Please share yours, big or small ❤️

After many years of marriage and just one car, it had been getting increasingly challenging to coordinate using the car and it was getting very frustrating. I live in a city where every couple I can think of has 2 cars, public transportation isn't really used.

After mentioning this to my husband multiple times, I decided that he couldn't help me because it was out of our budget so why do I keep telling him? I need to tell Hashem.

Within 2 days of davening, I got a call from one of my relatives offering me a car that he no longer needed. It's an old car but just what we needed and so so helpful.
TYH ❤️

Was off bc for a few months and getting desperate. On shabbos was feeling down as I got my period again. On motsei dh suggested we go to the ribnitzers kever as it was either his yhartzeit or Rosh Chodesh I don’t remember. I went and davened for a healthy baby girl as I had only one girl at the time and she really wanted a sister.
I’m not much of a davener in general.
2+ weeks later was my mother’s yhartzeit and I asked her for the same. I hear a voice in my head “she’s already inside you”. Not the first time I had a thought or premonition at my mother’s kever but it only happens when I’m pregnant.
Anyway bh yes turns out she was already inside me and I bh have my healthy baby girl.

I'm a Lubavitcher, so every time I've had a major issue, either I or someone else has written a letter to the Rebbe, and I have been answered. I had secondary infertility and eventually got my second (and later third) son. My first son became desperately sick, hospitalized, and many people wrote on his behalf. BH he's a healthy boy today. I wrote for a dear friend to have the specific shidduch she wanted, and to keep my job when it looked like my organization would be downsizing. I've been really very blessed, which I think about often. I'm grateful for my younger boys, but especially that my oldest son lived. It's of course very heartbreaking to want a pregnancy and not get it, but it's truly nothing like facing the mortality of a living child.

When I was in sem in Israel I had no money. I mean absolutely none, cut off from parents because I became frum, had no help from a rabbi or anything. I davened and was asked the same day if I wanted to clean someones house regularly. Wasn't much, 25 shekels an hour but I could buy bus tickets and shabbos gifts.
Then one day I was walking to ramat eshkol because I had run out of money and it was very windy. Suddenly 50 shekels flew my way. I couldn't believe it, I was so happy.

Then when I davened to get pregnant and had my healthy baby. That's obviously my biggest and most important one.

I Davened for a Veeeeery long time that my husband understands me. He has Asperger's, so this is difficult for him. He's been working on making our marriage better for the past 8-10 years. He's not there yet fully but each Rosh chodesh I have in mind by hallel to thank Hashem for the progress my husband made. Sometimes really big progress that people with Asperger's have a hard time with.
