Always listen to feelings like this. It may be God trying to tell you something!

We have instincts, but try to ignore them because we think they are baseless, or we don't want to be rude or be looked at funny. But I've had many times where I just had this feeling to do or not do something, and if I went against that feeling, something bad happened.

I was driving home once and had the option to go right or left, and the miles were the same to get home. My instincts screamed "go left" but I went right. About a mile later, the feeling almost made me turn around for some reason, but I didn't. Totaled my car a few miles later.

A friend of mine was in an elevator with a bunch of people in a parking garage. All the other women got off the elevator but her, and a guy. She had a bad feeling about him, but didn't want to appear rude, and only had to go one more floor. Well, he attacked her, and she was lucky to be able to get away from him. He had attacked two other women in that parking garage that week.
