God sends us signs in life do you listen? Have you ever turned on the radio or T.V. only to hear the same type of message coming through every commercial, song, or show only in a different way. Has it ever seemed that every conversation that you hear in a certain time frame is about the same thing. This is quite often how God and our Angels try to communicate with us, and it is up to us to listen.

When I was in college I was going out to the bars on the weekends with my friends. I started noticing street signs that I hadn't seen before warning of the dangers of drinking and driving. Then it seemed like every time I turned on the radio in my car there was a commercial warning again of the dangers of drinking and driving, and the consequences there of. I remember telling myself that this was a warning that I was going to get a D.W.I if I did not stop even having one drink and getting behind the wheel of my car. I decided to brush it off as only being paranoid and continued on my merry way believing that this would not happen to me because I didn't get drunk when I went out, just buzzed. The commercials seemed to get more frequent and the street signs kept popping up in places that were not there the day before. Sure enough, two weeks after I started to notice the warning signs I got pulled over for D.W.I and landed in jail. It was a horrible experience that could have been avoided if I had just listened. Listened not only with my ears, but my heart and head as well.

Now I watch and listen for signs to take heed of what danger's God is trying to protect me from. I know that it is hard to listen, we want to tell our selves that we are being paranoid, or other's may think that we are crazy. I know that God wants the best for all of us in this life because we are his children and like any loving father he wants to protect us from going through any more hardship than is necessary. However, we must learn to pay attention and listen to these warnings. Like most children we dismiss our parents when they try to tell us anything. I am here to tell you that the signs are real, and you must listen to them in what ever form they come in. Talk to God every day as you would anyone else that you love, because he is truly with you all the days of your life. And my prayer for you is that you listen to my story and you see the different signs that come to you in your life and you listen. God is always helping us and teaching us and we must all share these experiences with others so that they may no the truth.
