I think this is your lane. This is very engaging, thought provoking, and mysterious. Maybe life meets spiritual beings, good and evil forces warring with each other. This is your lane. Truly.

I know this is out of place. You asked earlier what you might write about. THIS

What an interesting and unusual writer and readers. I am getting very educated here through someone i was drawn to because of his hard rock experiences and expressiveness, and now here we all are! May wonders never cease. Many thanks, Coleman.

You are such a treasure Coleman! I love this so much! I am so grateful for my guardian angels too and talk with them sometimes in my head letting them know that I appreciate them and I am sorry if I make them look bad with the Father. I tell them He knows it’s not their fault that I am such a screw up. And that He loves them just as much as me and one day we’ll all be together. I wish I had your knack for writing because there are so many instances in my life where I think if I had not been already thinking and talking to them I would have been lost. I know they won’t give up on me but I don’t know why they stick with me because I haven’t named them and days will go by without me even acknowledging their presence but I know for a fact they have saved my life!!! Thanks for this!!

hehehehehe ..... But seriously , Archangel Azrael is my birth Archangel , scared the crap out of me the first time I met him. Yes he does come to me as a man, as the Archangels come to you as you need them to appear. Guardian angels are different then Archangels but your guardian angels can have archangel names. You can even name your guardian angel if you like. We all have more than one, it not just in case, its divine order. Just in case you didnt know, Archangel Azrael is the angel of death, but has many more magickal abilities that he helps us with. I will figure out how to share a picture of him later for you all....

LOL I know , not your typical workplace anxiety lol

Oh yeah I figured his idea of “ workplace anxiety” would be something to do with his lifestyle. And actually I can relate somewhat as an RN whose workplace anxiety was not so much about saving my skin but about saving the lives of my patients. Lord have mercy I know my guardian angels worked with theirs sometimes and when we lost someone they were there to help me deal with it so many times I am so grateful for their help because otherwise I would see death as the enemy. There is a peace in your soul when you know that God is in control and that peace is a necessity in the workplace of a nurse. Now that I am not in nursing anymore I am thankful that that peace has stayed with me cause it is a necessity for life! Just common ordinary everyday life which is not really ordinary and common but minute by minute is transformed into the spiritual reality God has for us always

Death is not the enemy, people just dont undestand the process of it and death is not just about dying. death for example can be about any kind loss where you experience grief. and entails growing from that experience transforming into what you are suppose to be

How do you know or how can you tell your guardian angel names or if you have an Archangel at birth?

How?

So I have no idea about these guardian angels or Arch angels say on friend

The Arch Angels are Top Angels like Gabriel and Michael

The Guardian Angel is assigned to each human soul and has its own prayer…

They’re also supposed to as possible protect us from harm…

It would explain a lot…

I agree, that was brilliant!

Good stories. Had a few times in my life where it felt like I was getting outside help. Made me wonder how we, fragile assemblages don't get snuffed out sooner and live into our 80s and 90s. Gotta be more than luck.

Coincidentally, I'd been working on a painting of some people sitting around but felt I needed something extra. Came up with the idea of throwing some angels up into the sky to balance out the people on the ground. Spent half a day digging through art books for images of angels. Currently struggling with the Angela. Toyed with the idea ofpainting them out again. Then I read your story. Decided to give the angels another chance. So thanks for your story.

So good Coleman. I love that a female incarnation of the Angel of Death is your guardian angel. She’s clearly overworked and frustrated 😊

WOW. I'm blown away.....

Have my own Azreal. But haven’t figured out her name yet. I just know she’s female, and I should not be still around.

She has woken me several times when I had gone to sleep certain that I would not be waking up.

Nice story telling, Mr Coleman.

I can identify with a few scenarios.

How is this even possible?! I've been reading my whole life and you are easily one of my favourite writers. What a gift you have and are.

Looks like you've gained a lot of followers in a fairly short time Colman! This was even more moving for me this time around! 💚
