LuvingLife Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I saw my Nanna, (great-grandmother that has been deceased 4 years) and she and I were in a deep conversation about what I wanted to do with my life. She told me "Cheyenne, you need to stop worrying about what other people want you to do, and go for what God has called you to do. Life doesn't wait for you, you need to reach for your dreams and don't ever put them off unless the good Lord wants you too." We talked some more about things I don't remember, and then I woke up. Okay, and then I fell back to sleep and started dreaming about her again (this doesn't often happen), and she was talking to me about how to live a healthy lifestyle, (oddest thing I know!), she told me to "Enjoy your food, eat slowly, eat one plate of food with a large glass of water, for a treat have one cookie, or a small piece of cake, with a fruit or veggie. And in honor of me, always eat one piece of toast with Jam and tea, (she loved to do this in the afternoon, and I do it too!). And always keep moving, walk and bike everywhere you go, and never over eat. I love you and be a good girl until I see you again." That was it, I woke up and broke down crying so hard, it was exactly what I needed to hear, (strange how God used my Nanna, but I sure listened!). I miss my Nanna so much!:crying::crying: ADD:I just really needed to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my she was the only relative that loved us, and I am sad she is gone but even happier to know she may well be resting in the arms of God. Thank you for your kind words, it was so nice to see her again even if the moment was fleeting.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca VA Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Cheyenne, write all these things down. If you can remember the dream very vividly, write down what both of you were wearing, where you were sitting, and all of that. You don't want that wonderful dream to fade away.

Thank you Rebecca (that's my momma's name!) I will certainly do this, I love journaling and this is a great way to remember.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
