About 7 or 8 years ago, I was praying for God to bring somebody into my life. Shortly afterwards I met someone who was doing a 'year out' with the church I then attended. We spent quite a bit of time working together and seemed to get on like a house on fire. But I knew she'd only be around for a year and then she'd be moving away. In any case, I respected what she was doing too much to want to distract her with a relationship. So instead I prayed that if it was God's will for us to go out, she'd get a job locally when her year was up and stay around. The following week she told me she had applied for a local job and I was so excited I was swinging from the roadsigns on the way home that night. But she didn't get that job - she got a job in London instead. I was really angry with God for bringing someone that wonderful into my life, making me think He was answering my prayers - and then not doing so. A few weeks later (before she actually left town) I went to London for a meeting that was 'coincidentally' in the same street she told me she was about to move to. As I walked up the hill towards where I was going, I noticed somebody had graffitied the words 'God Loves You' on the gable end of one of the buildings. When I got there, I checked the address - and it was the building she was about to move into! I realised at once it was a direct message from God into my situation.
