I'm not one to believe that numbers are lucky or unlucky, but I do seem to have a strange thing going on with the number 7, one that I'm not entirely fond of to be honest.
My deal with the number 7?
When I was 7 years old I was going through the worst bullying phase of my life, I don't remember much else from that year, but I also got hit by a car (and survived obviously) some time that year.

This year it's ten years later, and again I'm a number 7. 17. I didn't really think about the number 7 much, I felt older strangely unlike when I turned 16 and felt the same, maybe it's just because I knew I was almost going into my last year of school.
2 weeks later I got hit by a motorcycle, I know! Purely coincidence? Maybe. Strange? Definitely. A week later one of my best friends got hit by a vehicle too and survived. Then there were a few health issues with my friends that didn't exactly make it fun.
Then on the 6th of February my Grandfather died. This was the first person very close to me who died, he was basically my father, which really hit me. I still haven't really gotten over it. The next while was alright having it's ups and downs, one of my good friends got a girlfriend who I just can't seem to like and basically abandoned me. He moved away for five months in August and doesn't seem to give a toss about me. Then most recently another large pitfall. One of my good friends died of a heart complication while I was away, I wasn't able to go to his funeral and he's sadly missed by my whole year. He was one of the nicest and most talented guys I knew too, which I think is a shame.
Things are alright now. Of course there were good things happening too during the year, but it just seems that this year has been one of the worst in my life.

Am I crazy to think that maybe the number 7 seems to dislike me? Maybe.
Do you think you have a connection with a number?
Did you understand anything I just said?
Should I avoid moving vehicles when I'm 27 just in case it's 3rd time lucky, or unlucky for me?

I'm a Christian, and I beleive that one of the ways God get's you to come to him if someone prays for you is to make your life fall apart. Maybe this could be it. But I doubt it, sounds like just a bunch of crap is going on, none of which would lead you to God.

I'm not religious as you've figured out.
I was born and raised a catholic, I think I've had my fill of religion so if God's trying to send me some kind of message he'll have to tell me himself.
What a nice way to show he cares - making your life fall apart.

It's because God is always helping us, trying to lead us on the best path, and if someone prays for you salvation he stops helping you, so that you have to realize you were getting his help.

And being raised Catholic probably gave ou no relationship with God. The Catholic church is all about religion and not at all about Christianity. Christianity is a very private thing, churches are not Christian.

I suppose. But my Granny has been praying for me for years. o_O

IDK I know some Catholics who feel differently then that but I understand your perspective. Well most religions if not all involve a place of worship, which is basically a church. So IDK about that.

But if he is trying this he needs to try harder because honest to God it's making me dislike God more. I always thought there was something wrong in basing your life around something that could probably be explained with science.

I just think that most people's graduating year is the crappiest. My friends- anorexic, bulemic, miscarried, parents divorcing, father kills someone while drunk driving... and that's not even mentioning the sort of stuff I was dealing with either.
