Forgive me, this will be badly worded. Hopefully you'll be able to feel the magnitude of what has happened to me over the last few hours; I felt compelled to come here and share it with you all.
I was watching a film with my brother in my bedroom when there was a flash of brightest blue. I had no idea what it was, and my brother saw it too, but didn't know either. Later on (about one and a half hours later), we finished the film and he went to bed. My stepdad suddenly started shouting for my brother to go stay in his bedroom, and for me to come downstairs.
He accused me of molesting my brother, and said I had been for years. I'm not going to go into detail, that's the last thing I want to do right now, but as you can imagine it was extremely traumatic. I was and still am quite terrified of him, but as I cried in my bedroom I saw the blue flash again. I looked up. Then I saw a fork of lightning from the same place. I waited about two minutes and there was another. Lightning striking four times, over the space of about two hours, in the same place? The flashes definitely all came from the same direction, and I saw the lightning strike twice myself (instead of just seeing a flash out of the corner of my eye). No thunder, no storm, no rain...
God was letting me know He is there. I don't just believe He was, I know He was. This was a sign. I've never seen such spectacular, tall, bright lightning (and I've been in a hurricane, two tropical storms, a massive electric storm, and many thunderstorms), nor anything so unexplainable. I can just feel that God was behind it.
This whole business with the accusations from my stepdad will inevitably be a very difficult thing for me to deal with. It's already changed everything. But this sign, and the love and hope I felt when praying to God, well, that changes everything too. Praise the Lord. He loves us all, and more of us need to realise that.
