My Faith is something that most people who know me realize that it has been a very important part of my Journey! But for it I would not be who I am.........
and to be honest I have had a huge problem trying to decide how to or even if I should tell you all about this.......but I promised to be honest and not hold back!
So it continues.............
For as long as I can remember The Lady in Blue was a constant figure in the far left corner of our bedroom. I only have a slight memory of when she first appeared, it had to be around the age of 8 or 9 years old but she was always just sitting there in the little chair next to the window.........
My First memory of The Lady in Blue is one that will always bring a smile to my face.....
It was on October 31, 1968 or 1969, Halloween day. At that time I didn't understand why this date, except that it was the day I felt that childlike JOY of getting so much candy....... sigh.....I felt rich!
Truthfully I still don't know why she chose that date...........
(You see at that time, we kids were allowed to go Halloweening by walking as far as our little legs allowed us to go, as long as we were with other children it was all good. I guess the world was different in so many ways then, being driven to and from houses just didn't happen.)
The evening of October 31, was not like every other night, after hours of walking and then going through our candy, I got ready to go to bed and knowing that The See Through People would soon be visiting! But this night would be different.......having fallen asleep right away, I remember being awaken with the need to go pee! With partially closed eyes, I got up out of my bed and went to the bathroom and after, as I climbed into bed I heard this humming, it was soft and beautiful, coming from the far corner of the room.
Thinking about it I can actually see her long brown hair falling down her sides, her large dark gentle eyes always looking at me with such love, her long soft baby blue dress, with a high slim neck , cinch at the waist by a dark blue cord softly falling in folds of the material right down to her dainty little feet crossed and tucked properly under the chair, surrounded in a soft glowing illuminating light, humming with a gentle smile on her lips..............
When our eyes met she stopped humming and I heard her words as if she was standing right next to me!
.......she said.......
I have been sent to you by someone who loves you very much, the maker of all that is good! I am here now child, and I will be here for as long as you need me....now sleep! I will never forget those words for they were said to me many many night to come, always bringing with them comfort and peace.
Next morning I ran to my grannies house and told her all about my visitor. Well granny just sat there looking at me, her lower lip trembling then she took me in her arms and said that her prayers had been answered, she then informed me that for the past year she had been asking for some help to protect me, knowing that my journey in life would be at times difficult. Also she new where there is good there has to be evil and danger and because The Lady was here I would now be safe!
In the years that followed she would be there to tell me not to be afraid to be strong and to believe.
That she was with me and all I had to do is ask for help and she would make it easier!
And she did..........many times to come.........
She has been there almost everyday of my early life first in the bedroom I shared with my sister and after the age of 12 standing next to the window with its sage green layered curtains in the room that I would call my own in my parents house then in my own home my husband and I built!
But in the last 6 years after having moved to our cottage, I have only seen her here several times........
The reason I feel is simple, here among the untouched vast beauty that Mother Nature has surrounded me with, the silent symphony that allows my mind to stop, and the life force that emanates from the lake sharing with me a peacefulness that stills my soul. "I have arrived and I am finally home"!
Her presence change the course of my life............
