So…I’ve noticed some strange things happening. 
Strange things.
This is a post just for you peeps, since I’m a little unsure about posting it on my blog or my Facebook, and it seems to be more a spiritual question than anything!
(If I ever DO become Catholic, I’m gonna be awful at confession. I promise I’m getting to the point!
)
This is gonna sound weird. But, have you all ever heard of odd things happening, whenever someone begins to deepen their spiritual life a bit more, etc?
I consider myself a pretty rational gal! After all, coincidences do happen…it’s all a part of life, right?
Well…It started this morning.
Driving down the road, listening to good ol’ Bob Marley (Don’t worry, be happy~) I happened to notice a car coming onto the highway to my right.
Well, I do the regular thing and go to move to the left lane…
And the car ahead, in the left lane…SLOWED DOWN. On the highway. Until their car was beside mine.
I figured, heeey, no biggie! Gosh, I’ll just slow down, until the car at my left was ahead, and so the fella coming at the right could safely merge.
And then I saw a motorcyclist right behind me.
There was one in front of me too, so no speeding up to try to pass the peep merging.
Okey-Dokey then.
It was really a close shave, somehow I managed to squeeeeeze into the left lane, I’m not totally sure how- the merging car almost whacked the car that had been in front of me. (Which hadn’t moved/attempted to move over and was strangely drifting over the yellow lines)
Okay, granted, that was kinda funky- and I was a tad shaky- but made it to work A-okay, without having to find out if this TabbyCat has nine lives (Lol, Kidding! Kidding!)
At work, get outta my car, and I notice a heavily pregnant lady has dropped her bag of groceries by the car next to mine. I go to help her.
And what bumper sticker did I see on her car??
AM 820 CATHOLIC RADIO.
So of course my inner self is freaking out and I hadta keep myself from acting like an overexcited puppy. (CATHOLIC. PERSON. BESIDE. ME.
)
I’m pretty proud of myself for acting casual, “Heey, ma’am, I noticed that sticker. Ya go to St. Peter’s?”
She goes to the local St. Mary’s, as it turns out! She told me her brother- who is a coworker- is Catholic… (Um, unfortunately, her brother must not have told her he doesn’t believe, anymore - I didn’t say anything about this of course.)

Day goes by uneventfully, after that! And then, just as I was leaving for the night…
(This is gonna sound like something out of a movie, it’s pretty weird)
A fella walked up to me. Bald, sharp features, pale eyes. He hands me a card to a new shop he’s opening up.
It’s…an occult shop.
He goes, “You’re that girl who helped me find the gluten free stuff the other week…You oughta pay my shop a visit, little miss ‘Snow White’.”
“O-Oh, I’m awfully busy! I- I dunno if-“ I tried to politely decline.
“What do ya mean?” He laughed, “Not judging my shop are ya? You’re not Catholic, after all…” He winked, and then went on his merry way, leaving me stunned.
Sorry for how rambling this is!
My thoughts are very jumbled- lets just say it was an…interesting day!

), talking with Good Lord is best thing to do! Neither be afraid of situations like this, nor draw near this weird occult stuff. I definitely would not visit that shop! Beside that, love your writing style!
.
. Also, perhaps a suggestion is to poke around on the Ignatian Spirituality website, and see what you can learn.
