They are referring to it as the &#8220;Eye of God&#8221;. I thought it was a neat God sighting.<\/p>\n<p>In my spiritual walk I am not one of those people who have had God &#8220;speak&#8221; through them.  I have had feeling, thoughts maybe even nudges but the few times I thought God was telling me something&#8230; I ended up being very mislead.  So I have really tried hard to just let things reveal themselves.  I know people that have said they literally felt a hand on their shoulder and knew it was God.<\/p>\n<p>I complained about this to my Doctor during one of my sessions and she simply said, &#8220;You are not sitting still to let Him.&#8221;  Well as annoying as that answer was  there is obviously some truth in there.  But I did reply, &#8220;Well God did give me the gift of ADHD! He knows I can&#8217;t sit still!&#8221;  I am sure God doesn&#8217;t have favorites.  (Though I must admit, it seem that way may times).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, as I am working on my relationship with God, I have decided to look for Him  in the every day.  Our pastor preached a sermon once on &#8220;God Sightings.&#8221;  I liked that.  When I stopped and looked or listened, I could see His Hand.<\/p>\n<p>So I on a quest for God Sighting in my own life.  It has been bothering me that I did not bother to blog this experience&#8230; so here it is&#8230; and I definitely know this was God&#8217;s intervention.  As you know, I went to Maryland with Josh for my brother&#8217;s graduation.  I got to the airport&#8230; ready to get this show on the road.  As I get into line, the lady asked for Josh&#8217;s passport.   Well we usually always drive and his birth certificate was enough.  My travel agent didn&#8217;t  say anything either.  The lady said that she was sure that they wouldn&#8217;t let me through&#8230; but she would talk to her supervisor.  All I could think about was the money that I had just spent!<\/p>\n<p>Well a long story short, I had to go to the immigration room (where they enjoy causing stress), be granted a one time pass,  missed my flight by 10 minutes, waited till 5 pm and missed all but the last 5 minutes of my brother&#8217;s party.<\/p>\n<p>I did pray throughout this whole stressful process.  I know this was a God thing because each person made sure I knew THIS never happened.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you God for coming through for me!  It was great to celebrate my brother&#8217;s accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p>God sighting&#8230; my definition is simply things that occur with divine intervention &#8230; there is simply no other way.  Well unless you believe in luck, a rabbit&#8217;s foot or karma.  I have decided that it is comforting to believe in a higher power.  A father that is looking out for my best interest, loving me and guiding me.  <\/p>\n<p>I would love to hear your God sighting if you want to share.  I will share mine as I see them&#8230; this may take a while, as I am near sighted!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a picture taken by NASA with the Hubble telescope.
