Seeing
Betty in Sacramento

Hello
Everyone! It has been a while
since I've posted here on Betty's
site, but I felt compelled to
share the experience of meeting
Betty Eadie at the W.A.V.E.S conference
this past July 29, 2005 in Sacramento,
Ca.
I
have been a believer in Christ
all my life and have attended
various churches and organized
events in search of God's truth,
yet I have always felt something
was missing. The ministering of
truth through the use of fear
had never set right in my heart.
The fundamentalist mindset of
these establishments had always
gone against what I deeply felt
inside, affecting my own faith
and leading me to write from within
the knowledge of my own soul.
After
reading Embraced and The Awakening
Heart, I could not help but notice
the synchronicities between Betty's
visions and experiences and the
many concepts, philosophies, and
poems I have written from my heart
over the years, especially regarding
our Native American People. I
was deeply touched and moved by
her words.
My
wife Cathi, who has also read
Embraced and The Awakening Heart
(in tears!!), discovered that
Betty would be speaking in person
at The Radisson Hotel Ball Room
in Sacramento about her experiences.
We both agreed it would be worth
the four hundred mile drive from
our home in Long Beach, California
to witness first hand her testimony
of faith.
By nature I am always a bit skeptical
at these types of events and felt
it necessary to feel or “vibe”
out her story. As the night progressed
Cathi and I both sensed her honest
conviction. She truly gave all
of herself in that place for everyone
in attendance. As the questions
came from the audience, some grief-stricken,
her responses were intuitive,
instructive, heart felt, and comforting.
Her countenance was graceful and
honest and as I sat listening
I thought to myself, "This is
a true woman of God".
As the night closed it was announced
that Betty would be signing books
for anyone interested. I was just
about ready to go, but Cathi,
just having purchased The Ripple
Effect and The Awakening Heart
(as a gift), wanted to have them
signed and give Betty a hug, so
I thought, "Yes, it would be nice
to thank Betty in person," and
I agreed to wait a bit longer.
As we approached Betty I could
not help but notice a deepness
of spirit in her eyes. As I thanked
Betty for her sincerity our eyes
met and the familiarity was uncanny!
It was if I were starring into
the eyes of a soul sister I had
known for a long time. As we shook
hands I could truly feel this
woman's love and devotion to what
she is doing; it was amazing!
In that moment I could see why
God had chosen her to share His
message.
From my experience on this Earth
it is very rare to come into contact
with someone so true to their
passion, especially one of such
a giving nature.
I can honestly say now that my
faith in God is stronger than
ever.
Betty, we would again like to
thank you. I appreciate your sincerity,
as does my wife.
Love, Rick
