I Paid for Prayer

And it didn’t pay off

A few days ago I read an article by one of my favorite Medium writers, Grace Bianco, where she talks about the way God communicates with us.

Little Ways That God Has Shown Me His Comfort & Presence Recently

Grace is right, God doesn’t talk to us the way a human would. He’s not screaming in our ears. He gives us signs.

Signs for some, coincidences for others: whatever they are, they are there and can’t be easily ignored. Sometimes they come to comfort us, and sometimes they come to help us learn right from wrong.

Two weeks ago, I got a sign of the second kind during our mountain holiday.

We were in a cozy hotel in one of those small, picturesque Bulgarian towns. My husband and the kids rushed to the mountains in the morning, where they would enjoy the beauty of corroded multicolored stones, steep paths, deep blue lakes, and bunches of sweaty tourists, and they left the cozy hotel to me.
