What do you make of my experience this year?

Seeing as I am a new member here, this is the only thread I can put this...

I will start off by saying hello to all you ATS members. This forum is great and I am hoping I would be labelled as crazy here, as some of my real world mates like to sometimes.. I will leave this with you to make of it what you will...

I'll give you a bit of background about my situation. I was living in Christchurch, New Zealand in an old nuns convent that at the time was being rented out to a bunch of students. I had been living there for about 2 years when this all started. On Sept 3rd last year. I was feeling pretty 'lost' about some personal issues etc and decided to really look inwards at myself. That night I prayed for the first time in my life (now I wasn't paying to any god, but my in a spiritual belief that I have) (I won't get into what I was praying about, as that is personal). As you may be aware at 4.24am in Christchurch on the 4th of Sept we were struck by a mag 7.1 earthquake, the likes of which I wish that noone will ever get to experience in their lifetime!

Now of course I could just put this down to coincidence, and at the time I did. A few weeks later during all the aftershocks My flatmates and I spent our last day in the convent as our lease was up. We spent the day doing what we love doing playing a game of backyard cricket (for you Americans, Cricket is I guess similar to Baseball as you have to try hit a ball with a stick) anyway... At the convent we had a chimney that had a hole at the top (imagine a brick chimney about 3 stories high) now remove 1 brick very near the top and that was the hole. We also said if someone can hit the ball through that hole, it would be a 'miracle shot'. Now I didn't believe, but with my very last ever shot playing cricket I hit the ball through this hole! At the time I said to mates "look this is proof that anything can happen and nothing is impossible! I have kept the Ball as a reminder and I wrote the date that it happened on the ball. (22/11/10) (I will refer to this date later on.)

Now I decided to move to Melbourne a few weeks later, as the constant aftershocks where taking there toll on me and I wanted a reprieve. The day before I was to leave, I decided to make another pray to my spiritual higher being. This time I will tell you what I prayed for... And that was "if all these things that have been occurring to me is a sign of your higher existence, give me a sign beyond any doubt, amen" now at that exact second there was a knock on my front door. (I was at this stage living at my parents house before I moved to Melbourne). I open the door, to see a little Asian girl standing there. See asked me if I would like to do a survey, I asked what about, She then said to me "are you Christian? I stood there stunned for a second, before realizing this girl was waiting for an answer. I didn't no what to say, A eventually said, I don't have time, and said goodbye. (I was in shocked and couldn't have complete the survey even if I wanted to).

Now all this was getting a bit to freaky, but my story doesn't end there. When living in Melbourne, I had caught up with a few of my friends and had gone out for dinner with then one night. Afterwards when going home, I said to them.. I have been feeling really weird all day (I can't really explain it, perhaps extreme anxiety would be the best description, I have never suffered anxiety, so can't really compare it), anyway the feeling was so weird that it prompted me to say to my friends "I think something bad is going to happen tomorrow!" To my horror at 10am Aus time my home town Christchurch was hit by the worst Aftershock, a mag 6.3 which devastated the city and killed 181 people (by far the worst disaster in New Zealand's short history! Now if recall the date of this 22nd February, Now the first number of my ball, I hit through the chimney at the convent 3 months previous the 22nd! another very surreal coincidence. Now the next number on my ball... 11, what happened on the 11th March... Japan earthquake.

Now other weird things have occurred to me during this time. Including a random lady coming up to me at my work. Not buying anything, only to say to me "make the most of your time left... you know what I mean!" and then leaving. (this lady was what in my mind would be a definition of a angel. I must also say that I have been observing the 11.11 experience for a number of years now also.

I have skipped out a number of other weird coincidences, because I think you get the picture by now...

Now because of the relevance of the thread, I must day that I have only played roulette at a casino once in my life, a couple of months ago. For some reason I felt urged to put a lot of money down on the number 23 for a spin... sure enough 23 popped up and I won a lot of money... lucky me...

Anyway i'm not sure what to make of it all, but thought I would share it all with you, as everyone else just thinks i'm crazy!

Ha! I love it! And....no...I do not for one second think you are "crazy".

Also....welcome to ATS.

I honestly could write a book on behalf of ALL the cool spiritual occurrences that have happened to me in my 38 years, but things like this DO HAPPEN when you seek and pray....they just do. It is proven and has been observed by me the power of prayer does indeed heal.

Thank you so much for sharing your story/testimony as I think it is relevant to the times we live in today. I had just read a thread about the Christ Church EQ that has been prophesied for Wednesday the 28th. and I really do pray you guys over there are held within the light of love and not harmed in any way.

I pray for us all!! xoxoxox

Thanks, I am current back In Christchurch to be with my family, and an aware of these letters... they truly are frighting many residence in Christchurch. After all we have been through over the past year it's the last thing this city needs to induce fear... I don't think people who don't live here can quite comprehend what we are going through... all we can do is be prepared for anything, anytime!

((((((((HUGS)))))))

You are very much correct..... I ...nor we.... have a clue what you guys are going through...we can only imagine. To actually FEEL what you feel would be to experience what you have experienced and I can say I have never been in an Earthquake much less the magnitude you and the people have endured.

I can only imagine the fear that comes over you when you think you feel or you know you feel the ground shake.

I can only imagine what its like to have people running in the streets, handing out newsletters that say another BIG one is coming.

I can only imagine my friend!!!

Peace and love to you and yours!!!!! xoxoxox
