A local woman in Greece once told me something remarkable when I was terrified to see a large green fly-like insect land on my water glass. She said, “Wow, that’s a good sign! She is from St. Mary,” implying it was a holy visit. She gently removed the glass and placed it away from me, allowing the insect to fly off freely.
On another day, I was walking with a friend for 11 kilometers. We were trying to hitch a ride along the highway, hoping someone would stop and pick us up. Despite our repeated attempts, no one was stopping. I was exhausted, my legs felt numb, and the relentless sun and heat drained me. We kept taking breaks, sitting on the roadside before trying again.
At one point, I noticed the same kind of insect on the ground. My friend didn’t see it, but I exclaimed, “Oh my God, look! It’s the holy insect again.” Suddenly, I felt a glimmer of hope. I spoke to the insect, saying, “You’re a holy visit. Please help me—I’m getting depressed. Send us some help.”
I know this might sound strange, but the very next car stopped for us. Overwhelmed with wonder and excitement, I ran toward it. I even shared the story with the driver who picked us up, amazed by the turn of events.
This experience taught me two important lessons:
- Situations Can Change in an Instant
Life is incredibly dynamic—nothing is constant. Just when I thought I’d have to walk for another hour, completely drained and hopeless, everything changed. I was on the verge of tears but held myself together. Divine intervention is truly amazing; God is great. Life can transform so quickly, so it’s crucial to never lose hope. I went from sitting in despair on the roadside to being home in no time. The swiftness of this shift left me in awe—it was the fastest and most profound transformation I’ve ever experienced. - The Power of Belief and Positivity
I’m not entirely sure if the insect was truly “holy” or if such things even exist. But I remembered what that woman told me and chose to believe it. That belief uplifted me, raised my spirits, and gave me hope. Perhaps this shift in my energy was what drew the car to us. It’s a reminder that your internal state reflects externally. By embracing positivity and sharing that energy with my friend, we attracted the help we needed.
This experience showed me that life can exceed your expectations. Not only did the driver stop for us, but they also dropped us off exactly where we lived. We were expecting to walk another 20 minutes after being dropped in the city, but we received something far better.
The takeaway is simple: never lose hope. Things can change faster than you imagine—often for the better. Believe in what uplifts you and gives you hope, whether it’s a sign, an insect, a recurring number, or something else. These things have the power to shift your energy and help you manifest your desires.
That’s the essence of spirituality: feeling connected, grateful, and supported by something greater than ourselves. Whether you call it the universe, God, or a higher power, it responds to your belief. So why not embrace the things that bring you joy and help you feel better? Whether it’s a “holy insect” or a synchronicity, let it raise your vibration, inspire hope, and guide you forward.
