Jubilance

Chapter 9

Wow, God just answered my prayers right before my eyes, thought Juliette as Alex walked in.

Alex gasped the moment he saw her, then began to weep. "Jules, I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry," he repeated.

Alex, I'm okay, Juliette wanted to say. Don't worry, God has me. God has this situation. I still care so much for you.

"I can't imagine how much you must hate me," said Alex.

Now way! mentally responded Jules. I could never hurt you!

"Even if you do make it, you probably want nothing to do with me anymore," sobbed Alex. "I'm just so sorry. I feel like I robbed you of life. I'm so sorry."

Alex, it's okay, I forgive you, Jules wanted to say.

"I hope you hear me, I really hope you do. I hope you still at least like me," said Alex in between sobs, "but I understand if you don't. I can't blame you. Please, do something, show me you at least hear me. Please, Juliette, I'm so sorry."

Jules began to get so frustrated. She wanted more than anything to reassure Alex that everything was okay. She wanted to reassure him that she still liked him and that she forgave him. But she couldn't. She just couldn't.

God, help me! She mentally cried out. I'm stuck! Help me do something! Help me to show Alex I still care about him and forgive him, please!

At that moment Meredith appeared once again.

"Be still, Juliette," she said. "God has sent me again."

Help me, requested Jules. I cant communicate with anyone. Jules wanted to cry. I'm so frustrated.

"I know, it's all okay. God has you, God always has you," comforted the angel.

Juliette felt God's peace wash over her like an ocean washing up on a sandy shore. She was still, she was calm. She was okay

What should I pray for? Jules asked the angel.

"God's will. Always pray for God's will," responded Meredith.

Okay, said Jules as she entered a brief time of prayer. "God, I pray that Your will be done, whether you want to take me home or leave me with my family, I just pray that You might show me. Help me with my frustration. I pray You might comfort Alex, Ashley, Molli, and my family. Let Alex know I forgive him and still care for him. Tell Ashley I greatly appreciate her stopping by and I greatly appreciate her testimony to me. Tell Molli she's always been an incredible friend and let her know I'm praying for her right now. Let her know I'm okay and if I don't make it, I want her to still move on and I'll be celebrating life in Heaven. Tell my parents I love them very much and appreciate all they've done for me and tell them I'm at comfort in Your peace. I pray You might also give them peace. I love You, Amen.

At peace in God's love and grace, Juliette rested.
