Experience Description

My husband, at that time, and I went to the store. Our car battery died and it left us at the side of the parking lot. An older man was backing up in the parking lot didn't see us. I was standing outside the car and didn't see him coming my way. He backed up, smashing me between both cars. I felt the hard hit, yet felt no pain. I heard a voice saying, 'Look up.' When I looked up, it was bright. I looked back down, and then back up again. I could see my soul leaving my body and going into the air. Right then I began to pray to God to let me live because I wasn't ready to go. I just had a baby in May and had three other small children. They needed me and I needed them. As I prayed to God I watched my soul come back in my body and it was back in there before the ambulance got there, and next thing I knew I was in the hospital.

Now that was in 1993 July 26, this past July on July 26, 2008 I was in the hospital had surgery to remove a tumor and that was on July 24 but on July 26 a few days later I went into a bad seizure and died. They brought me back alive. However, I didn't have the experience like I did in the first one. Nonetheless, now in my life, I have gifts that came after the first one in 1993 - I can now do readings on people by looking in their eyes and I have the sixth sense since all this has happen to me.
