Do you believe in angels??
After yesterday there is no doubt that we have angels right here on earth!!
I was feeling very down and out yesterday because we're still evacuated and I'm suppose to leave for Guatemala in 11 days. I prayed hard the night before that if this trip was not meant to be for God to chow me. If it was meant for me to take that He showed me this too. Well to cut to the chase I went to Hudson's treasure hunt which is this store here near my mom's that has AMAZING bargains!! Well of course I couldn't pass them up because I knew I would be in Guatemala soon. Well on three seperate occassions God placed three different people in my path and I was able to discuss the kids in GUA with them and all of them contributed towards the purchase of supplies for me to take. Now of course this is the short version and PLEASE take a moment to read the entire story on my blog!! I left my shopping trip feeling awesome and with the renewed faith that God wanted me to still go on this trip and that He would provide for me to do so!! I just needed to share this amazing experience with each of you!

YES they are real and everywhere!!!
I am overwhelmed with you. What an amazing story of God's faithfulness and love. I always tell my kids "you never know when you might meet one of God's angels" You met three, what a blessing.

I don't believe in supernatural angels, but I do believe that other people are our angels. People are who help us in our time of need and help us by giving us joy and love.

Yes, I believe .... my whole adoption story includes "signs" and answered prayers along the way!
Glad you blogged so you have a journal of yours. AS AWESOME as they are, I have the tendency to forget. I pulled out my journal the other day and read it from the adoption process 3 yrs ago and sat in tears remember how close God/angels were to me during that process. OH .. and my poor car angel has to work overtime to keep me and my driving from harming anyone!

Short answer, yes, I believe in angels and have felt their presence in my life.
Read your story, all I can say is WOW. God knows what we need and when and how we need it.
