! to all mothers out there. I lost my mother very suddenly about three years ago, hence this is not the easyest of all days for me. but, I talked to a buddy of mine a few hours back and he said something that reminded me and helped me get through. See, his mother passed about a year ago and he was having a hard time today as well, but he was struggling with something that never even crossed my mind today. "where is my mom now?" he asked. She never had a chance to get saved before she died, leaving her son to wonder this very ominous question. This was a question (like i said that i had not thought of) see my mother was saved before she died. That made me think back to the day i found out. I remember sitting in Bible class and my ex girlfriend showing up. All i could think was what in the world is she dong in my church. I was waiting for her to burst into flames or something i had never seen her in a church. But no, my phone was off yet they knew where to find me and they sent her to get me. I ran down to my phone and called my sister (in Hawaii) she told me right away our mother was gone. She had drown in a shallow swimming cove at a resort in Oahu Hawaii. Even though there was i rock wall to break the waves and current, a freak wave had crashed over the wall just as she was swimming on the other side and just like that..... she was gone .The very first thing i did was thank God he saved my mother. I just kept saying over and over in my head, Oh Thank you God! Thank you Jesus! for saving my mother. Having that knowledge and faith that my mother was happy and safe with our God and our Saviour got me through one of the hardest times of my life. It got me through today as well.
