ARE GUARDIAN ANGELS REAL OR A MYTH? : MY STORY
Fun Fact: Did you know that Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings? source
😊Hey There!
The topic of angels is indeed a controversial one, as some believe they exist and others feel they're a figment of one's imagination, like something made up to provide comfort. Dictionary.com defines a guardian angel as a spirit or person who looks after or is concerned with the welfare of another.
I come carrying two occurrences that I personally witnessed with the hope that they may inspire faith or optimism in mankind, and I'm open to your excellent thinking.
This happened in 2008, my first year at university. First years are typically difficult since you are attempting to comprehend the system while also ensuring that you do not fail any classes, thus the pressure. It was an afternoon graphic design class, and we were instructed to draw straight vertical, diagonal, and horizontal lines on a cardboard sheet using freehand, to be presented at 8 a.m. the next day. We got working and didn't know how late it had become, and just on my final carboard sheet, I made a mistake, attempted erasing but made my sheet dirty, and there was nothing I could do at that late hour, I believe 11pmish. I had no alternative but to stop working, pack my work tools, and go to the hostel to sleep, hoping that as early as 6 a.m. I could go to the bookshop, purchase a clean sheet, finish up, and meet the deadline, I had it all perfectly planned out.
The morning dawned, and I was the first one to arrive at the first store. In fact, I ran into the shopkeeper as he was opening the padlock.
"Wonderful,"
I thought. I then stood by the side of the counter and placed my order. I reached for my handbag since the cardboard sheet was roughly 150 naira. I was still looking for it when the shopkeeper informed me that someone had previously paid for my cardboard and that I should be given the change, the difference was 850 naira. I gave a hysterical expression and inquired as to who it was because we were the only two individuals present. The shopkeeper claimed he didn't know either, and I gathered my thoughts, thinking,
"The individual shouldn't have gone too far for me to say thank you."
I ran, but I didn't see anyone approaching or heading in my direction, on both sides. It was really early in the morning, and most students were still asleep.
Given that I didn't have much time to pursue the mystery man, I went to the studio, completed my sheet, and submitted it. It had been a long day, from one lecture to the next, and I was exhausted. I recalled my purse and why I couldn't locate it, so before leaving the department I unpacked my bag and looked. I began to fear since it included my most recent withdrawal about 4,500 naira, 2 ATM cards, and student ID. I didn't even realize I was crying. Gloria, my best friend, calmed me down and suggested we go to the hostel to check. I'm quite sure I left it in the hostel.
To shorten the story, my purse had gone missing, and it was that 850 naira that carried me through the next two days till I received money from home via my best friend. I fortunately found the purse two weeks later when I noticed an advertisement for missing things with my name and student ID number published. I walked over to verify and lo and behold, my purse was there with everything in it.
But what make me wonder till date is, who was that mystery man? was it my guardian angel? was it a good Samaritan who thought to help? was it all a coincidence or was it divine?
The second event occurred in 2011, during my final year. We were without power for two days because of a power outage at the University. My phone battery was going to die (only 30%, if I recall correctly), and I wanted to attend a student fellowship, so I borrowed my roommate's battery that if mine died, I'd have a spare to use. We set off, and the program ended at approximately midnight, still without power and with heavy rain falling. I strolled back to the hostels with a bunch of other students. When I got to my room, I remembered to give my roommate her batteries, but when I checked, I couldn't locate it.
I unpacked and panicked since it was her only extra battery, which she had generously given to me.
"What if it dropped off my purse?"
I wondered. So I went out at that hour of the night to retrace my steps. It was still pouring outside, and I couldn't see anything. I was in tears. I then ran into a friend who inquired what I was doing out late by myself. We were the only two people outside in the rain at that time. I told him about it, and he suggested that he assist me in looking for it. As we were about to start, a young man with a black hood (I'm not lying), we couldn't see the face clearly since it was so dark, approached me and said,
"Here is your battery."
I didn't understand what was going on at that time cause we were overjoyed and then it dawned on us, like what just happened? My friend and I chorused same time,
"who was that?"
I then added
"and how did he know we were looking for a battery?"
Goosebumps! My friend left me and ran after trying to catch up with this mystery man. I quickly raced inside the hostel to my room, handed my roommate her battery, and went to sleep, but I couldn't stop wondering who that mysterious man was. Was it really my guardian angel? Was it a good Samaritan who offered assistance? Was it merely a coincidence, or was it divine?
I feel strongly the message here is for now, to let someone know HELP isn't too far away if you can just Believe. We should never lose Hope!
❓I'm curious, What do you think about this events, does it prove that guardian angels exist, pure luck or is it just coincidences with good Samaritans? I would love to read your though in the comment section😊

Sinceramente, siempre me enseñaron a ser muy realista y tener "los pies sobre la tierra". Sin embargo, al igual que tú cuentas en esta historia, yo también he tenido algunos eventos sobrenaturales que me han hecho creer que Dios nos envía a sus ángeles a ayudarnos y protegernos, sobre todo cuando estamos en muy grandes apuros y cuando nuestra fe crece con más fuerza. Hermosa publicación. Gracias por compartir! Y claro que quiero conectarme contigo y compartir! Aquí estamos!
Temor
Me alegro mucho de que compartamos experiencias similares. Siempre es hermoso saber que no estamos solos.
Gracias, me encantaría tenerte como amigo.
Mucho amor para ti cariño

