      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      I want to thank my granddaughter, Deidre Johnson-Dixon who pushed to get this publication done. She wanted to know if there was anything I wanted to do before I left this world. When I told her I always wanted to write a book, she responded with, Granny, if that’s what you want to do, we will make it happen. So thank you Deidre for your diligence. You said you would make it happen, and you did. You know I love you and I wouldn’t take a gold guinea for you!

      Preface

      This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24 KJV). The Lord has been great to me… he has never left me alone. I praise and magnify him constantly. The Lord has been so good to me, I thought I would like to capture and share just a portion of my life’s journey. After all, the Lord has blessed me to live to be 92 years old on my last birthday, March 4 th , 2012. That’s right, 92 years old; born in 1920, so if you do the math, I think you’ll find that I’m right about my age. I hope that perhaps something you will read here will help you along your journey. I feel I have lived and learned enough that someone can benefit from my struggles as well as the rewards that come from going through the struggles. That is, if you’re willing to listen!

      Chapter One

      A long time ago, out of a union between a holiness preacher; Elder Samuel H. Dobbs, and a holiness missionary, Hattie Classie Dorthula Madden-Dobbs, came eleven children, two boys and nine girls. On March 4, 1920, I was blessed to be born the seventh child of the eleven. I can say blessed now, only because of some of the things I have come to understand. But as a child, I didn’t understand why so many things seemed to happen to me. I couldn’t understand the feelings of isolation that I felt. I loved my sisters and brothers, my mother and father and I just wanted them to love me as well. I guess when you are called of God at birth; it doesn’t take long before you are set aside for divine purpose; it’s not long before the characteristic, peculiarity (I Peter 2:9 KJV), kicks in and you become a target.

      The Lord started dealing with me at the early age of five years old through dreams. I remember having a dream about a giant silver bird, a long way out in the sky, shining like brand new silver money. And in my dream I suddenly saw the tail and the wings fall off of this giant silver bird. In the dream I kept watching until I saw the rest of this big bird come apart and fall to the ground in flames. Later in life I found out the dream that I had as a little girl, in reality was about an airplane and not a bird. And now I’ve lived long enough to see these things happen. But at the age of five, in 1925, I had never seen an airplane before. I remember another dream I had; I was looking at a large house when the earth seemed as if it opened up and swallowed the entire house. Water immediately covered the house; at which point no one would have ever known a house had stood in that particular location. Because of the latter dream, whenever I would go outside to play, all the other children would be playing but the adversary would say to me,
