Could It Be My Angel?

A few weird things have happened to me over the years that make me think that I have a guardian angel. The first major incident occurred when I was about 14 or 15. My best friend and I were into experimenting with alcohol and cigarettes, and one day we were hanging around a hiding place we had discovered, drinking and smoking. Now, both of us had grown up in religious homes, and at the time our fathers were both in seminary getting master's degrees. Our families both lived at the seminary in family housing. To this day, we think that all of the religion in our backgrounds caused us to rebel as teens.

On this particular day, we started talking about how God couldn't exist if there was so much pain in the world, and how we weren't going to believe in God anymore, and so on. I remember the conversation being quite in-depth and lengthy, but we were drunk, so who knows? Later, we went to our respective apartments. Feeling very sick, I crashed on my bed intending to take a nap. When I closed my eyes, a Bible verse started to sort of appear in my head -- I think it read Psalm 13:11 (it might have been Psalm 11:13, I don't remember). All I know is that it stayed there for a long time, to the point where I had an overwhelming urge to look it up. Reluctant to get out of bed, I dragged myself over to my closet to dig out an old Bible. When I found it, I looked up the verse, and was very shaken to read simply A fool in his heart says there is no God. Please note that aside from reciting some of the more popular Sunday School verses, I hadnt really read the Bible much. Unless I had seen the verse before and it was somehow etched into my subconscious, there was no reason whatsoever for me to recall this passage.

On another occasion, I was living with a roommate, and I was struggling to make ends meet. My car had just been broken into, and after having the window fixed I had no money to buy groceries. One day I just started crying out of exasperation and worry. When the mail came the next day, there was a refund check for a $50 application fee I had paid to a college that I thought about attending 6 months earlier. It wasnt much, but it bought me some food. The strange thing is that most colleges have nonrefundable application fees. Go figure.

There have been other things, like how I hear my name spoken out loud sometimes (not just in my head, but into my ear!) when no one is around me. I also had a ghostly experience, but thats another topic! I really do hope that I have an angel watching me, and I'd love to hear from people with similar experiences.
