‘I’m gonna go see Jesus. He’s so cool’ – WhitneyWHITNEY Houston eerily told pals she felt her "time was coming” and spoke of "seeing Jesus” in the hours before her death, it emerged last night.The tragic star is said to have become increasingly spiritual — quoting Bible passages and saying she felt her end was near.Last Friday — the day before she was found slumped in the bath of her Los Angeles hotel suite — Whitney told one friend: "I’m gonna go see Jesus. I want to see Jesus.”And on Saturday, with her death hours away, she reportedly said: "You know, he’s so cool. I really want to see that Jesus.”But Whitney, who battled drink and drug addictions, had claimed in one of her last interviews that she was finally comfortable with her life.The 48-year-old soul legend said she had laid her demons to rest and was focusing on raising her daughter Bobbi Kristina, 18. Chatting on the set of her forthcoming comeback movie Sparkle, Whitney explained: "Now that I’m older, and I think more seasoned, after my experiences in life — you become more mature. It coincides with my life as a mother.”She said of her return to the spotlight: "I don’t think of it as like a comeback. I think of it as a gift God gave me. It was not that I said, ‘Oh, I want to entertain’. It’s in my family bloodline, I can’t help it. It’s innate, it’s natural.”Whitney portrayed herself as a strict mother, determined to ensure that Bobbi Kristina does not make the same mistakes she did in her wild days.She revealed: "I am a hands-on mother and I am a disciplinary mother. I don’t make idle threats; you know what I’m saying. I have priorities. Maintaining my daughter is my first.”"And she also has show business in her blood. She’s doing acting classes, and vocal coaching. So I keep her busy with that, and she’s pretty happy with that.”"She’s 18 now and she’s going to be a woman in a minute. Lord, have mercy!”
