I don't believe in God. That is the last thing
I remember saying. Let me start at the beginning. I am married to a
wonderful woman. We have been trying and trying to have a baby but it
just won't happen. My wife cries herself to sleep every night because
she wants a little child of her own to care for, to love, to hold. She
has even tried to pray to her God to help. Well, I thought she was crazy!
Praying to a make-believe God to help her have a baby after every doctor
she has seen has told her if she were to have a baby it would be a miracle
because medically she is unable to have one.
At the office that day I have a co-worker
who calls himself a "Christian" who is always trying to tell
me about this God thing. I couldn't take it anymore. That day I had
just about had all I could take. My wife was at home constantly telling
me God would take care of them. I come to work and this guy is pushing
God into my face again!! I had to get out of there so I told everyone
I was going home early.
I went out into the lobby and pushed
the elevator button to go down, the door opened and I started to step
in, just then I heard my wife call my name. I turned around to see my
wife standing there with a big smile on her face. It was a very odd
time for her to be there at 3:00 in the afternoon. She shouldn't even
be off work yet!
I heard someone say "I can't
believe this!" and I looked over and saw everyone looking at
the elevator that I had just almost stepped into. I walked over to the
elevator and looked in and I could say nothing. I just couldn't believe
what I was seeing. This elevator had no floor.
If I had stepped into that elevator
I would have dropped 20 stories to my death. I couldn't believe it!!
I looked over at my wife and thought if she had not been here at that
minute I would have been dead!! I asked her, "Why did you come
here this time of day?"
She just looked at me and said, "I
had to go to the doctor this morning and I came by to tell you that
we are going to have a baby." A baby!! A miracle!! One, a miracle
for her to be pregnant; two, for this miracle in itself to save my life.
My last words before that happened. "I don't believe in God."
I dropped to my knees and wept. How could I not believe?
