Question
Hi, my question is did i recieve signs from god. What happened is I was walking home and i was thinking about this girl i love. and i then saw her name on a sign. Then when i thought about her again i saw her last name spelled perferectly which she has a very uncommon and hard to spell last name too. Then i walked past a church that night with my friend and he then said god if you are here and you think that these 2 people should be together give us a sign(meaning me and the girl) and then the light went out. We tried this 5 times and it happened everytime we prayed for it. We went their the next night and we sat their for 2 hours and the light did not move and we found out no one was their and no circuit problems. Then another time when i was thinking about her i was a brochure with a summer school program that she exactly goes too. Then another i saw a heart and an a letter "A" in the clouds when i was tinking about her. I keep seeing these signs and everyone know thinks that god is saying to me that it is destiny for me and this girl to be together but i dont know what to think. Then their was another time when i had my ipod off and on hold and when i was near a church it turned on somehow when i was thinking about her and it was on a love song and then a time before that it turned to a worship song this man by jeremy camp in front of a church too. Plus my friends think that my one friend who is like a brother might be a messenger from god and a few other friends cause they see the same thing and somehow helps me out too. I do love her but she loves someone else in another confusing situation. Could my friends be right and can this really be a sign from god saying this is the person for me?
Thanks

Answer
Chris,

If you feel that you are receiving signs from God then you may. The Lord uses people and His word to get through to us. He uses our dreams and also just that gut feeling. The Holy Spirit is in us guiding us all the time. If you have accepted Christ and He is in you then God can be speaking to you.
