I really don't say too much about all these things...well....because for one, I don't want them (miracles) to end, and am a bit superstitous. And 2, because I struggle with the fact that maybe my Faith [alone] has a big part in things happening! And should be enough, without me needing proof. Reading back here...its hard for me to explain it really!
That may seem odd to even the religious out there, but it's my thing. And something I need to sort out and deal with.
Well if you have personal experiences, it's not my place to say that you didn't, or to proclaim to anyone else that you didn't (unless they take it as an example for their own belief, at which point I will feel obligated to point out the flaw in that)
Personal revelation and experience is something particular only to you, and can't reasonably be countered against you by someone else, but at the same time can't be used as evidence for anyone else.
That's all I'd say to that.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
