I am the kind of person that looks for "signs" - whether it be in my dreams or in the physical plane.
In 2007 my middle daughter started getting into trouble. She was being harassed and assaulted, so because of it, she joined a gang. I refused to see it at first, because she is such a brilliant girl. When it finally hit me, I remember praying to God before bed one night and asked for a sign on what to do? I was at a loss... The next morning I went in to work, was asked to have a meeting with my supervisor and his supervisor. I thought we were going to discuss a girl we had recently hired who wasn't working out very well (a complete ditz who wanted to be an FBI agent.. Lol). So I get into the office and they proceed to tell me how very sorry they were, but they were going to have to lay me off.. BOOM!
I literally, at that moment, heard the words "HERE'S YOUR SIGN" and it was in Bill Ingvall's voice. Lol.. The moment struck me so funny, that I started to laugh out loud.. The 2 supervisors got a little freaked out by it (haha) and thought I was losing my mind. I got up, shook their hands, said "Well, it's been nice knowin' ya!", and walked out of the office. Packed up my personal stuff and said goodbye to everyone else. Everyone was amazed that I wasn't breaking down.
But why would I? I asked God for a sign and boy did I ever get one! Lol. My sign was losing my job, that then led to us leaving the state the very next week. My daughter is fine now. She regrets doing the gang thing and chalks it up to being a dumb kid. She has since given me 2 grandchildren and she's in her 3rd year of college now and has applied to University of Hawaii to finish her degree.
So as hard as all of this is right now, I know that somehow, this will all work itself out. I've been asking for signs (and being a lot more careful about "how" I ask for them), but not really getting anything yet. Or maybe the signs are there and I'm just not seeing them. IDK..
