Will You Still Remember Me?: A Story of Redemption

By Josephine White

IT WAS JUST AFTER THE NEW YEAR and we were playing with the Ouija board my sister bought for Christmas. I heard him ask the board, "When will I die?" Stunned, I personally witnessed the triangle streak across the word "Good-bye" hitting the wall hard on the opposite side of the room. My son would be dead three months later. - This true story is a look into a young mother's search for why she continued to live and breathe. Expecting the sun never to rise again after the sudden death of her sixteen-year-old only son, she hated God for letting him die. Suicidal but staying alive for the sake of her daughter, she attempts to deaden her pain and remorse with alcohol. - Her intense desire to understand life-after-death (is there one?) took her into the shifting foundation of metaphysics spiraling her downward into an uncertain world of acting and New Age/Eastern mysticism. - Is it possible to find peace of mind that stays with you and doesn't go away after you sober up? Is Buddhism the way to understanding and spiritual enlightenment? Will You Still Remember Me? A Story of Redemption will give you hope when you think there is none. This true story of Josephine's conversion experience will keep you heading in the right direction, the only direction that leads to Truth and Eternal Life.

Introduction

A. W. Tozer, one of the spiritual giants of the twentieth century, believed you should not write a book unless you have to—I did. This book is autobiographic and condensed to focus on my increasing interest in the paranormal over the years, the death of my son, and my ultimate rejection of God, all of which was the catalyst for my Damascus Road conversion to Jesus Christ. My book is intended to show you that even under the most devastating circumstances, the Lord Jesus will see you through. I have learned that life on this earth is never easy. It is our boot camp preparing us for the eternal life to come. I pray you will face the tests God may give you with faith and courage, always remembering He has a purpose, and though weeping may endure for a night, Joy comes in the morning (Ps. 30:5).

You Have Enemies?

You have enemies? Good.

That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.

—Winston Churchill

The world was at war when I was born in the spring of 1943, the last of three girls in our family. America’s courageous military battled our nation’s enemies all over Western Europe, and the Pacific. Sailors on the decks of battleships and in the belly of submarines deep below the surface of the sea risked life and limb confronting German U-boats and Japanese Kamikaze air attacks. For the US, the war began when Imperial Japan, seeking naval supremacy and to assume the advantage over us, performed a surprise attack on the United States military base at Pearl Harbor one sleepy Sunday morning on December 7, 1941. Our battleships were moored in the quiet waters of the harbor and our planes tied in close formation for safety on the tarmac. The US suddenly found herself fighting for her life in a two-front war—Western Europe and the Pacific. That same March of 1943, Nazi troops began the final liquidation of the notorious Jewish ghetto in Krakow, Poland. Men, women, and children who were not shot down in the streets were loaded up in cattle cars and transported by train to concentration camps where they were selected for either extermination or to be used in forced labor camps.

Do something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn’t, do something else.

—Franklin D. Roosevelt

My dad, the oldest of ten children and searching for a better life, left the family farm at the age of eighteen and moved to the city, about fifty miles away. He married my mom in 1932, and three years later, produced
