Spiritual Birth

I read an article on spiritual birth and having that day be a day to celebrate. I contemplated for a while, when was my spiritual birth? So many times in my life I can remember as the aha moment. First thing that comes to mind was the death of my one day old brother Mark. I was very young and yet spiritually this made a huge impact on me. I referred to Mark as being an Angel in Heaven that watched over me, I kept telling him to give kisses to Mom because she was so sad. My oldest brother Troy died at one year old, and every time I went to the mausoleum with my Mom it felt like the air was sucked out of me and a choir of Angels was singing. The avoidance of 4 head on collisions while driving down the same road. It was like I was in a Final Destination movie, I was sure I was meant to die. I prayed and prayed, thanking God for having Angels guarding me. When I met my second husband I could swear there was a Divine intervention. I had been divorced over 5 years and truly had given up on meeting anyone. I'm in a karaoke bar that one of my friends works at and I hear this voice of an Angel singing Strawberry Fields Forever. I am not a Beetles fan so If he was singing a song I liked I may not have noticed him. As it turned out I really it was destiny as we are still in "love" 22 years later. My son Dillon was born without a heartbeat or breathing, my husband and I prayed harder than we ever did. Thankfully a nurse saved his life, we were told to expect complications such as learning issues. Dillon is blessed, and came through it with no medical issues. I could add so many more things that could mark my spiritual birth, yet just knowing I have faith, a Divine connection, and feel drawn to keep living spiritually is more than enough.
