I like a lot of you have been seeing 222 and then 22 a lot this year.  This was first followed by seeing 555 and 55 last year.   It’s  crazy how many times I’ve seen 22 and 222 this year and it would happen everywhere, from seeing the numbers scratched on a bathroom wall, on t-shirts, on football jerseys, uncountable times on clocks, on buses, on voice mails messages (time message left), emails (time email sent), and I’m sure  you get the idea.  As the sightings of the 2’s began to mount, I wondered if it was an Omen or some other warning, and I began to fear seeing that number.  I would avoid looking at clocks in the afternoon or early morning hours , but it was no use,  because I still would slip up and catch the number 2:22 or 12:22  on occasion and it would send a chill up my spine.  I knew I was afraid of the number for a while, because I would laugh nervously whenever I would see it.

I believe in God. I believe that he is the God of the bible, and also believe that if you pray in the name of Jesus, God will provide answers because the bible tells us that God is not the author of confusion.  I had been praying for several months now, but there was no answer provided to the mystery, so in vain I would search the internet and books, and still wind up even more confused.  However, I did not give up asking God for revelation to this mystery of the 2’s.  God answers prayers in his own time, if he choses to answer at all!!!   It is really up to him.   Well God finally provided the answer to me last night as I watched a replay of the  2008 Summer Olympics on Universal channel 4.4 last night.   Towards the end of the telecast they showed the women’s 4 X400 meter relay and told the story of a woman named Sanya Richards and how disappointing her Olympics had been.  She had been expected to win the gold in the 400 meters, but she blew her lead and wound up in third place for the bronze.  She was very, very sad on the podium becuase of the high expectations she had placed on herself.  It was also noted that she had slightly injured her hamstring during that third place finish, so for all intensive purposes it looked like Sanya was going to come home without a gold medal from the games.  Thankfully, she had one more event left, the women’s 4 X400 meter relay.  Sanya would be the fourth leg in the relay.  The U.S. was expected to face stiff competition in this race and that is exactly what happened.  By the time Sanya got the baton on the final lap of the race, the U.S. was at least 5  meters behind first place Russia.  However, Sanya would not be denied as she pushed through the pain of her injury and disappointing bronze medal performance and caught the Russian to win the gold for the U.S. 4 X 400 relay team.  Their time was the fastest time run in that event since 1993.  However, the thing that stood out was the number on Sanya’s  back as she celebrated with her teammates: 3222.

Yep, I was stunned, but unlike the times before I was not afraid.  The answer was given to me at that moment by the Creator.  The number means to me, that although I am now 41 years old, and considered by some to be far behind in the race of life because  I am not married,  I have not attained success in my career even though alot was expected from me.  I am also currently facing financial difficulties,  but God still is willing to push me to victory, if I can push through my own struggles and obstacles.  I was overwhelmed with that insight from God, and I praise His Mighty name for giving me this insight.   The only thing left for me to do is to follow through with the Wisdom that God has shown me.

In closing, I realize that the number will still mean different things to different people, but I just had to share what I now firmly believe that the number means to me.  I also am asking you to please continue to ask God for the meaning of 222 in your life,  and do not give up.  I have no doubt that in His time, the answer will be provided to you.  Thank  you for taking time out of your life to read my post, and may God bless you all.
