Baptized Catholic, family converted to strict Christianity after that then early adulthood I considered myself agnostic.

Now I’d say agnostic Christian but that’s contradictory. Maybe spiritual? Idk

I don’t go to church and do things like that as why I say that.

I don’t like force what I believe in on other people. Common sense says that is not my place and also rude. I don’t wish to convert people. I’m not on a mission to ‘shove it down throats’

It’s the little things that show me God is looking out for me. I’ve got my own set of things im dealing with as everyone else does too.

But finding my vape (I lose it a lot) and then getting an urge to make my bed and suddenly finding it ?

That’s a miracle. Little things like that. Needing extra and then being bored decided to go through my old purses and found 100 dollars?

Those things are HUGE to me. Relieve so much stress. And they seldom happen. I’m thankful for a lot.

I’m grateful for those moments.

    The really sad thing is that you were raised in a way to think that literally the most normal shit is somehow miracles from a greater power. Its indoctrination 101. Youre taught to look for all these little things so that its confirmed he exists. Whereas the rest of the world thats just life. Period. Lost a vape? You look for it and find it. Ta da. Happened to find money you forgot somewhere. Oh, well, guess I need to be more responsible with cleaning out my purses. If anything, if its things like that you have to ‘cling to’ theres probably a bigger issue like stress management that needs to be looked into. Its not that you have some set of tools that helps you cope, its that you were taught to cope a certain way. I know this probably sounds negative anx I apologize bjt its a crutch that youll be better without, I promise. I say this as someome who used to to the same, had the same habits, etc.
