I was very depressed and probably at one of the lowest times in my life. I was 40 pounds overweight, failing out of school and was having problems at work. I couldn't get a date and I was falling further out of reach from my friends by the day. I decided I would start praying out loud every night and ask God to "tell me where I needed to go in life" and "to FORCIVELY PUSH me in the direction he had planned for me " and "send me the man I am going to marry because I am TIRED of looking!".

After a few weeks of prayer, a female voice, clear as someone standing behind me said "Stop worrying. Its not your time. Finish school and don't worry about anything else until then". At that point I was so filled with the Holy Spirit!

I breezed through school like someone was walking with me!

A week after school ended, the voice came again "Now is your time. Start exercising". So I did! And I had strength I never found before! 3 months later in a chance encounter, I met a guy. A month later the voice came AGAIN saying "This is the man you will spend the rest of your life with. You will have children will this man". Since I had told my mother a week earlier, there was NO way I was ever getting married (by CHOICE) and definitely no way I was ever having kids, the message was a little hard to swallow.

A week later, my boyfriend was acting unbelievably peculiar. He began asking me if he was the kind of guy I could marry, et al. I almost broke up with him because I thought he was acting desperate and WEIRD. I mean it really isn't COOL to talk MARRIAGE the first MONTH you date someone!!!

Then he kept asking me if I was ready to settle down and I finally said "what is UP with you?" and he finally confessed something really amazing. ALL month long, while he was sitting at work, a female voice kept talking to him saying "Be prepared. You are going to have a baby. Start preparing". And 9 months later, God blessed us with the most beautiful baby girl. The female voice WAS obviously an angel. They are messengers from God!!!
