I fully expect to see
some joking comments, lose some friends on Facebook where I spend the majority
of my time online, and maybe gain a few more who are in those friends’ “woo
woo” category…I just have to finally share this. Especially today! I’ve shared my
experience over the last year with just a very few close and highly trusted friends
and family members. One of my children still explains it as “the brain” being
an amazing thing, even after I told her this morning what had happened. OK, but
what part of the brain, or rather, where did the thought to act come from?
I have some online and
in person friends who are very “spiritual”, but don’t necessarily agree with me
about everything. Those who know me, know that I unashamedly
profess my faith in Jesus Christ as the virgin-born, crucified, buried, risen
Son of God, the Savior Who has allowed me to look forward to Heaven.
Since committing my life to Christ, I have always been very
careful to follow God’s rules in the Old Testament about not consulting
mediums, witches, the stars or any other occult or pagan practices, but some of
my online friends are not so careful. I do believe in the angelic realm,
including fallen angels, and am fascinated by science and the direction it’s
been going in areas of “the God factor”,
brain science, heart science, healing and bringing spirituality and science
together. It is so exciting to me to see more and more science explaining what
we read in scripture. I know that numbers have significance in scripture, but I
don’t know if this falls under “numerology” as such. It does concern sequences
of numbers, especially 1’s…11:11.
Since I was introduced to the idea that there is a “shift” coming, some are looking for the
rapture of the church, doomsday or for aliens or angels to come to our aid with
amazing new information, I became one of those who began to randomly see these
sequences of numbers when I happened to look at a clock. It started at the end
of 2010, and became so frequent that I started recording it on my calendar in
January of this year.
The Fall of 2010 was a stressful time for me and my
co-workers, as the company I worked for was sold and began to downsize. I made
it through this time partly because of seeing these numbers, and began to take
them as signs that God had dispatched angels to minister to me. As the ax fell
on co-worker after co-worker, I was comforted and had no fear of the future.
Each time I saw a sequence, I was delighted and calmed. I continued my usual routine every
day of spending time with the Lord, reading scripture and praying. The first
day I recorded was January 2 – 11:11. Then 11:11 and 3:33 on the 3rd
and 4th. Sure enough, I was laid off on the 6th. During
January and up until today, it has been at least once every week, usually more
than once.
Last night, I woke up
and glanced at the clock – 12:12...on 12/12/2012! And then, driving home from
the grocery store, again! 12:12! I think you can understand how this has left
an impression on me. I plan to continue my daily routine of going to the Lord
whether I get hit by a truck, the world ends in 9 days or ET’s come to my door!
What about you? There
is so much uncertainty and are so many reasons to be anxious. Can you face the next
hour, day, week and eternity with no fear? I never needed or looked for any signs, but I honestly believe that they are a gift to me, maybe because I already believed. My faith in a good and mighty Savior was enough. This has been quite a bonus!
