I have a confession to make...

I'm right there with you. The past 30 days have been life changing for me and I have encountered certain "signs" as well. Truth is, I believe these "signs" have been with me the whole time. I either chose to ignore or was oblivious to them. I considered myself agnostic w/ shades of atheism all of my life until recently. Figuring it out for me was all too simple. You don't have to put a face to God or even understand it. God is Love. Nice to hear about someone else experiencing something so similar. Very comforting.

Amazing what dropping a phosphorescent pink bunny suit can do for one's outlook.:faint:

let us stop for a moment .... signs just for YOU, how awesome is that !!!


Matt. 22:14 "For many are called, but few are chosen."

Rev. 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
Psalm 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

That's not how I meant it, and that's not what I'm claiming, but yes, the signs were for me, and I suspect anyone living under our roof. Everyone in our house seems to have had the same revelation at varying levels.

I'm very happy for you. I'm certain your signs were for you and you alone. Faith is a very personal thing. I strongly suspect that your beliefs are unique, just like the rest of us. One does not need to be a biblical scholar to have deep faith, and it is likely that your level of acceptance of various biblical stories will morph with time.

Congratulations, and may God bless you and yours.

Just had an odd thought... what if someone had the opposite realization, and announced they were now atheist ?

Would there be multitudes of people saying, "I'm so happy for you!!! Congratulations!!" ??


I'm thinking not.....
People tell others who have been deemed cancer free congratulations. You wouldn't tell the person diagnosed with cancer congratulations. This is very similar.

I'm sorry for the heartache that you've experienced recently.

Sounds like my experience. The "signs" were always there waiting for me to be ready to see them.

Sorry Hank I don't buy it.

I would have never guessed that you had found Jesus by some of the awful posts you have made to forumites since my time here. It seems your 'faith' would influence how you treat people even on a recreational internet forum. If you found the light {by your own admission} prior to this thread, it has often not been reflected in your comments. As far as Hank, I will give him the benefit of the doubt, and time will tell. People can change. I have seen it in my life. And, mAlice has always voiced her views, {and by her own admission has recently become a believer}, but never have I ever seen her be mAlicious to anyone on this forum. There is a difference.

You seem very happy mAlice and want to spread your joy. Thanks for sharing. I am happy for you!

Perhaps, you are unaware of his current situation. You should lay off.

Someone posted lately that he was on hospice watch. No matter how awful some here are to others, it is human nature to rally around that same someone going through a troubled time. I hope Hank appreciates the support he is getting, and gives back the same.

Do you not believe that someone could have an epiphany and change their life?

"But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found."
Luke 15:32

Deejay that is a nice quote but a person does not change their basic attitude and way of life overnight. Sorry I have seen this before and it was fake. It has just been my experience.

Apparently, mAlice has had a profound effect in starting this thread. Praise the Lord! :lol: With all humor aside, it is a good thing. Go, mAlice!

Then I must ask the question. What do you think about mAlice and her change of heart?

Hey, Bone. Are you saying that when people you know said they had a change of heart, been saved, seen the light, or however you want to put it, no one changed, and it was always fake? Just curious. This is a very good thread. With all the turmoil in the present world, it is interesting to zero in on individual belief/thought. Everything happening in the world starts with one person at a time. Footprints in the sand, so to speak.
