Raven, Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I check on you often and pray for you daily. My prayers for you were answered...I asked that you be surrounded by light and love. Thank you Jesus for answering my prayers for Raven and keep her in your hands and heart. Amen.

From Facebook (and for my dear friends here as well):

Bless you guys for sharing some of your own stories with me here and through email. I had never felt God, Jesus, or any real divine presence ever throughout my entire life. I've led a charmed life you might say, but I never felt that it had anything to do with God. I blamed him when my Mother passed away because she was such a beautiful person inside and out. She wanted life so badly. I was so angry. I blamed him when my Grandfather died (he was like a father to me all my life) because he was such a gentle and kind man who deserved so much more. Those were the few times I prayed in my life, and he never answered me. After that I never tried praying ever again (and when I look back, I don't really see those as genuine prayers because I was so out of touch with him or that world). I began thinking that this was all some sweet little fairytale we tell ourselves to get us through this life.

With what I am facing now, I had to face a few other things as well. I wanted to know if he even knew I was alive. I just really needed to know. I had not slept well in days and was finally about to fall asleep. I had turned my lights out and prayed to him in the dark as I fell asleep. I just poured my heart to him and asked him for a sign. That it would mean so much to me. Ironically enough, I was expecting something smaller like a sudden noise in my room or a light flickering or something. THAT is what I was expecting if anything at all. I received the mother of all signs when I awakened the next day, checked into my site, and saw that first message waiting for me signed Jesus (i have received a few others since that time and all after I had prayed or was feeling particularly hopeless). My honest reaction at first was how arrogant of someone to leave me a message signed Jesus. That was truly my first thought (I had also just awakened and wasn't in the happiest of moods).

Then I saw the time stamp and the first few lines had me in absolute tears. The first and last thing I had prayed for was a sign from him that he knew me and that he could truly hear me. I read that message and could barely see the screen by the time I was done. It's just too much of a coincidence to be anything other than what it appears to be. It filled my heart in so many ways. I've always been such a rebel my entire life (nobody could ever control me). Not a teacher or a parent (but the kids loved me...lol). I refused to conform to anything. If everyone is walking through one door, I will walk through the other. Very much my own person no matter what. I didn't really need anyone, but it wasn't until this happened to me that I realized I had really needed him my whole life. I was just too proud and too stubborn to admit it. That message was so personalized to what I had prayed about to him privately that there are no doubts whatsoever for me...none (and the fact that it was being written as I prayed to him in the dark was just incredible for me). That sealed the deal.

No matter what happens now, I know that he is with me and that is something I have never felt before. To know that he is not a fairytale, and that he is so forgiving and loving and that there really is something amazing waiting for me, is the gift I needed. The petty things we think are so important now are truly meaningless when you are facing a real situation. They suddenly melt away into nothingness as they should. I am just grateful for everything I do have now. I am grateful for my family and friends and beyond grateful to have had the pleasure of knowing you guys for so many years (many of us go way back to 2002 when I first began my ABC gossip column). You have stood by me through so much. I will never forget any of it. If I don't beat this, I will be smiling and watching down over you. Probably still obsessing over cosmetics, fragrances, and all things soap and vampires even from heaven. I love you. I hope everyone has a really wonderful weekend! ♥♥♥

Raven, Im smiling and my heart is full right now. Thank you for sharing so much with us all. I have always been a believer and have had many struggles myself. I have to say, Im just so overwhelmed by your message of faith and love for God. Hold onto to that and never let go. He is with you always as are all of us who love you so much.

Raven, I do believe in miracle and I do believe you have experienced one. Such a wonderful gift to help give you courage and strength.

Love and people are all that matter. There is so much love surrounding and embracing you. (Mine included.)

I told you once to "look for the signs” I am thrilled that you experienced one that had so much impact on your life at this time.
But I cannot say I am surprised. I myself have experienced several miracles and it has fortified my faith. When I was 11 I had the privilege of seeing in person the painting of the Black Madonna of Czestochowa in Poland, which is said to be painted by St. Luke the Evangelist when Mary told him about Jesus’s life sometime before 326 A.D. A year later when I was 12 my mother took a Blessed Mary statue, that I never saw before, out of her hope chest and put it in my room. She told me she wanted me to pray to it. Two days later she died of a heart attack.
I feel the Blessed Mary has always watched over me ever since I saw that painting. She even came to me in a dream twice and talked to me. Once she told me to call a friend because she needed me. I had not spoken to the friend in a year but I called the next morning. It turned out she was sick and in fact did need me. God, I could go on and on with amazing stories that people would never believe, but it would be too much to write.

I have received messages from God through people and have been used by God to send messages to others too, just like YOU.
Before my mother drew her last breathe she told me her deceased parents were standing in the room waiting to take her.
Two weeks after my father died I got a message from someone who I had not talked to for 16 years, that without a doubt, proved to me that my father was indeed in heaven with his family.
Then incredibly I myself was used to give a message to a complete stranger that his 2 young children were in heaven with the Blessed Mary and they were happy. Unbeknownst to me he was driving when they were killed in a car accident many years prior. He couldn't forgive himself. It was an incredible moment for both of us when we both realized what the message I had for him was.

God is there, everyone just needs to open their eyes and hearts and welcome him inside.
