Could not agree more! I have always called these moment God-incidents, as I don’t believe there are coincidences. God communicates with us if we are tuned in to hear Him! Loved your post!
Hi Tonya ~ after my mom died, my brother went to the beach to celebrate his birthday. When he got there, he saw a group of divers on the shore line getting ready to practice some rescue techniques -- on all their backs were big 22's. Probably their group number, but a coincidence -- NO. Love ya' ~ J.
Love this Jan! Definitely believe in Godwinks. Another way of putting it, he is showing you the path or letting you know he’s got this so have the faith and trust him. Rainbows 🌈 are definitely those for me right now as I’ve shared before. However and whatever they are, we need to say thank you God and have faith he will light the path! Take care and God bless! 🙏❤️
Anne ~ Yes, I always say "Thank you, God. I know you've got this!" when I experience a God Wink. I noticed how Rainbows have been lighting your way recently. I'm sure it's God. I was a Rainbow Girl (if you've ever heard of that organization) so they are special to me too. xoxo
I have had so many of these… the most memorable is the date October 25. My mother-in-law passed away on October 25, 2017. We moved in to our new house in Whitehouse on October 25, 2019, which would have been my due date with twins that unfortunately miscarried at 11 weeks. On October 25, 2021, I had unexpected bleeding when only a few weeks pregnant with baby Morgan. It turned out to be ok, and now she’s 11 weeks old.
Thank you Jan for an amazing writing.I have a different thing to share you.God answered my prayers in a different way.When I was finishing my Bachelors of Education my goal and dream was to put up my own school.What I did was to put up my Pre-School.After 2 years I was getting more enrolment until I was forced to expand . With the help of my family I was able to purchase a land .I got a loan to build a school Inspite of my limited funds.The school building was completed I was under stressed due to many more needs to be purchased such as office and playground equipments.I asked help from my parents and thank God everyone was supportive. The SY was getting closer I haven’t purchased desks for students.I cannot go pick them up unless I have the exact amount to pay them.One more week to go then first day of school I haven’t paid for the student desks.It was 7 p m I was in my office praying for God’s providence for the desks.I was kneeling down praying when the phone rang.A mother wanted to register her twin daughters for Grade one.She paid cash for the whole school year.Do you know how much she paid? It was exactly the amount that I needed for the desks.God is wonderful and he works in different ways.Amen This happened in the Philippines my point of origin
Oh, Elisa -- that was a HUGE God Wink. So thankful God took care of your needs & blessed all the little children you served. Thank you for sharing your story with me. I am so lucky to have found you here. xoxo
Great message Jan! I am completely sure that God sends us messages in different ways and I always put my decisions in his hands, he will lead me on the right path. Thanks ❤
Hi Jan, we restarted last week, it s near my house so I go in my bike. The children have already learned to read and write, which makes the job easier. On July my class won a contest about Perú.
Beautiful comments!! I, too, have experienced many “Godwinks”- several before I had ever heard them called that. I just know I describe them as a strong tug at my heart strings to recognize their positive presence in my life. My most memorable one was in my senior year of high school. My beloved grandmother was in a large hospital about 45 minutes away from our hometown. She was getting special treatment for cancer. My dad would not allow me to go with him to visit that day because he did not want me to miss any classes. He promised he would take me that weekend. I was silently crying as I entered the school building and my French teacher (also a family friend) stopped me to question my tears. She marched me down to the office , picked up the phone and called my dad. She told him to come get me and take me with him to see my grandmother. She told him it was very important! He took me with him and we had a very wonderful visit. There is much more to the story but the end result was sheer joy to be with her for a few hours. Three days later they sent her back to our hometown hospital and she passed that night. I was so sad but so grateful that I got to see her and talk to her just a few days earlier. She was a very special part of my life and still is. God’s love for her and me made our last time together a wonderful blessing and certainly a very special Godwink!
Hi Karen ~ you are so lucky to recognize those strong tugs at your heart strings. Sometimes I question them, thinking I'm nuts or something. Ha! I'm starting to have more faith in things like that as I grow older. So glad you got to see your grandmother before she died and that she's still in your life. xoxo
Thank you, Jan. Your words of encouragement mean so much to me. You are such a beautiful writer and I thoroughly enjoy reading all of your entries! I am not good at it but I will admit it is very cathartic to do so. I really enjoy it!
Love that Jan... I’ve never experienced anything with numbers,but I have with butterflies.
When I lost my partner,I went to stay with my daughter who lives on the top of Sage Mountain in the British Virgin Islands and always windy.I was sitting by the pool listening too my music and thinking about him when a dark orange butterfly fluttered around me.When my daughter came back home I asked her if she’d seen any butterflies around here and she said no it’s usually too windy.It was such a strange but lovely feeling I experienced.I kept hoping the butterfly would come again but it never did.x
Ah, that was beautiful, Lynn! It's definitely the feeling that goes with the experience that lets you know it's a true God Wink. I bet your partner -- in the form of that beautiful orange butterfly -- was letting you know he still loves you -- and It Will Be OK. Keep hoping... xoxo
Loved this Jan! Whenever I see a certain number on the clock, I’m reminded to pray for a loved one whose birthday it is: 6:05 my son, 6:12 my husband, 5:57 the time of my first son’s birth, 7:13 my best friend…and so many more. Haven’t had one special number like you, but I’ll be on the lookout! This was a special piece. I do believe in God-winks. 😉
I love this Jan and I do speak and talk to God daily. I have a ritual before they put me out for surgery surgeons and nurses we all put our hands together and one nurse read my written prayers.
Jan,you gave me goosebumps. I love how everything came to get her the #22 and the flyer that said keep doing what your doing. God speaks to all of us just in different ways. I do also believe in God winks. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Shari ~ yes, sometimes it's almost scary how things work out. I actually think God spoke to me two different times with a feeling -- a feeling of complete surrender & peace. God is good! Hope you are having a great Sunday. It is rainy here -- a good day for reflection (and laundry) Ha! xoxo

Agree! God is speaking to us in so many ways if we have our eyes open and ears and hearts listening! Love ya right back!

Hi Megan ~ I'm sorry you lost your twins. God Winks are reassuring though, aren't they? xoxo

What a great way to communicate with God before your surgeries! I'm sure God is with YOU. xoxo
I love “ Is That You, God?” I use this similar phrase when I seen the bright lights .
