Last night, I took a step to change my life. There are some weird coincidences going on and I don’t know what they mean, but I am certain God is trying to tell me something. First, I realized yesterday that I was thirteen years old when I fractured the bone of the ring finger in my right hand. Then, about three weeks ago, I fractured the bone of the same finger and although I am not thirteen, I am at the point where I have only had thirteen birthdays. It’s a weird coincidence to have that happen. However, at the same time it isn’t. I believe that I have hunches about my birthdays. I have hunches that things will or won’t happen involving them and if they don’t happen when I turn a certain age, I always believe that they will happen when my actual birthday comes around. This coincidence just seems to reinforce that strange belief.
The second strange coincidence is that I took an important step that is going to change my life and then I tripped and fell on the ground today. I stubbed my toe, I bruised my knees, and hurt my hands. I wonder if God is trying to prepare me for the road ahead. I path I’ve chosen to take isn’t going to be easy. I already know that. I think I am going to fall, and it is going to hurt when I do, but I need to remember that when I fall, I should sit down, take a deep breath, and get back up again. Even though it hurts, and it is tough, I should remember God’s with me and He is going to help me get through it every time I fall.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
