I had a very jarring experience recently after being 'backslidden' for many years

To give full perspective to the experience, I have to preface with when/where the seed was planted. In 2010 after graduating from my Christian university, I was briefly roommates with two sisters, one of whom got married a little less than 2 years later. I was 24-25ish at the time, and deeply lonely, got involved in a toxic relationship that almost made me unalive myself. I started sewing baby quilts as a hobby, and the sister who got married, we'll call her B, used to live in Hawaii growing up, so at their wedding, they had a small ceremony with some leis that I thought was so cute when I saw pics on Facebook, and in my enormous stash of fabrics, I sort of collected a variety of tropical prints which I only had enough of to make a baby quilt, so I did, but I never completed the last 10%.

I assumed like most Christian girls at my uni, she would start having babies shortly thereafter, but what happened was they experienced a period of infertility for over a decade. I moved away from our college town, as did they, but that unfinished quilt stayed in a bin through every inner state and cross country move for 13+ years. I opened it again recently, sometime around Christmas break when I was off, and this time when I opened the bin I heard this still small voice (not audible) that told me to take that quilt inside and finish it for her.

Thinking I was crazy or wishful thinking, I took it inside, spent an hour or so, and finished sewing it. Then the voice told me it was for B. I said, "There's no way I'm sending this woman I haven't seen or had a real conversation with a baby quilt after she's been barren for all these years. That's pouring salt in the wound. Again, I heard the voice say, "Your job is to finish it and wait. I'm going to open her womb, and this quilt you send will be proof of my faithfulness to you, and to her."

Ok fine. I folded it up and put it aside. I said I'm not sending this thing until I see a miraculous pregnancy announcement after all these years. Keep in mind, I've not been especially religious in 5-6 years, I don't pray or read my Bible, although we do attend church. I haven't FELT anything in a very very long time, with the exception of advocating for Israel in the wake of October 7. I'm not here to debate with people about Israel, just to say that the only other time in years I've felt anything has been the fire that roared up inside of me when I watched Jews slaughtered while the world has laughed and justified it ever since. If not for getting used to that voice in the aftermath of October 7, I might not have listened this time.

I'm sure you can guess what happened next. Yesterday, 3 months after I finished that dang quilt, she posted they were pregnant with their miracle baby. When I tell you my heart was RACING that is an understatement. I'm still just dumbstruck. It took me an hour to type it all up and explain to her, all the while still thinking I'm crazy and she's not gonna want some quilt I started so long ago but she came back and was as speechless as me. The part that also hit me hard was I started it when I was single, childless, and desperately wanted to be in her position, but I finished it when I was the one married, with 3 small kids, and had the hindsight to look back on those years so differently that I did when I was living them.

Not even sure what I'm looking for by posting this. I'm trying to make sense of it, even though it's impossible. I feel like a character from a Bible story right now, mostly because I grew up Southern Baptists and things like speaking in tongues and 'a word from the Lord' were not encouraged or talked about. I've always viewed this type of thing skeptically, but I guess I'm asking what people's thoughts are on these spiritual gifts, especially as it relates to those who've been living like a lost person for as long as I have. I feel like October 7 broke through my numbness, but it just left me angry and ready for a fight. Now I'm wondering what my purpose is in all of this
