The answer is both simple and complicated. The image you see on the left is something I've carried with me all my life, through countless foster homes, one previous marriage and many homes of my own. But there is a reason. When I was very small (maybe four or five) I was attacked severely. I, in my innocence, ran to hide from the perpetrator. I ran toward an open corner in the room (corner of a room where two walls meet). I crouched down and covered my head. I heard him coming and crouched down even tighter, but he went right past me (I wasn't behind anything and he should have seen me but he didn't) . He doubled back and then out. I opened my eyes and lowered my arms. Standing there covering me with her shimmering dress was an angel, much like the one pictured on the left. That day started my journey into understanding the divine influences that are not always so obviously present. This angel was given to me after I talked about what I had seen. I studied psychology, so I understand that the mind, in its need to feel protected, can conjure these images; so there is that possibility, of course, but my heart tells me it was much more than that. I had many more of these type of encounters but this was the only time I ever saw this being who presented themselves in this way. Light beings, Angels, Spirits, Ancestors, Spirits, whatever we call them, I do believe they are there. The most recent encounter was my own brother (again can be explained as a suffering mind seeking solace but I believe it was him). I was looking up at the sky after he passed away and I saw angels. I thought to myself: well angels are easy brother, show me some fish and I'll believe its you. A little while later all the clouds looked like fish (or was it in my mind?) The fact is I will never know 100%, so I cannot swear that what I've seen is real or even angelic but I choose to believe it was and I live my life accordingly.
I've also had other types of encounters and have witnesses for those. They may join this forum later on and we can talk about those. But for this one I wanted to focus on the good because that is what Deva's is to me-a place where we can focus on the good, the love, and the light-even during difficult times.
I know a lot of you close to me are going to be shocked that I'm finally sharing my story and probably shocked I didn't publish a book, but I have a feeling that this will probably help a lot of people a lot better because we get to interact and support each other.
Do you have any angelic or divine intervention stories? Or experiences that make you stop and think? Share them. I know a few people that have and I hope they share their stories here. These are amazing human beings and all would benefit from hearing from them (no pressure :)
