Excerpts from I Heard God Yell, “Save The Children! Catch Victoria!”:

SWIMMING IN THE POOL

My name is Victoria, I am ten years old and I want to tell you what happened to me when I was just a little kid.  

I was only 4 ½ years old and me and my Mommy came down to stay with Majo and Grandpa for a couple of days. 

We decided to go out and swim in the pool. I love to swim. It is my favorite thing to do. 

We played and swam for a little while and then I started sliding down the sliding board into the pool. I was having a lot of fun.

My Majo decided to join me and slide down into the pool.

She climbed up the ladder to the sliding board that goes down into the Pool. I asked her, “Majo ... could I come up there and slide down with you?” And she said ... “Sure!” 

So, I climbed up very fast and stood right behind her waiting for her to sit down on the top of the slide. I wanted to get in front of her so we could slide down together. 

Suddenly Majo’s feet slipped and BAM ... she sat down hard on the top of the slide.  Her back hit me and knocked me off the top of the slide. Majo screamed, “Oh God... I’ve broken my baby!!” 

I was flying backwards with my eyes wide open and I saw up into the tree and a lot of angels were up there, maybe 7 or 6. Then I heard God yell, “Save the children!!! Catch Victoria!!!” and 6 Big... Big... Big Angels caught me just before I hit the deck.  

I knew I was going to break my head if I hit the concrete deck, but they caught me just in time. They were holding me, cradled in their really big hands that were glowing and warm.  

My hands and arms were glowing just like the angels. My whole body was shining and glowing like a light bulb. 

Then I looked at the angels. I can still remember that sight. They looked so shiny and beautiful. Their big wings were shine bright white … glowy, and glistening. Some looked a little orangey with fire. They all had different colored hair …
