Bunny J NDE

Experience Description

Originally, I was run off the road and kidnapped. When I tried to jump out of the car, I was then beaten with a tire-iron. At that time, I was in and out. Maybe about thirty minutes later, after he did 'his thing', I was taken outside of my body, outside of the car, and wrapped with this most incredible feeling of power and peace. It was God!! God then asked if I wanted to stay here on earth or go with Him. Of course, I said I wanted to go with you God. He said, 'Okay, let me just show you something first.' He put me at my funeral, under the ground, on a grey drizzly day; I was in my casket with my hands folded on my stomach. All my friends and family were there and all I could see were their grey tears. God said, 'Is this how you want your friends and family to remember you?' I think I said no, but I still would rather go with you God.

Well, three days later I woke up, and freaked out that I was alive. I 'thought' I had said I wanted to go with God!!! Well, my minister was called and we had a long talk about it - and here I am. I 'tried' to think of why God would want me to stay, and yes I have two beautiful children, but sometimes I really do have a hard time figuring out what else I am here for.