Amazing stories and I wouldn't doubt it if you told me so. 🕊
I hope you had an amazing Christmas @queenstarr
Thank you darling
Yes i did, it really was amazing😊
Hope you did yourself @kerrislravenhill 🌸
Wow, that is incredible it's funny how sometimes it feels like divine intervention or something of the sort when an event like that happens.
I have had numerous occasions where luck was definitely a factor but could it be something more. I don't know I don't usually tend to think about it for too long but there have been a few times where I really feel something or someone was really looking out for me.
Alos nothing worse than when you lose something and really can't find it especially when it is something like identification or money that is always the worst glad you found your purse eventually and didn't have to replace that stuff.
!PIZZA
Absolutely @drabs587
You always have an interesting perspective to things, Thank you always for sharing your thoughts. I do appreciate the time, much love💜
Seems too good to be true.lol.
Didn't your friend got him, in the 2nd one? how could he have disappeared then?
Anyway, interesting stories both of them. The only logical explanatioin was someone was stalking you daily 😂 just afraid to apporach 😉
Silly me, always forgetting about the !PIZZA

The coincidences and timing do make an incredible possibility of an angel, no doubt.
It is all really in the eye of the beholder when these things occur, there have been times when I have done something way beyond human and to outsiders I might look like a very foolish man for doing these things, but for some reason things went perfect and I'm still here, and I know someone has an eye on me as well.

Thank you so much @jamerussell
Love you this big💜🌸
Your wonderful stories make me wish I had one like it, too! I've experienced synchronicities in my life, and deep intuitions. But nothing like what you have experienced! I don't know what happened yet I absolutely believe anything is possible. You are obviously being supported by something unseen. I hope you can take comfort in knowing that whatever happens in your life, you're going to be okay.
synchronicities really, wow! Thays amazing, kmowing something nefote it haooens is awesome.
Thank you for this encouragement, i wil keep it in mind.
Appreciate you stopping by, much love🌸🌸
Si te creo absolutamente, porque también he tenido contacto con mis guardianes, 😊
Awesome, finally someone with such encounters. I knew I wasn't crazy hahaha
Thank you for visiting my post darling. Cheers💐
I do believe in all sorts of spiritual things including guardian angels. My connection with them is not that strong, but I demanded help from my guardian angels at times. I do believe you might have experienced this thing which was helpful and just great. It inspires me to connect more with my guardian angels. Thank You!
Wow, im glad to read about your experience too. Indeed, we have them looking over shoulders. Thank you for stopping by dear, cheers🌸
Wow! Awesome fact. Great job😊👍
Thank you @micky-teflon ☺️🌸
You are always welcome

Yes Dear, thank you so much for stopping by 🌸
very nice stories. guardian angels most certainly exist but i personally don't know that they often walk the earth as people. if you seek them in your consciousness you are likely to find them
happy new year

We all believe what we believe and that is alright! Some believe in Angels (the word comes from Greek Angeloi which literally means messengers), I am one of those people.

I have had too many things happen in my life to not believe in guardian angels. I thank God every day for watching out for me by sending people (angels) to help me when I need it most.
Thank You for sharing your stories. It is always good to share when wonderful things happen to a person!! It helps spread the light to others and offers Hope!!

Yes, one time I was on a late shift and had to take a midnight bus going home. Not much people at this time, we were only six passengers inside the bus. Then a group of people, 7 of them, got in at a certain stop, then each one except for one who went to the back of the bus seated themselves on where people were sitting, so one sat beside me too. When that moment happened I knew we were in deep trouble. I was already thinking, oh, shucks, I just withdrew money from the ATM, and my watch was new and so was my cellphone. Then for the longest minute of my life, everyone was feeling the tension on the bus, suddenly the leader said to the driver, "We're getting off." Then all the new comers just left the bus. Then the driver said, "My apologies. I didn't see them, had I seen them I wouldn't have let them in. I recognize them as notorious people. I'm surprised they let us off the hook." I was so relieved to hear that those bad guys suddenly didn't proceed with their evil plan. At that moment I thanked my guardian angel for protecting me always. I have other encounters too where I feel my guardian angel is at work. Thanks for this post.
🤯😲Wow
🥳Awesomee..... This is such an amazing encounter. I can just imagine that the eyes of those seven bad guys or the main leader got opened and could see these divine beings flapping their wings with a sword drawn out to defend and protect you all in the Bus.
Thank you so much for sharing, I'm encouraged🤗
I have connected with you, I'm honoured.
Much love to yoj and happy new year💜
Those stories were really freaky, especially the one about the battery! Thanks for sharing!
😅Yass.... Freaky is the right word, still can't shake it off tbh, it was a real and real could be... a Miracle!
Thank you so much @thekittygirl ,Love you this Big🤗
