My Mimi laid struggling to breath over a thousand miles away. 
I woke up not realizing the people dancing on tv was the local news channel. What a difference just in their news alone-.
I had been raised on televangelist back home. My naive southern ways would soon be filled with wisdom but man's knowledge would come first. The Lord will always finish with His wisdom.
I had been filled with knowledge of Christianity all my given life. ___Christianity___ such a vague classification of many denominations. Word of Faith speak it into existence. Pentecostal your tongue will show your salvation. Baptist tongues are forbidden. One instrument used to bring to the alter, another sees inappropriate. 
We traveled so much as a child to different church plays, choirs, solos, many Church steeples I have gazed upon. Starring at Christ rather it be on a crucifix,a picture framed in gold or a necklace hung from their necks(another one of those church debates). Wearing a crucifixion. 
I remember a pastor telling me i was  crucifying Christ all over again by my earring. 
So as i was filled with so much knowledge of Christ and Christianity I was ready. Ready for the world but first I would search for knowledge in my journey to always do what was right. I began to question what was wrong in what was right. What foundation did i have except what i was taught-----
It was time i saw and learned first hand. 
And even in that it was all void until the Lord's wisdom comes in! I was being tossed wave to wave. Trying to discern between the denominations and how ones opinion of salvation was another's opinion of eternal damnation. 
My Mimi sat me down before i moved to California and said,"honey when i goto Heaven i will not watch over you i will not visit you. I will see you again in heaven but not here on earth, the only ghost/spirit that can watch over you and or visit you is the Holy Ghost if you think you see me know it is not your Mimi it is a familiar spirit that knows all and sees all and can tell you things only me and you know but it will not be me my sweet angel. I will be in heaven rejoicing!!" I thought that's not the comforting speech I've always heard given in ones death but that was my Grandmother. It was in her death that i received my true salvation. Once her knowledge was removed Wisdom came!
