Hi Nicole and greetings Doves,
I especially enjoyed your thoughts and experience in this post.

I want to address a few of your comments on your out of body experience that occurred in August 2010.

   I do not know if you have considered Genesis 2:7 and OR have ever been present at someone's passing.

Genesis 2:7 says " The LORD GOD formed man out of the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being (soul).

I have been present at the passing of an old man (friend).  He was wearing an oxygen mask while his spirit was trying to leave his body. His spirit and soul's departure were being blocked by the oxygen mask.  The nano instant the oxygen mask was lifted, his sport & soul departed from his nostrils!!!

When my dog departed of old age at my vet's, her last breath was released from her nostrils too.

I did not make the connection until now!!

The water pouring out of your side reminds me of the scriptures referring to Jesus being the Water of Life.  Perhaps upon our departure the invisible Word of God will be poured out to the left behind folks and will be for a refreshing drink to those who are thirsty for the Living Word.

The buzzing of the ear.  Not sure what that signifies but I have non stop buzzing in my ears which began a little over a year ago.  Many people have buzzing ears (due to loud noise, aging and/or sensitivities).

I am curious to understand that meaning.

Several years ago as I was studying the book of Revelation, I saw the word AV.  At first, I thought it was related to April but upon further research I realized it had to do with August.

It did not make sense to me then as much talk pointed to the rapture in the spring or fall.

Not only do I have a better understanding of the month of AV these days but am looking for the rapture on any given day now.  AV looks very good to me (as does this coming week).

I pray it IS this year!!  All the possible days, months, years given by so many people like Mathman and Ron Reese are so compelling.

I confess however the dates or time frame no longer excite me.  I am packed up, praying up and looking up as I go about our Father's Business sharing the gospel and discipling young believers in Christ, living in obedience, sanctified by the Blood of the Precious Lamb of God.

This is a very good year for our departure.  It would be awesome if it is this coming week.  If not, I will continue to keep looking up.  I will not be disappointed if the Rapture is not this coming week. But I will "party-hardy" with the saints and our Bridegroom should He come for us this week.

Come Lord Jesus!!

Blessings,
Carol Garza
