Encountering God in a Slideshow

I was at the church all day on Saturday for Camp Farthest Out.  We were just hanging out and we went into a prayer meeting with a bunch of people.  I got in the center of the group and I asked for healing.  They began to pray with me and encourage me.  Everything they said I had already heard.  It wasn't anything new.  I went back to my seat disappointed.  I closed my eyes and I started picturing everything that I had gone through.  Moments when I was going to spiritual warfare and was screaming, when my old pastor gave me $20 after threatening my family and said sorry, when my parents told me that they were going to get a divorce because of ministry.  This slideshow just went through my mind over and over.  It finally stopped and I heard God say to me that He was there with me, through it all.  I didn't believe him.  He then replayed the slideshow except in every picture it wasn't just me.  God was holding me.  In all of them.  I grabbed me when I was screaming, he grabbed me when I was broken, he caught all my tears when I cried.  I remember everything so vividly, except that I don't remember the hurt I can only remember God's loving arms.  I literally can't remember anything else but that!!! Can this be possible?  Every memory that I have that makes me who I am is completely wiped away.  I do not remember!
