The Angel Made Me Do It!

A few of my personal stories of how angels have intervened and provided guidance in challenging times.

There are different descriptions of angels throughout different religions, and in fact, outside of religion as well. So rather than trying to explain what angels are, I will tell you a couple of stories of how I feel angels have stepped in and helped me in my life.

This first incident wasn’t the first one I knew about but may well have been the first time my guardian angel stepped in on my behalf. I was having a reading with a fellow psychic recently, and she spoke about a baby in a baby seat (before there were car seats for babies) and a woman driving. There was a car accident. I immediately had an understanding that this was a time when my guardian angel stepped in. I was the baby, and my mom was the driver. The brakes stopped working in the car my mom was driving, and though she had an accident due to not being able to stop, neither she nor I were hurt. We had no seat belts (this was in the early 1960s), so I was just in a plastic baby seat. I hadn't thought about that incident for a long time, since I was too young to remember what happened and only knew what my mother had told me. Looking back it makes total sense that my angel stepped in to protect me.

I had just ‘met’ my guardian angel a day or two before this reading, though I understood that we each have a guardian angel and did meditations with other angels and archangels. I did a meditation to meet my guardian angel, and she told me her name was Honor. I told her, in the meditation, to please give me a sign that I got her name right, by having me see it in print, or hear from someone else in the next 24 hours.

The next day, I was watching television in the evening, and a character told another character, “It’s an honor to meet you,” which made me smile. But then, another character said it as well. And then another. It’s always nice to get signs in threes because it’s harder to dismiss the sign. But then the next show I watched also used the word “honor.” I told Honor, at that point, okay, now you’re just showing off. With a smile, of course.

Having heard that scenario from a psychic who did not know me previously, and knowing that the message came from my guardian angel, it was a good reminder that we have angels watching over us.

Though that was probably the first time I was protected by my guardian angel, I have other stories that I share quite frequently: My youngest daughter, who incidentally is named Angelina, was in a pool with her two older sisters and me. She was just three years old at the time. She didn’t want me to hold her anymore and wanted to sit on the stairs of the pool. I set her down and told her to tell me if she wanted to get off the stairs. She was a good little listener, and we were all in the pool with her, and there was no one else in the pool, so I felt she was safe.

As my other daughters and I were chatting across the pool to each other, I suddenly moved over to where Angelina was now floating in the water. I picked her little mottled body out of the water, and she sputtered water out of her mouth a few seconds later. I was in a bit of shock. I had no idea she had moved off the stairs; I didn’t even realize I was moving toward her or picking her up until after it happened. I don’t know if that was Honor that nudged me or if it was Angelina’s guardian angel, but I definitely got angelic assistance that day.

Fast forward to when Angelina was 12. I was in my home office; she was in her bedroom across the way from the office, and my oldest daughter was in the living room between the two rooms with a friend. Again, I suddenly got up from my chair, went into the living area as Angelina was coming out of her room with her hands at her throat, as if she were choking. Without a thought, I grabbed her and performed the abdominal thrust (Heimlich maneuver), upon which a ball of wax popped out of her mouth. She had been chewing on wax lips that they used to sell around Halloween and was choking on it. My eldest was watching the whole thing in surprise, while her friend was oblivious and just kept watching TV.

I’ve had a couple of situations that I remember where I just missed being in a traffic accident, except that I swerved just in time, not really knowing I was doing it. I just recently tripped, and somehow, rather than landing on my face, my other foot magically made it forward in time to catch me.

I’m not the only one with angel stories; there are many books on the subject and many other people who have stories about angels or an unseen force that helped them in some way.

Some people regard angels as religious icons, and while I’m sure they have their places in religion, I believe, as many other people do, they are for all of us. The more we ask our angels and archangels for assistance, the more they will help us. I ask the angelic realm for help every day and I am more protected for it.

I offer angel readings and would be happy to help you learn who your guardian angel is!
