I think I've actually experienced a miracle of some kind.
Every Saturday Shabbat, me (M17) and my step-father (M57) study The Torah & Talmud in our garden. This typically occurs anytime from 3 to 4 PM, and lasts, on average, 45 minutes.
Recently, however, my sleep schedule, due to me being on summer break and thus not having any persistent reason to get up early, has been messed up quite a bit. Last Shabbat, I asked to move the time forward to 7 PM so that we could still study, and this worked, at least on the surface.
Unfortunately, due to various fears held by my step-father that stem from his previous, often horrendous relationships, my mother (F57) has been informed by my step-father, and has told me that he very much prefers to have our study sessions at 3 to 4 PM, for otherwise, it seems like I'm saying that I feel like I "could take it or leave it".
As such, this Shabbat, we scheduled for 4 PM, and I prepared myself for just under 24 hours of staying awake.
*However*, out of the blue, my step-father cames up to me at around 3:30 PM to tell me that, actually, we couldn't do 4 PM, because he needed to return a friend of his' phone that was apparently just left in his car??? Okay. We rescheduled for 7 PM, and he went out to give his friend's phone back to him. I got around three hours of sleep, and we studied Torah & Talmud at 7 PM sharp.
I am not intentionally making any part of this up, and if I could be honest, this feels like a genuine miracle of some kind. After hearing that my step-father wishes to only do 3 to 4 PM for study, the ***VERY NEXT*** SHABBAT, ***HE HIMSELF*** ASKS TO RESCHEDULE FOR A ***COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE*** REASON.
Can someone smarter and more versed in Torah knowledge tell me if this is a sign or something? I, as someone who is undoubtedly a sinner in a mild capacity, am pretty joyous right now.
