Sometimes I am simply blown away by how blatant the Goddess can be! It will catch my breath- just the amazing things that come together for their own certain purposes.
I was recently in an Emergency Room for excrutiating pain and had to receive some shots of pain meds. I used to actually work in the same ER and had left since but had kept irrational fears of heavy pain meds over me. Silly, I know- but we all have our anxieties. So I was FREAKIN out about the pain shots- not from the pain of the shot (Goddess knows how much I was already in) but from the feeling of being snowed by meds.
My nurse was a man and had left to get the shots. In walks a nurse I had not seen before with the shots. She introduced herself to me and I figured my nurse had perhaps sent for a female nurse to give the shots in the bottom since I actually knew him.
It my haze of pain, I looked at this woman's hand to see a pentacle ring. I darned near fell out of the gurney. This town happens to be very conservative and in it is this well-to-do hospital. I would not have expected someone to brandish so bravely her faith but perhaps that's my own insecurities. I told her I liked her ring and she in turn told me she liked my neckalce- a small charm with the Goddess, the triple moon and a pentagram. We had that little connection I think Pagans have when they recognize one another.
My fears were instantly gone as I knew the Goddess had sent to me a fellow walker on her Path for comfort.
How cool is that?! I LOVE it!
I am curious to hear other stories about the Goddess blatantly touching your life at a certain moment or time. :smile:
