    Default Signs

    Recently, actually just the last 3 days i have been thinking alot about life, god and the future. My thoughts of God have been quite puzzling and not the best at the moment. Im not a religous person but am very spiritual.
    Anyway, today while working i was on the phone to DH talking about God and how i thought he dosent seem like the kind, gentle, caring being i always envisioned (sp?) him to be. Then there was a knock on the door and who was it but Jehovah Witnesses handing me a booklet on 'Does God Really Care'.
    I had been asking for a sign from God and i dont think that this was a coincidence. Although it was somewhat short of the miracle i was hoping for i am pleased to have some of my faith restored and an ear out there listening to little ole' me.
    I have been working there for almost 2 years and i have never had a door knocker once and today of all days while im having a conversation that i never have about god caring.

    Would you see this as a sign and have you had similar experiences??

    I might be a bit biased EM as I'm a Jehovahs Witness myself, but I belive that it could have been what you prayed for.

    I remember my mum saying the same thing....she was praying for help from God and the witnesses called not long after.

    I do belive that God hears your prayers and sends an answer when appropriate.

    If you want to talk feel free to PM me....and I really suggest you read the booklet they left....its a wonderful comfort.

    That's just a normal part of life imo. Often when something has been a dominating factor or thought in one's mind, it is often brought to the surface for review. For example, when one becomes pregnant, all one see's is pregnant women because that has become a primary focus in one's mind. Of if you have been thinking about someone in particular, that person then phones you out of the blue. When the mind asks questions, the answers usually follow. But in saying that I don't believe that it was a sign for you to convert to the JW's, just a subtle reminder that 'yes', your God does care and that the universe is always watching and listening.

    Yes true! When I was looking for a 2nd hand car I kept seeing them for sale on my daily drive to work but if I wasn't looking for a car I wouldn't have noticed. The I found out I was pregnant I kept seeing women with children.

    I see what your saying. Yes your mind plays a big role in what you actually see but i never have doorknockers, not in the last few years anyway and i think thats a bit different because they are the one whos comming after you not the other way round I dont think im making much sense but i know what i mean; i just cant word it. I wont become a JW as i personally cant relate to that religion but am interested in trialing a christian church but am too scared/shy!
