As far as other people to talk about this I don't have anyone. Besides my wife. I feel like if I was to tell someone that they would think that I was crazy. I told my wife and she did not seem surprised at all. She actually told me afterwards that when she was little the knew that she was going to marry someone named Michael. (That's my name) and that he was going to do big things. All I need is confirmation. That's it. Only God can confirm it. I see God in the little and big things in life and sometimes I feel that he is talking to me through these things. But then I wonder if it's just my own thoughts.

Well, how God chooses to communicate, I dare never to restrict. Some are further in their walk then others. While some are walking in a way that allows God entry into their lives a lot easier then it might be for others.
Here's a story from a Sister in Christ Jesus I used to work with and who is now an Ordained Minister. She is one person I know who moves at the prompting of the Holy Spirit. However, she has wondered why, but it has never stopped her from doing whatever it was that she was being asked to do. Never stopping her from obeying. This is one story that I will share with you.
Prior to being ordained she was driving home after closing the church where she went to and worked at doing office work. She was almost home....,when she had a great urge that fell upon her to return to the church. Wondering, but not questioning the prompting from the Holy Spirit. She turned the car around and headed back to the church. Even though she was only a mile from her home and had to drive 10 miles back the way she had already come! Upon arriving. She found, a woman who was stranger to her. Banging on the church doors for all she was worth. Even though it was getting on evening time she got out of her car and approached the woman who seemed in distress. She asked the woman if she could help her at the same time letting her know that she worked at the church.
The woman asked if she could talk to her. My friend even though tired from a full day at work, and having illnesses which sap her strength and periodically has her in the hospital. Opened the church back up and proceeded to make the woman feel at home. After a little time, the woman told my friend that the problem was her marriage. Sadly, how often this occurs now a days! The woman continued to tell her that she was at the end of her rope. Not only in marriage but life itself. She said "If you hadn't come at the moment that you did. I had made a promise that if nobody answered I was going to kill myself." She had reasoned that if nobody answered then God wanted her to die.
This story is amazing in how the Holy Spirit will move us who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior after He starts to dwell in us. For whatever reason. Not everyone is open readily to such prompting. The toughest think for anyone, be they believer or not is obeying! It takes us out of our comfort zones. Too often man has no desire to change, and though it might be painful to stay right where they are. They will continue to do so no matter how much it hurts!! The adversary also has much to do with this.
I share this not to convince you to do this or not to do this. That is between you and God. I want you to just realize that if it is His will for you. There is a reason for it and that all the resources you will need, will be made available to you. Always remember my brother. He is our provider, Jehovah-jireh!
I will continue to pray for you.
