It was cartoon characters that I don't see often I tried to pick something that Is uncommon for example earthworm jim that come from the cartoon and the tick on two separate occasions I had this thought and then ended up seeing them on the same day

So you're seeing cartoon characters? In real life, not on TV?

Do me a favor -- ask god to heal my diseased hip. Let me know when you ask. I will report back as to whether or not there's an effect.

Coincidences can be very strange. I don't think anyone knows why.

RE: Please help
Just like a horoscope, thinking about something primes and biases your mind so that it is more likely to notice the same or related things. So arguably, often what appears as coincidence is more self-fulfilling prophesy.

Welcome Denzil99. I think there's a reason you asked the creator and sustainer of the universe, all powerful and all knowing, for a sign that could be filled coincidentally. I think deep down, you know that if you ask for something spectacular and unmistakable, you will never get it.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

I knew there was such a thing but didn't know it had a name.  Whenever I was pregnant it seemed that I saw other pregnant women everywhere I looked.  When not pregnant, I didn't/don't seem to notice them.
