Signs

Do you believe in them, see them around you? Do you believe in coincidences? I don't. I think that everything happens for a reason. But that is a whole different post. Today I
m blabbing about signs. I totally think there are signs from God all around us. There was this one time I was on an elevator with a kid, and as soon as we got out of the elevator, he puked. But there was a trashcan literally right in front of the elevator so all of this vomit was neatly contained. I have never seen a tashcan in that sport before, and there has never been one there since. I refuse to believe that that was just a coincidence.

Same thing goes for this one time, I was dating this guy. And he gave my mom a little rosebush as an apology for staying at my house two hours longer than he was supposed to. The day after we broke up, this rosebush died. Maybe it wasn't a kosher sign, exactly, but it was creepy. This little bush hangs on through the same conditions for a year and a half, and then, just poops out. The day after we break u p. I felt like it was kind of a metaphor for our relationship, because it hadn't been getting sickly or anything, it had just died. And our relationship had been fine until he told me that we were breaking up once he got to college. I wasn't okay with that, because I see relationship as something you do to try and find out if this is the person you are spending your life with, not just for fun and games. A relationship with an expiration date? We broke up very shortly after that.

The biggest sign I have seen lately happened a few months ago. I was dating someone, who happened to drive aford focus, just like me. Everyone thought it was so adorable that we drove the same car. And some people took it as a sign that we were supposed to be together. And then, a couple months later, he totalled this car. Except it was a confusing situation, because it was totalled, and then they said it would be fine, and then a few days later it was back to being totalled and it stayed that way. Once they said that, something in my heart just said, this relationship isn't going to make it. And then I thoguht to myself this is ridiculous, it's just a car. And I didn't give it another thoguht. A month or so later, the relationship was cracking badly, and then a couple of months later, we broke up. And then got back together and things felt like they could be totally fine once again. Until something happened and we broke up for good.

You have to be careful with signs. Yes, they come from God. But the devil is a trickster, and he can make you think you are seeing a sign where you are not, like seeing a child that looks exactly like the one you planned with someone that you cannot handle a reltaionship with. The worst however, is when the devil gets into your heart and sounds like God telling you this relationship is good. Satan can make you believe that God is telling you to be with someone when in reality He is telling you run as fast as you can in the other direction. The devil makes things look pretty and Godlike. But they aren't. My advice to you today. Look for signs. Listen to those who are close to God, He speaks through them. Don't ever rely on just one person. God has signs everywhere. They just don't always look like what we want.
