God seems to be pointing me in a surprising direction.
Seems like every time I pray about a particular subject, God points me in the same direction.
Like, I prayed about the subject, and asked God if it was his will, he would arrange for something to happen in a certain way. Even before I was done praying, that thing happened in that very way. It wasn't something that usually happens to me, and I asked for God to set it in motion in a specific way. Road sign Number 1?
Then, I prayed that if this truly was God's will for me, that a certain song would come on the radio next. Even before I said Amen, that song started playing. The announcer had not announced the song play list ahead of time, and I had just started listening to that station a minute before, while another song was playing. Road sign Number 2?
Then tonight, I asked God's will on that subject again, and he told me to check my voice mail at work. I don't usually care about my voice mail on weekends, figuring that anything on there can't be addressed til monday anyway, so why check it. There was one message, and it was about that very topic. Unusual, because the subject I was praying about has nothing to do with work. Road sign Number 3?
It also seems like God is opening my eyes that he has been trying to lead me in this direction for a couple years, and I just didn't see it.
Now that my illness is in check and I'm not sick anymore, this path God seems to be pointing out seems to be a real opportunity. Before, it was something that seemed unlikely, if not impossible.
What do you guys think? Are these legitimate road signs from God, or is it wishful thinking on my part?
(The radio thing, once before I asked God to communicate with me that way, in all seriousness of heart, and He did and I ignored it, thinking that I was ascribing meaning to a random event, and then regretted it, because it was a real sign for something He HAD wanted me to do. Only once.)
