On your website it mentions you’re looking for angel stories for your book, and I’d like to share my experience with you.
Kind regards

Do I believe in angels? Well, that’s a very good question! I lived in Norfolk for a number of years and suffered with very severe depression, as a result of being in an abusive relationship. I felt so desperately lonely, and every day for three years I contemplated taking my own life. Yes, it really was that bad. To sum up those years, and without going into too many personal details, I would describe that time as being in ‘total hell’.
I remember one special event that occurred back in 2001. I was at my lowest ebb possible and seriously considering ending my life. I managed (goodness knows how!) to drive to Bury St. Edmunds and went to sit inside the abbey. The weather was horrendous that day- dark grey clouds, pouring rain, thunder and lightening. I felt it would be the only place that I would feel safe and where I could maybe find some refuge from the way I was feeling.
I sat there in silence for about 30 minutes and asked God to give me a sign that everything was going to be ok, because I was absolutely terrified. As I sat on the pew with began tears streaming down my face, and I was seriously doubting that I’d get any kind of sign. However, after about 5 minutes, I noticed that the sun was streaming through one of the stain-glass windows (very unusual for such a dark miserable day). When I turned around, it was shining through one of the angel figures depicted in the artwork! WOW! Was this my sign!?
Being the sceptic, I thought it was merely a coincidence and too good to be true, so I ‘tested’ God to give me another sign…. After 10 minutes nothing had happened so I decided to take a look in the gift shop. I opened the door, and the first thing I clapped my eyes on was a book about angels. There was my second sign- and a serious wake-up call that I wasn’t alone and never had been! I’ve felt an affinity to them ever since….
I looked out of the window and asked the shop assistant if she’d noticed when the sun had come out- she looked slightly perplexed, and replied that she had no idea what I was talking about!! A very profound, yet odd experience. So, I guess I could say I do believe in angels….
I am grateful to say that I finally found the strength to leave my abusive past behind me, and I’d like to think that the angelic realms played their part.
