Ghosts

Let me tell you something first. I was raised Catholic and have even taught Sunday school. I believe in God and Braeden and I pray all the time. I believe in heaven and hope to someday be worthy of going to heaven. With that in mind I now tell you I do believe in ghosts. I have heard ghosts and seen ghosts. I believe the dead can still inhabit the earth when they wish, I don't believe Heaven is a place without windows or doors.
Experiences may go unnoticed by those who don't believe. But think about these things for me. Have you ever walked by what appears to be nothing but you feel a dramatic change in temperature and maybe even get a quick rush of chills enough to give you goosebumps or make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up? For me that usually means there is a presence near me or near my son. I have been lucky enough to never have had to deal with a negative presence, but I have been nearby one. It seemed confined to one side of the street and didn't cross. I've not been able to explain that one, but it's almost as if the spirit was angry and couldn't find the peace they need to move on.
There are a lot of skeptics in our world. But that doesn't bother me. We use 10% of our brain on a daily basis. If we were more open to learning how to use the other parts of our brain there is no telling how many sense would come alive.
All of the women in my family (including grandma, aunts, cousins, etc.) can see and hear spirits. Sometimes there are symbols or signs that a presence is with you. We are open to seeing those signs and it is a reassuring feeling. There are times when there are too many energy sources in one room and I will feel overwhelmed or claustrophobic even though to someone else the room around me looks empty. But if I say that I need space the spirits will usually move away and I'll feel the energy in the room calm down.
Many times I will hear music. Sometimes it sounds like a soft lullaby other times it sounds like a church choir. I often hear it when Braeden has just gone to sleep. It puts me at ease because I know he is being watched over and will sleep good. Sometimes when I am driving and it seems I'm going to go off the road (because some idiot driver side swipes me) there will be something that keeps my Jeep on the road. I will feel the wheel take over. These things don't scare me. I was raised this way and to me it's perfectly normal.
I'm not sure why I felt the need to explain all of this or share it rather. But, I did. And so there you have it. Happy Friday!

My grandma was visited by my grandpa several years after he died. She said he sat on her bed and smiled at her and then brushed his lip on hers. The only thing he said was that he missed her. She told me that for a while it bothered her that he didn't tell her that he loved her until she realized that she already knew that much. What she didn't know was that he missed her as much as she missed him.
So, yea, in that way, you bet I believe in ghosts!
