Ask And You Shall Receive

As a child I had always been told that God was good, and, as an adult I was told that the Universe was abundant but to be careful what you wished for………

The very best angel related (or divine helper) story was how I acquired my second and third cars. I had at the time been driving a Metro since passing my test at a mature age in 1998. Because of the low seats in the Metro I was beginning to experience problems with my posture. I had said to my youngest son that I would ideally like a Nissan Micra or a Vauxhall Corsa, they were just the right sort of size for me, and asked him to keep a look out for a car for me.

Every day when at my place of work I would see a pale blue Corsa parked in the car park with the number plate K152 FBF and every time I saw that car I would say to myself "I would love a little car like that".

My Metro was due for MOT in January 2001 and when the garage told me it would cost a lot for welding I knew it was seriously time to look for a new car. So I scoured the ads in the local paper went to a couple of garages looking at cars, I actually had my eye on a red Micra at one garage. But, then, a man from a local garage drove a pale blue Corsa into my son's place of work. My son knowing this man was from the garage, asked him if the car was for sale, he said it was and that he had just picked it up and was going to do a full service on it. My son asked the man not to sell the car until he had spoken to me knowing it might be just what I was looking for.

My boss very kindly took me up to the garage on the Monday so I could have a test drive. When I saw the car I knew it was for me because the number plate read K167 FBF, just 15 digits different to the car I had seen in the car park every day at work. I could not believe it. Because I had asked for a car just like the one at work, I believe someone gave a helping hand. If I had said instead "I would love that car" then I do not think that I would have got my wish because the car at work belonged to someone else. My car had been made available for me.

Four and a half years later on in October 2005 I actually let this car go. In late 2004 my car had broken down and was off the road for 3 weeks because the mechanic couldn’t find the fault and fix it. For a few months I had been worried because the clutch had been groaning and even though my mechanic had adjusted it and said it was okay it worried me. Also driving to the spiritualist church one evening the orange (engine management) light had come on and stayed on all the way there. Consequently I had been wishing I could have a more reliable car, a bit more up to date, but was reluctant to let my little Corsa go as I felt it was part of my family. Plus I did not have a clue how I would afford it. So then I spoke to God ‘God, you know I need a new car but I have no money, can you help me’?

God, fate, spirit or the angels, however were to play a part but only when I had given permission for it to happen.

On Friday 7th October 2005 whilst driving home from work I was chatting away as usual to my assistant Adrian who I always gave a lift home to. Somehow we got on to the subject of televisions. I began to tell Adrian how much I loved my television and that I would get very stressed if my grandchildren messed up the remote controls as I did not know how to correct them. My actual words were “I can’t live without my television. ‘THEY’ can take my car anytime they like as long as ‘THEY’ don’t take my television”.

And so it was that along ‘THEY’ came that very same night and ‘THEY’ took my lovely car and it was found the following morning totally burnt out. I was in shock. I couldn’t believe someone had taken it, or that I had actually given permission for them to do so.

On the Monday I went into work on the bus, told my boss about my car being taken and he promptly hired me a brand new Corsa. I was petrified of driving it as I was not used to new cars and was afraid that I would scrape it. I was told I could have it for a week until my insurance was sorted out, for which I was very grateful.

The following Monday the hire car was due to be returned but I was told by my boss that I could keep it for another week. I had the hire car for 4 weeks altogether. During the second week my boss then told me that he was going to get me a car, one that did not keep on breaking down. In return I was to forfeit my Christmas Bonus, pay rise, and pass on any monies recovered from my insurers to him. I agreed to this immediately.

I could not believe it. It seems that once again I am to receive what I had asked for but it could only happen when I had let go of my beloved car and allowed it to be so.

When my new car arrived it was a Corsa ‘Energy’ the colour was Silver Lightning and the number plate included my late Dad’s name Joe. I was very impressed as I work with ‘Energy’ and I had a feeling that if my Dad could have had a hand in this he would have done so. The other ‘synchronicity’ was that on arrival the mileage read 6660 and the three 666’s in Doreen Virtues book ‘Angel Numbers’ reads – ‘It’s time to focus on Spirit to balance and heal your life. Tell Heaven about any fears you have concerning material supply. Be open to receiving help and love from both humans and angels’.

You could not make it up, I certainly have not.

Be careful what you wish for – because you might just get it!
