I know some think it's strange when folks often happen to see certain numbers. And that's okay. I can't explain it either. I just know that God works in ways that will get our attention. When we pay attention, we can experience encouragement from Him, like a breeze on a really hot day, or the sound of song birds on a down day, or the sun popping out from the clouds. God is everywhere. Mostly, I receive encouragement from Scripture. His Word is like a really big glass of cool water, and I love water. Hadn't been feeling well the last couple of days, so I took some time to myself today and slept in. Did not set the alarm. When I woke up and looked at the clock, it read 11:11. Made me smile. Have had a few setbacks lately (not physical) that made me want to just give up for a while in real life. But I believe God allows things to happen for a reason. And I choose to look with eyes of faith that better days really are ahead and to keep going. Sharing this in case you need that message too.

I love how honest your post was Sam.

PS: And what's strange/fun was that it ended at exactly 1,000 words, the limit. Thought I'd have to go through and edit it to shorten it. But ended exactly at that cut-off number.
