this is what happened today and i need ideas please.
background: 1)i have been thinking about the whole god/religion thing alot lately because of my participation on this forum. 2) i tend to believe in god but not the bible or jesus.
3) i may be crazy but prefer to think of myself as creative and misunderstood.
4)i have had alot of worries about certain things lately (this is an important point)
what happened today:
i was given a big box of nail polish by a friend a while back who didnt want it anymore. there must be about 25 different shades in the box. today i glanced at the box and immediately focused on a color that appealed to me and picked it up and read the name of the shade and it was called "faith".
i am wondering if this could possibly be a message from god or the universe that i should have faith and not worry (because of certain things ive been worried about).
or is it just a coincidence?
if something similar happens within the next couple of days would it be more likely that it is indeed a "sign" of something?
thanks for your replies! please respond!

Rely on common sense not emotion.

Very few decisions in life that we make using emotion, end up being good ones.

Coincidence is just coincidence.

There is nothing mystical and meaningful in the names of fingernail polish.

I had a strange experience several months ago. On one of my shoes the rubber sole had detached from the leather upper. I picked it up for closer inspection. The sole flapped, and it seemed to say, "Repent for your sins or you will go to hell"! Taken by surprise I quickly threw the shoe down and stared at it for a few minutes. But it didn't say any more. I wonder what it all means?

It means that you are a closet-Christian.
You want to be a Christian but are conserned how other people will react to this desire.

I wouldn't worry much about the "message on a bottle" Nicolepsy. I would look for the message inside me, or all around me
