I keep finding paperclips everywhere...

I keep finding paperclips everywhere... And I know they're from God. 

Does this title sounds weird to you?

Well it can be intriguing right? But it's true. At least that's what i found in myself. Let's start by the beginning. 

It was a Wednesday,  October 19th, 2016, i woke up in the morning, i wanted to go to the mall in the city of Barcelona. 
I was already on my way, not far from home, when i noticed a big paperclip on the floor, it was the biggest paperclip i’ve ever seen. I was walking and i thought “what is that doing here?, that’s funny” and i kept walking, after less than 5 minutes i saw exactly the same paperclip & same size on the floor again. I couldn’t help it but to pick it up. I was puzzled. 

I took the bus while watching the paperclip, and wondering what was it... I arrived at the mall. And to my surprise i found another paperclip, this one was white and small. I started laughing and watching up to the sky, I KNEW it was a sign from God! but what it was even more funny when just 20 meters away I saw another one, completely different.  And i couldn’t stop laughing... 

Later that day I had one of the most memorable arguments with one of my best friends and felt completely horrible and exhausted. I knew God was with us, we're both Christians but i felt so far away from Him...
After the fight i forgot about the paperclips, and i forgot they came from God.


But it happened again, on a Thursday evening, one month later, November 17th, (it’s a very special day for me...) I was in the train, when me and my friend were talking about the movie Serendipity. “Finding something good without looking for it.” The movie is about signs and fate, a love story. 
After talking to her, i had to leave the train, doors opened and i saw the paperclip most perfectly put on the ground, it was on the door “I” decided to come out, it was 5 cms away from the door, it was blue, and completely straight. I picked it up. And thought about God, Serendipity and Paperclips again. That’s when my paperclip journey truly began.




Since that paperclip on November 17th i have found countless paperclips, and seen many on tables, on-line, shops...
They appear always when i’m walking, when i’m thinking about life, about God, or what should i do with my life...


i found one when i was thinking i had to help the poor.
i found one in my parents car in front of a mountain that has the same name as one of my best friends.
i found one after discussing sex before marriage with a friend.
i found one when i was to ask for a job, and found one after being accepted.
i found one after walking a lot to get healthy food.
i found two one day i was feeling really stressed.
i found one in the middle of nowhere.
i found one at night, in my small town. 
i found one when i was feeling bad of myself.
i found many when i was thinking about God and life.
I found two in Germany.
i found one before doing something i didn't want to do but it was necessary.


One of the most shocking was on March 21st, 2017th. 
I was praying to God as I usually do when i'm walking. Specifically that day i was praying that my future husband knows Him, and just after thinking "I really hope he knows You God... I pray my husband is a Christian" I found not one, but TWO paperclips, bound. 
Later that week i noticed there's an emoji of two linked paperclips on Whatsapp. <3

The second most shocking was on 9th of April, 2017. That i found one absolutely in the middle of nowhere when i was walking, just relaxing. 







You know what have i realized... after more than 30 paperclips found? 
That He knew i would pay attention to that small thing :) He knew He would make me laugh and feel loved just by that. I always feel at peace and very loved when i find one. And it usually happens when I least expect it, or when I'm very sad or when i need to make a decision, it's like a pat in the back saying "i've got you. Remember?" 

That's why i created this blog. I want to know the dates when i have found one and what was i doing while i found it. And the thought that this may have some relation to something else gets me really exited. :) 

Do you also find paperclips as signs of God? I want to know!
