Angels Unaware
Have you ever had one of those experiences where you feel like God was talking to you, but you are too embarrassed to tell anyone because, well, "that's weird" and God does not do that and people would think I am wierd?
Well, I have decided to be brave and share my experience yesterday.
I am not going to say it was some out-of-body experience, but it certainly was something that got my attention and made me wonder.
My hubbie's appointment to get his test results was at 10:30 a.m. yesterday. It was approaching noon and I had not heard from him yet.
I had taken my cell phone, while driving, and tucked it up under the edge of my shorts on my right leg (away from the window) where it would be closer so I would hear and not miss his telephone call. I had been worried and praying for him all morning while driving.
Suddenly, a light flashed in my face. I looked down. The sunlight was bouncing off of my cell phone and was hitting me in the face. However, the rest of my legs were in complete shade.
As the next song began to play on the cd player, I heard the word "light" just as seconds after the light hit my face.
You can listen to the first words of the song here on his website....it is just a short sample. I could not find it anywhere else on the internet to listen to.
I looked up to the sky to see where the sun was that would be causing such an odd thing. Nothing strange.
I looked back down as the light hit my face again. "Could this be God?" I thought?
Then I heard the words in the song again, "Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware."
Suddenly, I felt as if God were telling me not to worry, that he had sent his angels to watch over our family. I felt as if He were saying to me that we were unaware that we were entertaining angels at that very moment, to comfort us.
I looked up at the sky again. Nothing.
Somehow, I felt comforted. I felt as if I "knew" my hubbie was going to be okay.
Then I heard the words "And trust Him with your heart He'll lead you home." It was as if God was telling me that I could keep trusting Him and he would lead us, my hubbie and I, home to Him in heaven at his own timing, and not to worry.
I thought to myself, "No, God does not speak to us like this. Shake it off." And then I thought, "What if, just what if, exactly at the moment when the light shown my hubbie was getting the news from the doctor." No. No way could it all be that much of a coincidence.
I'll call him. No. Just wait for him to call. No, go ahead and call or you will never know. Okay. I called.
No answer.
Moments later, the phone rang. It was my hubbie telling me that he did not answer because he was just getting the news from the doctor and that the doctor wanted to step out of the room so that he could talk to me, that he had not gotten all the news. It was Good News! There is no cancer!
Wow, so the light DID shine on me right when he was getting his news. Is this God or is this just coincidence? Never again did the light shine on my leg the rest of the trip.
I am not going to state affirmatively that it is God, but it sure felt like it was. Please do not think me weird, but it DID happen.
So, now the doctor is looking at his heart instead. He gave him baby aspirin and an enhaler and stated that if things get worse to go to the emergency room. That was not comforting. We still do not know what is causing his symptoms. More tests to come. We will just trust in the Lord with all our hearts as we continue on.
I appreciate all the prayers we are receiving from everyone online. Please keep praying! God is sending angels to watch over us!

Angels Unaware (Trilogy3)

Maybe there's a light in my soul
Maybe it flickers like a neon sign
Outside an abandoned hotel
Maybe there are things you just can't know
But can you say there are no mysteries
In the house you choose to dwell?
Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware
Maybe there's a place where we will fly
But some, say God is dead like Nietzsche said
And faith has made me a fool
But maybe there is more than meets the eye
Who's that stranger, there, beside you?
Don't be smug and don't be cruel
Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware
Battles of the heart and of the mind
We stay caught in mental purgatory
'Til our existence can be defined
Meanwhile on the shores of parallel
There may be a hold conference held somewhere
Discussing all mankind
Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware
I say maybe we are entertaining angels unaware
Angels unaware
Longing, reaching
Searching, knowing
Loving, caring
Let me take you by the hand
Lead you to the Promised Land
And trust Him with your heart
He'll lead you home
Let me take you by the hand
Lead you to the Promised Land
And trust Him with your heart
He'll lead you home
Let me take you by the hand
Lead you to the Promised Land
And trust Him with your heart
He'll lead you home
Let me take you by the hand
Lead you to the Promised Land
And trust Him with your heart
He'll lead you home
Soaring, somewhere
Longing, reaching
Searching, knowing
Loving, caring
Soaring, somewhere

What a blessing, Hummie. I don't doubt you were entertaining angels unaware, that God was sending you a message that no matter what happens, He is with you.
That is such wonderful news!!!!!! I believe that God is working all around us and we just don't notice it anymore. I'm glad that you did. Wonderful news!!!!
that is wonderful news!!! Thank you for sharing that story.. And yes. I do feel that way sometimes:) you are not alone:) HUGS!!!

Really glad to read that your husband results were good and it is not cancer :) I hope is nothing really worrying and everything turns out well. So best wishes to both of you. :)
And not, it's not weird what you experience. Sometimes people do have that kind of feelings and feel how things are going to turn out. :)
The only thing I never dare to mention in my other post in your blog when I read your husband problem, is this. He seems to be having some kind of breathing problems that might affect him. I'm not sure whether this might be of use but perhaps after dealing or at the same time he is dealing with the doctors, he might consider practising Yoga. I suggest that as Yoga tends to focus in breathing techniques that seem to be very helpful with lots problems when practise with qualified practitioners. It might improve his breathing and perhaps help him to feel better. I also remember reading him having some kind of back problem, it will be very helpful for that as well. It's a very gentle exercise and very helpful in situations like your husband's.
I hope everything turns out well so best wishes. :O)
He never leaves you alone. Just trust in him & he will make everything all right. Each person in their own way & own time has had a visit & talk with him. He does answers prayer. I had mine @ the early age of 7. He took charge of my life when all the Dr's said, it would not be. Again, he lifted me up last July, when I was paralyzed with no feelings within my extremeties, he again gave me hope. So regardless what anyone says, if you believe, then everything will be all right. I Believe that my GOD I Serve is a just & caring God, A Miracle worker as I can freely testify. So Hummie, there is no denying when he talks to you in various ways. Just listen & you will conquer your trials.
God does use various means to reassure us and restore hope and peace. The best part is that even if had turned out that he had cancer, God would still be there just as powerful and just as supporting.
