Could this be signs from above?

I am a 28 year old man that recently got the girl I am seeing pregnant. I don't even consider her my girlfriend right now. I was so torn on what to do, as she was. She already has 3 kids with 2 different fathers. She was going to have the abortion and not even tell me that she was ever pregnant but she couldn't do it. She had to tell me. I was in shock and did not know what to do. I had asked advice from friends and family. Most were for the abortion but I just didn't feel right. I felt like I needed help from someone higher. I needed help from God or a guardian angel. I prayed in my head. I asked for advice. I told myself that I need advice from someone higher. I couldn't make this decision. I was in no position to decide on life or death.

The next day I was driving back from a chiropractors appointment and as I got closer to home I looked up and noticed a blue balloon in the shape of a foot hanging from the telephone line above the street. It read "It's a boy!". I was shocked. I was amazed. I said to myself "wow that's a strange coincidence." I thought that this was odd but I didn't really even think about the prayer that I made the day prior.

The following day I was driving to my friends house. Something told me to take a different route then I usually take there. I don't normally go this way but I have gone enough to know the road that I have to take. I got to the road and both roads looked similar so I wasn't exactly sure which road to take. I ended up taking the 2nd road and I realized it was the wrong road about a half mile down. So, at the next stop sign I pulled a u-turn and headed back. The timing was all perfect because when I got on the correct road I ended up behind a red pick up truck, and I was close enough to read the bumper stickers. There were 3 bumper stickers - all of them were anti-abortion bumper stickers. This gave me the chills. My jaw dropped. I was really in shock and was starting to think that there is something to this and the balloon that I saw the previous day. I'm starting to think that someone up above is making this all happen.

Well the next day, or it might of been the day after I was talking to my parents about the whole situation and how I noticed these 2 very odd things. I was explaining my point about how odd it is to be behind any vehicle with anti-abortion bumper stickers never mind the fact that I was behind it after taking the wrong road to my friends house. I was trying to show them that this was all more then a coincidence. I had the feeling that they didn't believe me. My father reads the horse racing form daily. He went downstairs after talking to me and he immediately called me down. I was still talking to my mother about everything so I didn't want to come down. I told him to wait - not knowing what he was about to tell me. I ended up coming down and asking him what he wanted about 10 minutes later. He showed me the racing form on his computer. He highlighted the name of the horse that was scratched. "David's little boy". This gave me the chills down to my feet. I could not believe I was reading this. I go by Dave but my birth name is David. This in my opinion was all signs from above. This was God or some sort of spiritual guide telling me the right decision.

We had another conversation just a few days ago about this and I told my parents about how all this stuff that was happening was not by chance. It was no coincidence. I said it was the work of God or some higher power, maybe my guardian angel. They believed it but still was leaning towards having the abortion I could tell. I just didn't feel supported by them. At about 2pm that same day just about 2 hours after talking to them I was getting ready to leave for the day to have lunch. I sat down and was just watching the beginning of a movie that my dad put on. I was just relaxing a little before I left to have lunch. In the movie description it mentions nothing at all about babies or pregnancy. The movie was just an action movie. In the beginning of the movie a woman is very excited and has some surprise news to tell her husband. She runs in and shows him an ultrasound picture of the baby that they are expecting. My jaw dropped again. I believe this was yet another sign. This one was to reassure me of everything and to help reassure my parents. I couldn't believe it.

What do you all think about this? Could this be signs from God or my guardian angel? Or perhaps even my child's guardian angel? I was always interested in these types of things but now that something has directly happened to me I am even more interested.

It shouldn't matter what we, or anybody else thinks of these signs. It matters what it means to YOU since it's your journey. If they resonate with you, then do what feels right to you.

Ok, Dave. This is just one perspective. Whether you subscribe to it or not, well, that's up to you.

There is this thing called the Law of Attraction .... I shall not go into all the details, but basically the idea is that when you think a lot about something, the universe magically responds and that "something" starts appearing all around in your environment, either actually or symbolically.

Many of us have tried variations of what is often called the "blue feather" experiment. Idea of the original experiment is that if you consistently visualise blue feathers - and reach a certain point - suddenly, blue feathers will start appearing in your reality.

Eg one may fall on your head; you may see a blue bird on TV; a woman wearing a hat with blue feathers may bump into you on the street; a friend may be seen wearing a T-shirt with a design featuring blue feathers.

One view is that these are not at all "signs" from a "higher power". That is, it isn't God or an angel giving you clues or hints as to what you should do. Instead these are occurrences generated by your own mind (which creates your own reality).

For example, you have been thinking a lot about "baby", "abortion", "son" etc. These kinds of reflections will spontaneously start appearing in your reality. It IS quite a magical, paranormal phenomenon. But it ISN'T the work of some higher power trying to communicate with you.

That's one theory anyway. As I said, all up to you to believe or not.

Very interesting points. I saw a special on the Law of Attraction a couple months back. I never thought about it like that. Either way it's amazing. It's really incredible.

I thank you all for your thoughts.
