A miracle is stated to be a supernatural occurrence. I have experienced a few supernatural occurrences, so I am a believer. The evidence was overwhelming, and the feeling of peace that came over me in some very trying times, when I experienced these supernatural occurrences was undeniable.
I had an interesting chain of events happen to me about eight months ago. I had purchased these tiny healing stones, beautifully carved into angels. I put them on a shelf on the wall, by my bed. They were close enough o see whenever I was in bed. They were shiny and smooth, and I was happy I bought them. I believe in angels, always have, but never experienced a personal connection.
My angels on their shelf, started shifting. Every morning when Id wake up, they werent standing straight on their perch, but turned to a noticeable degree. I brought this to my partners attention, and he could plainly see what I saw, but thought perhaps the vibration of the washer in the hall had shaken the wall, and made them vibrate and move. I took that to be the reasonable explanation.
On one occasion, I went to lie down on my bed, and felt something underneath me. When I got up, I saw one of my angels had fallen off the shelf. I was totally bewildered. However, both my daughter and I had a habit of filling the washer to the brim in hopes of doing less loads, so I figured it was either the vibration theory, or I had knocked it off the shelf, perhaps when I pulled the blankets over me. I tried to reenact that scenario, but my blankets didnt reach the shelf. I set them back on track, and went to sleep.
They were pretty straight, and taped. Im obsessive compulsive about certain things, and my angels being straight on my shelf was one of them. although, I couldnt seem to mange it. When I woke up, they were visibly moved. I changed them around, straightened them, and woke up to another shifting of the angels.
I just couldnt figure it out. I put them back to their original places with the tape. On another occasion, I came in to lie down, only to find my shelf in total disarray, and I dont have cats.
Now, I was really starting to believe there may be a message I was missing. What in the heck was going on? That night, my partner and I were about to watch some TV together on the bed. He sat on the bed, and when he leaned towards the pillow, something stuck him in his back. He got up, looked, and handed me one of my angels. Okay, there has to be an explanation, whether Earthly or spiritual, I said to myself. These things just dont happen on their own.
I did nothing but wonder, and keep straightening them every morning. And they kept being turned every night. Within a few days, I noticed that I had lost a beautiful diamond earring right from my ear, and although I found the clasp, I never found the earring. It was upsetting because my partner had bought them for me, and I had never taken them out in seven years, just to clean them and put them right back in.
A few days later, I was in a hurry to go downstairs, and I left some bags on the top to take down with me. I bent over to grab them, pulled my head up, and the bottom of the huge steel fire extinguisher collided with my head, and put a huge gash in my scalp that hurt immensely. It should have had stitches, but I didnt bother.
A couple of nights later, I was getting up from my computer, as I do daily, maybe twenty times or so, but this time, my foot somehow hit the dining room table leg, and I broke my toe. It had never happened in nine years Ive been doing the same thing, but it happened this time! A couple of days later, I had my purse stolen. A few days later, I received a letter for intent for divorce.
A few days after that, I found my checking account and charge cards had been terminated. And yet a few days later, my son moved out unexpectedly. One month later, my daughter did the same thing. In the meantime, one thing after another has happened, each one very difficult and stressful, and yet the angels have not moved since. They are standing firm and strong. I have come to think of their moves as a warning for me of a dark, negative time coming into my life, and that they would stand strong to help me get through it.
I have faith that this could very well be an explanation. I have called on my angels to help me through the worse year in my life, and Im here typing, so I know they have been there to guide me and help pick me up. No more angels in the bed, no more angels fallen over, and no more angels turned every morning, it's been ten months. And they are all in exactly the same positions they were in before, and i still do laundry.
I guess faith is about really believing in what you have faith in, and being strong enough to accept that our angels can warn us, and let us know they will be right next to us to help, even though, there will be times we will make a wrong turn, and there will be times we will fall.
