Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
Here is one of my true stories about my life that I wrote for Quara.

The week before I kneeled on a lime green chair, praying that God would send me a wife.
Fast forward a week. I was sleeping in bed when I was awakened by the sound of water dripping in my living room! I got up and saw a steady stream of water dripping in the middle of my living room!I got dressed, ran downstairs to the Ladies dress shop. The landlord owned the shop. She was older Belgian woman and couldn't speak English, so I motioned her to go upstairs with me.
We went upstairs and showed her the dripping water from the ceiling. The landlord ran downstairs to call a plumber (pre-cell phone era). I ran upstairs to find out what the tenant was doing above me. A young Belgian lady answered the door in a bathrobe, just a bathrobe!
She had basic English skills, but she said that she was taking a shower. I asked her to stop and motioned her downstairs. She put on some clothes and met me and my landlord downstairs in my apartment.
My landlord, and this young lady were speaking Dutch a mile a minute with me just standing there. Finally the young lady, named Marie-Josee, said the plumber was on the way to check out the pipes. The last person that rented the apartment upstairs was a friend of mine. We both were United States Airmen at the local airbase. He had paid to have the shower installed. So I knew that it was brand new and worked great.

Later that afternoon, my landlord, her daughter, Marie-Josee, and the plumber met in my apartment. The daughter could speak excellent English. They were all speaking Dutch to each other.
That's when I had an out-of-body experience! My soul rose above my body and I was looking down. I was hovering near the ceiling. I had tunnel vision, looking down at myself praying on that chair the week before, praying for a wife!
After a few minutes my soul returned to my body. I was sweating profusely! Everyone around me was staring at me like I was a freak! Finally the landlord's daughter explained that the plumber pressure tested the pipes and found nothing wrong! This was impossible due to the amount of the water that leaked.
She said that if it leaked again to let her know. The plumber shrugged his shoulders, and they all walked out. Except for Marie-Josee, who stay behind. I know immediately in my spirit that God provided a miracle of a spiritual experience to tell me that she was the wife He sent in answer to my prayer!
