This publication has been started in reply to a friend’s request in Facebook to share some moments from our lives where we have been aware that particular situations are arranged by God – something given or somebody sent to us by God. The original request was:
\n“Are YOU aware of situations created by God just FOR YOU or people God sent just for you? Please give a few examples…”<\/em><\/p>\n

I think this topic is worth sharing with more people as another testimony of God’s omnipotence and infinite Love and decided to make it more public through our blog.<\/p>\n

It all started in early 1998 when I underwent an incident that totally changed direction of my life. The short story:<\/p>\n

I was caught by a gang in Bulgarian capital. They got mad at me because I was supposed to have money for purchasing vehicle but in the last minute I decided not to take the money with me. I was beaten half to death and they took me to a small lake where they were going to kill me and dump the body in the water since I already saw their faces. The last second their boss said: “Stop. Leave him alone.” and they left.<\/p>\n

After that I had enough time to review all my life and clearly see that I was simply given another chance for change, most likely the last one. Needless to mention that before that happened I lived empty, useless life with no goal, heavily abusing my physical body with alcohol and disregarding my wife and children.<\/p>\n

Soon later a friend of mine gave me “Autobiography of a Yogi” and I immediately got connected to my Guru<\/a> – the author and founder of Cyberspace Ashram for Kriya Yoga, God and Love<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Who was the one to change gangs’ boss mind in the last second and arrange all my life thereafter?<\/h3>\n

God is almighty and can create or arrange anything for the right cause or just for Love – from meeting with the right person at the right time to finding the right job. I can witness many God sent and God given happenings in my life. This publication is just part of them and I will describe my job situation for the last several months in the USA before my departure for Bulgaria.<\/p>\n

In the end of August 2010, financially we were down to “zero” due to a gross negligence which had led to broken leg and surgery in February the same year. Since I had not had permanent employer I started my job search in September from scratch. Everything was extremely slow moving and soon I got desperate.<\/p>\n

End of September, suddenly, my wife confessed that she wants to work as a pediatrician again. We checked with Bulgarian Ministry of Health and got a response that they changed the law in 2009 and Medical Doctor’s rights do not expire anymore. That was great news and we decided to return back to Bulgaria for good.<\/p>\n

And we needed to save some money asap to make the move possible in the Spring of 2011. I briefly calculated that I need to work between 70 and 90 hours weekly to accomplish our move as planned. In this totally different situation the only place to look for a job was … God. <\/p>\n

With my profession as caregiver, without permanent employer, to get so many hours a week is possible only if I find work in the home care field, combined with part time work for some nursing homes and staffing agencies. So, I prayed to God for very precise work schedule: working home care night shifts 10-12 hours a day and some day shifts in the nursing home (in the meantime I got hired by one rehabilitation center for part time, but was getting very little work there).<\/p>\n

And soon it started!<\/p>\n

I was in the file of one home care registry for one year and got nothing at all so far. So, I called them and they offered me a case 3 times a week for 3 hours. It was out of my area and required lots of driving but I took it just to put myself in the active caregivers’ list and the boss’ memory.<\/p>\n

At the same time I visited the staffing coordinator in the nursing center I got hired, with roses and Swiss chocolate and got more hours there. We also have to contribute for our wishes’ fulfillment ( and please only quality stuff to give to who you expect favor from).<\/p>\n

Then one of the caregivers got hit by a car, nothing serious, but I got his case for a while. I was building more and more hours and I was also being called almost miraculously by a staffing agency.<\/p>\n

One night, while working in a nursing home, around 21:30 I got a call from the home care registry ( it was a rule for me not to carry my cell phone while working, but that night it just happened to be in my pocket) for emergency situation with a guy in his house. The guy was an Alzheimer patient, violent at times, and his wife was not able to handle him. I got there after my nursing home shift and managed to get along with him. The agency boss was so impressed that I got the whole case just for me – every single night from 8pm to 8am = 84 hours a week. Plus my work in the rehab, already short custom made shifts just for me. Remember the chocolate? It always works and I continued to bring some of it. Plus roses. I worked 3 months with that case and then immediately got another one and another one till my departure on May 15th.<\/p>\n

And since I needed car to drive to and from my jobs I kept my car till the last
\nminute and prayed to God to send me a buyer on the last day. And that also happened. The last day around 8:30 in the morning I put an ad in the Craigslist and half an hour later a guy called me and got the car.<\/p>\n

God is Love<\/p>\n
