I've had an interesting night and morning...

Last night, my mother's friend and her husband came over to my house. They are such nice loving people. I used to date their son looooooonnnnng ago, but they still love me like a daughter. Anyway, they needed my mom to help them with some paperwork and of course, like all of us Hispanics, we get to talking.

They have known about my situation with my mother's ex and being the wonderful folks they are, said a prayer over us before they left for the night. They prayed for healing and for God to give us the wisdom and strength to overcome the challenges in our lives.

This morning, as I was just coming out from sleep. I thought my mom's ex came into my room because it smelled like he was there. But he wasn't. Time and time again, that yucky dirty mouth smell kept on bothering me and making me mad. So I thought, maybe he's wishing bad things to me and its manifesting like this. So I start rebuking it in Jesus' name. And I fall asleep. In my dream, I heard one of my father's songs and I wake up immediately. I feel a presence and I'm moved to tears; it was my father. Keep in mind he went to heaven 8 years ago. God sent him to me to tell me something important.

Dad wanted me to know that my mom's ex doesn't know what he's doing. He's sick, hurting, and lashing out. Being angry at him or avoiding him won't change that. My father wanted me to let go of the anger I've been holding in. I asked him, "How did you do it?". He replied, "I just gave it up." He went on to tell me that our words can affect others in more ways than you think. It can affect their lives. If you trash a person, their lives will be filled with trash. Talk the truth about them, God will bless them and take care of them. By being angry and frustrated with my mom's ex, I've been hurting his life. Or the life of any other person I've ever trashed. My dad wants me to treat my mother's ex how I treated him; with kindness and respect, even when he makes me mad. Just tell the truth without snide remarks or jokes.

My father also told me to tell my mother and brother what he told me. He also told me to tell my mother he was sorry for being mean to her in life. And for other things. He said he was sorry to me, too. I told him I forgave him through tears. I can't believe this sort of thing happened to me wide awake! I'm usually asleep with these things. I finally have closure with my dad and thanks to God sending him, wise advice.

I thank God for my mother's friends for praying over us. If it wasn't for them (and you all) praying for us, I wouldn't have received this piece of wisdom. So I have a new outlook. I may not like what my mother's ex is doing or how he insults me, but I know that if I keep doing what Jesus would do, I will reach my goal of getting a job and moving out soon. All the while removing animosity and bitterness from my soul.

God is great! Thank you Lord for sending me my father like an angel.
Thanks Dad for letting me know you made it home. See you when its my time.
