Would you share your experiences & those of others within your circle of friends & family.
Sure I can. I don't offer any of it as proof for anyone else, but it certainly is for me. Just something to consider if my opinions and character are valued.
Ok, so I had a bad accident in 2010. Almost died. God found me after that accident and changed my life.
So it took many months to recover, but I did. Finally stepped foot in the gym again and I was a bit humbled for the first time in many years.
I prayed and pushed through and out of nowhere an older man (60ish) approached me. He was in great shape, handsome, white hair, white beard/moustache, tan, blue eyes, roughly 6'5" and probably 275lbs...solid.
I had headphones on and hadn't interacted with anyone....hadn't even made eye contact with anyone. Keep in mind, when my headphones are on my head in the gym virtually non one ever approaches me.....ever. This man randomly came up to me, I removed my headphones and he said, "You just keep doing what you're doing and all will be fine." He went on to say, "I spoke with a man a few days back. He is 88 years old and a Green Beret and he told me that it's what in your heart that matters. So you keep doing what you're doing. Have a great day."
I was highly encouraged and felt blessed. The man then walked behind me and I sat there for a second and turned back to look at him and he was gone. I looked all around and this dude was gone.
Keep in mind we were at the front/centerish part of a large Gold's gym and in that second he couldn't of casually walked (or even run) away out of sight. He vanished.
I'm convinced he is an angel of the Lord sent to encourage me in those moments. I never saw him before in the gym and have never seen him since. It was cool.
