I'm certain I saw an angel once. I was going through a difficult time and was praying and crying. All at once I felt a power LITERALLY close my eyes, it was terrifying. I knew it was God showing me something. I felt so insignificant, so small compared to this world and all the other worlds. What I grasped was this is a very very short time (this life) and I felt we were like children playing in the sandbox at recess. This is a time for us to enjoy life.

Well to sum up. I was in a room, not just shown, I was there. It was full of women and children. This was really strange to me since I'm a self proclaimed feminist. I was afraid to look around because I thought they would know I was a stranger. The fear was very real. However, the women/children didn't notice me. I noticed their clothes were very colorful without seams and they were happy. It was a place of transition.

Then a man appeared in the room. He was tall with grey hair and striking blue eyes. He was walking towards me and as he approached he read my mind and answered "yes, I'm an angel. Do you want to touch me?" I was very afraid and somehow communicated no.

When I was crying and praying earlier I was asking for an answer of a difficult question. He asked me "What was your question?" The feeling was instantly of an insignificance of my problems. I had an impression that he was an extremely busy being. He was at many, many different places and times. I felt so honored and insignificant. When he leaned toward me because he was very tall, his bright blue eyes shielded and sort of glazed. I knew those eyes were more powerful than I could take. I asked my question. ( Sorry, but it's personal. ) He gave me an answer and gave me the most outstanding advice I could've ever imagined. I wish I could have been strong enough to take it. This problem remains my Nemesis. I'm weak spiritually.

After he answered my question, I had so many others but was afraid to ask because I felt too small in a sense because he was so powerful. I knew he was leaving. He asked me if there was anything else. I said "yes, can I touch you?" I grabbed his arm it was so warm and real. I instantly opened my eyes, I was back at home, with my arm outstretched. I knew I was given the biggest gift ever. I was on cloud 9 for months but being the weak person, I shrunk back into superficiality.

The clincher to this is that the angel was in blue jeans, cowboys boots and big belt buckle. I wasn't on acid or under the influence of anything. I wasn't asleep. Anytime I've have told someone I've encountered skeptics. this was 14 years ago but very real. I know it happened. I would love for it to happen again but I would probably realize once again. This is just a short time in the sandbox.
